Dettol Mildly Medicated Original Soap

Product Introduction:

Dettol Mildly Medicated Original Soap with original fragrance protects and cares for your family. It gently cleans and helps protect you from a wide range of unseen germs.

Dettol is one of those chemicals which we instantly recognise by its distinctive smell. It is an aromatic compound derived from phenol, which contains a significant chlorine atom, helping us in our continuous fight against unwanted bacteria. Dettol commercially available as an inexpensively liquid antiseptic which is safe and gentle enough to use on the skin and yet powerful enough to also use as a disinfectant. This is because of its broad spectrum of antimicrobial action. Dettol is a very good way to disrupt a bacterial cells membrane potential, drastically affecting its ability to produce ATP and thus leading to its rapid death.

The advantage is low toxicity, low metal corrosivity, slightly soluble in water and has a good solubility in alcohols and pine oils. Hygienically clean and refreshed, use Dettol Mildly Mediated Original Soap.

Product ingredients and functionality:

1. Sodium Palmate: Sodium palmate is the main ingredient in many types of Soap, and is made by reacting Palm Oil with Lye, in a process known as Saponification.

2. Water : It dissolves all the organic chemical substances.

3. Palm Kernal Acid: CH3(CH2)14COOH or hexadecanoic acid in IUPAC nomenclature, is one of the most common saturated fatty acids found in animals and plants. As its name indicates, it is a major component of the oil from palm trees (palm oil and palm kernel oil). The word palmitic is from the French "palmitique", the pith of the palm tree. Palmitic acid was discovered by Edmond Frémy in 1840, in saponified palm oil. Butter, cheese, soap, milk and meat also contain this fatty acid.

4. Palm Acid: Palm oil is an edible plant oil derived from the fruit of the Arecaceae Elaeis oil palm. It is an important component of many soaps, washing powders and personal care products, is used to treat wounds.

5. Glycerin: In industrial soap-making, the glycerin is then usually removed to be used in skin creams and more expensive soap products. Most brands of common bar soap leave the skin dry after washing because of this, while shaving soaps and moisturizers are valued for softening skin, largely through their high glycerin content.

6. Sodium Chloride: Sodium chloride, also known as common salt, table salt, or halite, is a chemical compound with the formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. As the major ingredient in edible salt, it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative.

7. Etidronic Acid: Etidronic acid is a chelating agent and may be added to bind or, to some extent, counter the effects of substances, such as arsenic, iron, or other metal ions (that can occur in the presence of some soaps), which may be discharged as a component of grey wastewater and could conceivably contaminate groundwater supplies. Etidronic acid also acts to retard rancidification and oxidation of fatty acids. While etidronic acid has not been limited from inclusion in cosmetics and does have legitimate uses, it is recommended that, as with most cosmetic products (particularly soaps), the product should be thoroughly rinsed from the skin after use. Etidronic acid is also included among swimming pool chemicals. It is used as a stain inhibitor to prevent metal ions coming out of solution and staining the sides of swimming pools.

8. Tetrasodium EDTA: Tetrasodium EDTA is a chelating agent that sequesters metals that the bacteria require in order to grow. Other microbes also require metals and so it is actually an anti-microbial agent that is widely used even as a preservative. It appears to be fairly harmless in the environment.

9. Talc: Soapstone (also known as steatite or soaprock) is a metamorphic rock, a talc schist. It is largely composed of the mineral talc and is rich in magnesium. It is produced by dynamothermal metamorphism and metasomatism, which occurs at the areas where tectonic plates are subducted, changing rocks by heat and pressure, with influx of fluids, but without melting. It has been a medium for carving for thousands of years.

10. Parfum: Parfum or Perfume oil is necessarily diluted with a solvent because undiluted oils (natural or synthetic) contain high concentrations of chemical components (natural or otherwise) that will likely result in allergic reactions and possibly injury when applied directly to skin or clothing. As well, the scents in pure perfume oils are far too concentrated to smell pleasant.

11. Chloroxylenol: Chloroxylenol (4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol) is a chemical compound with the formula C8H9ClO and CAS number 88-04-0. It is commonly used in antibacterial soaps such as Dettol; in agar patch studies, it has been found to kill a wide variety of microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and the superbug MRSA, within 15 seconds. Its antibacterial action is due to disruption of cell membrane potentials, blocking production of adenosine triphosphate (effectively starving the cells).Chloroxylenol is not significantly toxic to humans and other mammals but is toxic to fish. It is a mild skin irritant and may trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. In a 125 ml bottle of Dettol, there is usually 48 mg/mL (4.8% W/V) of Chloroxylenol in the solution.Sulfonate

12. Sodium lauretho sulfate: Sulfonate Sodium lauretho sulfate or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), is a detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc.). It is an inexpensive and very effective foaming agent.

13. Titanium Dioxide: In cosmetic and skin care products, titanium dioxide is used both as a pigment and a thickener. It is also used as a tattoo pigment and styptic pencils. This pigment is used extensively in plastics and other applications for its UV resistant properties where it acts as a UV absorber, efficiently transforming destructive UV light energy into heat.
