MCM College “Create my own signature soap”
 
 
 
As a multipurpose cleaning tool, soaps are usually made up of fats and alkaline solution. In ancient Egypt, soaps and aromatic oils were not only used for washing but also as medical cure for many skin and muscle diseases, and the tradition was continued into the Roman civilization. MCM College hosted a series about “creating my own signature”, this time, students used raw materials to create soaps that are biodegradable, economical and without potential chemical irritants like SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate).
To make these eco-friendly and SLS free soaps, students first melt the soap base and add in few drops of coconut oil, and then they add in dried flowers and medical herbs that suit their individual needs. In addition to creating their own soap, students also learn about the functions of different floral and herbal ingredients. |
