Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The main objective is to optimize my existing formula….. It cleans, but how well? ….. I’m not a chemist but a novice soap maker….. Does it need a high PH of alkaline or an Acid PH to dissolve and remove above mentioned contamination….. My product is safe but how safe? Does it rinse clean or leave residue …..what preservatives do I need to use for the appropriate PH …..

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
  1. Determine most effective PH …. Acid or allkaline for dissolving and removal
  2. I would provide three formulations all different strengths of water dilution to see if low level dilution is just as effective as highest diluted one…
  3. Check safety of product by closely examining combinations of the known safe ingredients
  4. Using microscopes how good is its rinseability
  5. What preserving compound/ additive should I use for the optimized PH? I need to prevent hydrolysis of ingredients so my surfactants stay bubbly with as long shelf life will that a preservative will allow
  6. UPON DISCOVERY OF ITEMS 1-5, SHOULD RAWSPA BE REFORMULATED? What would you change?????
How will you support learners in completing the project?

Unfortunately I have no tools or testing devices of science to use or lend.. I can provide formulation and samples for testing
