| Toilet Soaps - Lower Quality |
Note on 16th July 2010
I am amused as well as feel shocked that many surfers refer to this page.
Toilet Soaps and Shampoo manufacture is a low Technology process. If surfers feel concerned about Toilet Soaps because too many inferior / questionable products flood the market, just pause to review
Hair is still a little known, poorly researched field. To highlight, sls is the detergent in many shampoos. And it was introduced without much research - it was economical is the only discernable fact, when Cosmetic Formulations books were referred. It can stunt growth is one research in 2005
Safety: Boycott the product and the company that sells inferior, bloated products. That is an effective weapon with the Public. 3 days back, [2010] FDA of Maharashtra questioned the claim of 'extra height gain' indulged by one company. Around 1960, Cyanmide India, used to sell a height growth product with the slogan 'Goodness Growcious'. Did it work ? Regulating Authorities, hardly act in time. Did they not have the records to refer or power to demand proof for Claims ?

Toilet Bars is a Lowered quality of Toilet / Bath Soaps |
|
| This
page gives Specific published details about the lowered Quality of Toilet Soaps in India.
I feel disgusted with the cheap practices of Indian Soap Manufacturers' Association / their members as well as the Inspecting Authorities. How you react to this page contents, is your decision. About 100 Crores Indians were Duped. Refer indict lever or RUfooled to know some more products / companies that dupe us routinely, without any sense of Shame, integrity and go unquestioned. |

| What is a Soap ? | |
| Vegetable Oil is the base
Moisturiser- hidden profit
Rubbing agent in toilet / bath bars |
Soaps:
Toilet Soap is the reaction product of a vegetable oil [glyceryl fatty acids] like coconut oil
or other vegetable oils and caustic Potash - roughly 5 kgs of oil reacted with
one kg of caustic Potash / alkali gives Soap, chemically known as Potassium salt
of a long chain Fatty Acid and glycerin.
Soap is a surfactant / emulsifying agent / anionic agent, making oil mix with water and make it water dispersible / washable. When we wash our face / cloth, dirt gets dispersed in water. Glycerin is a by product in Soap manufacture. It is a moisturing agent / water holding chemical. It will lower the alkalinity of the soap and improve the transparency of the soap. Soap makers sell Glycerin separately. The raw material cost of soaps may perhaps be fully covered by glycerin The safe extender in Soap is water / moisture - about 10%. Other solid substitute / cheap / extenders in Soaps are clay, talc and such other cheap fillers / abrasives. Mutton Tallow was the cheap and convenient substitute for oils in earlier days. |
| Know these details to judge the Soap / Toilet Bar makers | |
| TFM means Total Fatty Matter. Oil and Fat are one and the same thing chemically. What is solid at 20 degrees centigrade is called Fat. It is Oil / fat which keeps the skin, supple and soft. | |
| Quality | If the Oil Content / TFM of a Soap is low, contain excess abrasives / scrubbing agents like clay, talc et cetera, to lessen cost, contain Detergents, whereas it should not, it is a low standard soap |
| Bathing Bars | Bathing Bars contain less TFM and more of these skin harming materials. Naturally they should be deemed inferior in Quality. Dove is a bathing bar. |
| Are they guilty of fooling the Public ? | |
Yes - Godrej's confession in their website |
|
| Godrej's website News release dated 16-9-1999: | |
| 'Godrej Soaps has always believed in providing its consumers with high quality products. The company has taken a conscious decision to manufacture & market only high TFM (total fatty matter) toilet soaps as against low TFM bathing bars which are being marketed by many FMCG companies in the Indian market. Godrej No.1 Sandal is, therefore, the only Sandal toilet soap in this price segment.' | |
| Read below to know what they did in 1993-1994 - Dr. Godrej was the chairman of the Association: Toilet Bars are perhaps sold more in 2010. | |
| Toilet Soap Standard - ........ Source Business World, July 13, 1993 | |
| "Even today, Soaps exported
to Russia must have at least 80% Total Fatty matter"...[ Total fatty matter
is often abbreviated as TFM in that trade ] "Girish
Mehta, director [ Management Services] of Nirma Soaps feels that Synthetic
detergents should not be used in Soap. [
Logically, it should not
be used in Shampoos also. Yet Shampoos are based on detergents - refer Shun
Shampoo ]
..The ideal TFM level, he adds, should be around 76%." . |
|
|
Many toilet soaps sold today are really toilet bars |
|
| The Indian Toilet Soap Manufacturers Association / members not only set a new lowered standard but have perpetuated it after 1993 or so | |
| They formulated Toilet Bars
- not conforming to the standards for Toilet Soaps. That is, a lowered /
lower standard toilet soaps / bath soaps. The regulating authorities, instead of taking these fellows into task, were amiable enough to set new standards as desired / dictated by these fellows [ lower standards / cheap ingredients ] |
|
| Hindustan Unilever - the major culprit - The unethical, Cheap, Trust Breakers | |||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
| TFM has been reduced by Hindustan Lever, lowering the quality of the Soaps. Lever should know that it can affect the skins of the Users - roughly 20 Crores Indians, who use these Toilet Bars of Levers. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| They did it and continue with it. That is despicable and condemnable act. refer .RUfooled and indict lever | |||||||||||||||||||||
Note on 17th July, 2010
Nearing 67, I spotted this morning, about 10 new hair in my bald forehead and on receded side lines. They all are less than 1 cm in length and are in between old hair [normal hair growth is about 1 cm/month and new hair takes 3 weeks to reach the skin surface]. So they all are new is scientific and provable.
Tips for the Top was written by me because of the cries that I heard from hairloss sufferers after my invention. It was an educative hair care book. It was kept free on this site for public benefit. The Scientific background behind Haircare / Swapna was in Tips for the Top
I am disappointed / annoyed that not many cared to learn hair care.
So, this page gets abridged or goes for a toss, effective today.
