Liquid soap and disinfectant preparation in NYSC orientation camp

SAED SAED SAED!!!
In my last post, I made mention of a special program, organized by the NYSC team. So it was time to participate in this beautiful program to improve my skills.

Skill acquisition and empowerment development is a must do program for all corp members in orientation camp.

At the SAED center, we were introduced again to the various facilitators who will be taking us on different entrepreneurial skills. I also made mention of these various skills in my last post, but that was just more like an introduction to what the whole program is aimed at achieving.

I have finally made up my mind to go into the area of cosmetology and organic products. Every other skills are so very very important and I would have loved to be a part of every skills. Unfortunately, we just have to pick one skill and register with and actively participate. I had in mind going for baking but I changed my mind along the line and in choose cosmetology.

So far, we have gone two days into our lessons and it's been everything captivating and educating. The first day was an introductory class where she told us what we are to expect in the class and the different products we will be making in the class.

According to our facilitator, we will be making a total of 10 productions. These 10 productions include:

Liquid soap
Disinfectants
Bar soap
Pink lip balm
Organic body soap
Perfume
Hair shampoo
Hair cream
Body cream
Dettol

The idea Is to cover two productions in one day, so that we will be done in a total of 5 days. Well in as much as the say everything is free here, we were still asked to pay a sum of #4500 approximately 46 steem for the knowledge gained and chemicals to be used in preparation of all 10 products. To think we haven't received money from the government yet is overwhelming to Carter for all the bills in camp.

It was day two and time for actual practice to start. Our facilitator got all the chemicals ready for production of liquid soap and disinfectant.

10 LITERS LIQUID SOAP PRODUCTION STEPS

Measure 10L of water in a big bowl.
From the bowl, fetch 1L of water to dissolve soda ash in a separate container
Fetch ½ L to dissolve SLS
Fetch 1/4 L to dissolve caustic soda
Fetch 1/4 L to dissolve STPP

A total of 2 liters of water has been used in total.

In the remaining 8 liters of water, add Nitrosol and stirr gradually
Add caustic soda solution and stirr
Pour a mixture of Texapon and symphonic acid and stirr
Add soda ash solution and stirr
Add SLS solution and stirr
Add STPP solution and stirr
Add foam booster and stirr
Add preservatives and stirr
Add fragrance ( we used lemon fragrance but it can be any fragrance you desire)
Use a little water to dissolve colorant, add and stir until all chemicals are properly mixed.

We have our liquid soap ready if this few steps are followed thoroughly.

5 LITERS DISINFECTANT PREPARATION

Drain off the bowl
Add Texapon and don't stir (so that it will not congeal)
Add Pine oil and stir until the Texapon is dissolved completely
Add Phenol (main active disinfectant) and stir
Add carbonic acid and stir
Add Lysol and stirr
Add Izal concentrate and stir
Add Izal booster and stir
Measure the quantity of water needed (4 and half liters) and stir
Add whitener and stirr

You have an amazing disinfectant solution that can be used for bathing, washing, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces.

That was all the production for that day. I look forward to an amazing production in subsequent classes. Y'all stay tuned and learn from my SAED classes.
