Procedure

Use proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling glycolic acid. Add phase A to main vessel. Heat to 60°C with moderate mixing. Add phase B to phase A and heat to 68°C. Mix until dissolved. Add phase C in a separate vessel. In a third vessel, create phase D by neutralizing GlyAcid 70 with sodium hydroxide 30% solution to pH 7.0 to 8.0. Add phase D to phase C. Add phase CD to phase AB slowly to avoid forming large clumps of soap. Disperse titanium dioxide into water to form phase E and add to phase ABCD. Mix until homogeneous. Let vessel stand for one hour at 68°C. Test pH with a 10% solution. When pH is confirmed, pour into soap molds and allow to sit undisturbed for 24 hours before use.

Properties

pH (10% sol.)—9 to 10; Viscosity—N/A.
