A soap molecule consists of two dissimilar ends, one is a hydrophilic end (polar head) which binds with water and another is hydrophobic end (non-polar hydrocarbon tail) that binds with oil. The soap is prepared by the saponification process, in which the oil reacts with triglycerides and lye (NaOH). Oils with different properties make them unique from each other as the composition of fatty acids is incompatible. In the present study, an attempt is made to review the manufacturing process of soaps, with different types of oils i.e., coconut oil, palm oil, castor oil, olive oil and ghee oil and with different processes involved. By the knowledge gained through the literature survey, soap was synthesized at home. Soap samples were home prepared by mixing caustic soda, distilled water, cold pressed coconut oil. To enhance the quality parameters controlled quantity of fragrances and colours were added to the samples.
