In this formula, about 3.8% of the fatty acids are neutralized. If more (20-30% fatty acids) to be neutralized, stronger emulsifiers are to be used. There are many types of emulsifiers : Sodium Hydroxide gives a harder cream. Potassium Hydroxide gives softer cream & plenty of sheen. Borax gives a white cream, but tends to grain. Ammonium Hydroxide produces a soft cream, but is unpleasant to the employees and causes discolouration (light, air, fragrance). Triethanolamine gives a very soft cream with high sheen (Sod. Hydroxide may correct it). Also causes discolouration of the cream on long standing (metallic contamination, fragrance, light). Isopropanolamines produce soft creams without any chance of discolouration.
