The Production Of House Hold Cosmetics, Include’s: Shoe Polish, Bar Soap And Bleach

1.1 Bar Soap: Clearing agent or detergent, made from animal and vegetable fats, oils and greases, chemically, the sodium or potassium salt of a fatty acid, formed by the interaction of fats and oils with alkali.

1.2 Shoe Polish: usually a waxy paste or a cream, is a consumer product used to polish, shine, water proof and restore the appearance of leather shoes or boots, there by extending the foot wear’s life. In some regions including New Zealand. “Nuggest” is used as a common term for solid waxy shoe polish, as opposed to liquid shoe polishes.

1.3 Bleach: Sodium hypochlorite is a chemical compound with the formular Nacl. Sodium hypochlorite solution, commonly known as bleach, is frequently used as a disinfectant or a bleaching agent.

1.4 purpose of the Study

i. The purpose of this study is to provide the students ability and technical, to know how to produce some day to day uses of house hold cosmetics.

ii. To equip the graduate of college of education, to be self reliant and self sufficient even as graduate and undergraduate.

iii. To create avenue for the graduates of chemistry student, from College of Education, further than student in analytical and industrial chemistry. Intriguing the man to carrying out research in the field, also to entice secondary school leaves to enter the field of chemistry.

1.5 Statement of Problem

Both individual and industrial, small and large scale producers of cosmetics have been found to be successful but not much impact is felt amongst the chemistry students in most colleges of education, who in the cause of their studies have learnt about these cosmetics. They harm also learned about their properties, functions and proportion of existence theoretically. Nevertheless cannot prove the knowledge in the aspect of the production practical.

It is general, agreed that the chemistry student with back-ground knowledge of chemical reactivity should be able to produce some of these product officiously.
