Abstract:

The handmade soap was prepared with the cold process using olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil and beeswax as soap base and polysaccharide of Corni Fructus as the functional component. The properties, antibacterial activity and safety of the soap were evaluated. The optimized proportions of coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil and beeswax were 25%, 25%, 45% and 5%, together with that of Corni Fructus polysaccharide being 1%. The indexes such as the total free base, free caustic alkali, water content and volatile oil were all consistent with the Chinese standards, and it was not irritant to the skin or eyes of rabbits. The results show that such handmade soap containing Corni Fructus polysaccharide is safe and nonirritating, which provides a scientific basis for utilization of the Corni Fructus.

Key words: handmade soap, polysaccharide of Corni Fructus, preparation process, safety evaluation
