Product Description
Multipurpose Soap Noodles (Swing), also known as soap chips or soap base noodles, are the basic raw materials used in the production of soap bars. They are an essential component in the soap-making process. These noodles are versatile and serve as a starting point for creating various types of soaps with different formulations, scents, and colors.
Multipurpose Soap Noodle manufacturing process involves saponifying fats or oils with an alkali to produce soap. The resulting soap is then dried and formed into small, solid pieces or noodles, which can be melted, combined with other ingredients, and molded into the final soap bars.

3. Aromatherapy soap: Essential oils, fragrances, and various herbal additives can be mixed with soap noodles to create aromatherapy or herbal soaps.
4. Medicated soap: To produce medicated soaps with specific properties, additional ingredients like anti-bacterial agents or skin-soothing additives can be incorporated.
5. Exfoliating soap: Soap noodles can be combined with natural exfoliants like oatmeal, coffee grounds, or crushed seeds to create exfoliating soaps.
6. Moisturizing soap: Adding ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, or oils to soap noodles enhances the moisturizing capabilities of the resulting soap.
7. Antifungal or antibacterial soap: Soap noodles can be combined with specific additives to create soaps with antifungal or antibacterial properties.
