what is ethylhexylglycerin?

It is a preservative enhancer and Im thinking that no its not organic or natural. Most preservativs are not.\n\nThis is from:http://www.happi.com/current/May033.htm\nAnd the way the are talking they dont sound responsible. "the world is becoming increasingly obsessed with formaldehyde free preservatives"/ Hmm, gee I wonder why? Silly world...lol. Its called the preservative market update. You may find it interesting.\n\n(see near eye on page)\n"For more difficult-to preserve systems, SensivaSC 50 (ethylhexylglycerin) has proven to be an effective preservative enhancer. It is also globally approved (including Japan) and boosts the activity of preservatives in formulas that require a little extra strength."\n\nApparently Japan is much more vigilant about what preservatives they allow.

Propylene glycol (CH3CHOHCH2OH) is used as an additive to liquid soap mixtures.  It is not usually used in making the soap itself.  It generally is added at anywhere from one (1) to five (5) percent of the product, but some contain as high as ten (10) percent.\n\nIt is manufactured commercially by the hydration of propylene oxide which comes from petroleum refining.  It is not usually made from glycerin.\n\nWhat you would need to do is prepare a soap (like sodium stearate) and disolve this in water and add the propylene glycol to this mixture to make "liquid soap."

PEG is polyethyleneglycol, also known as PEO or polyethylene oxide.  It is a water soluble polymer used for many things including drug delivery.  66 refers to it's molecular wieght, which could be 66 repeat units or 66 kg /mol

Triglycerides.\n\nNucleotides, Amino acids and Carbohydrates are soluble in water, and can thus not be hydrophobic by definition.

its a wax:\nWaxes have a fatty acid bonded to a longchain alcohol by the oxygen and is a two part chain with a double bonded o to the fatty acid\n\nFats have a glycerol backbone with three fatty acid chains attached which is clearly not this one\n\nOils are same as fats in that they have glycerol backbone and serves like fat in the sense that fat:animals::oil:plants\n\nSoap... idk whats up with that answer but i know that old time soap was made from some sort of fat and now they are process differently with different material. no matter what, it does not have the right chemical make up

Glycerin, also well known as glycerine and glycerol, and less commonly as 1,2,3-propanetriol, 1,2,3-trihydroxypropane, glyceritol, and glycyl alcohol is a colorless, odorless, hygroscopic, and sweet-tasting viscous liquid. Glycerin is a sugar alcohol and has three hydrophilic alcoholic hydroxyl groups (-OH) that are responsible for its solubility in water. Glycerin is prochiral. Glycerin is used in glycerin soap, in cosmetics and creams, in foods, in chemistry, and in glycerin Fog machine mist. Glycerin is produced from dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) by the enzyme glycerol three-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gpd p) in the mitochondrion of the eukaryotic cell during glycolysis

Biodiesel is a vegetable (soy, rape seed, palm) or animal oil (lard or tallow) that has been chemically treated with alcohol (ethyl or methyl) to form an ester. \nA ton of biodiesel would need about 960 kg of oil. The rest of the mass would come from the alcohol.

what kind of soap are you making? glycerin?

The ethoxide ion. By the positive inductive effect, the alkyl group releases electrons to the O- portion of the ion. Remembering that bases are proton acceptors, it is easy to see that the greater negative charge will make it easier to accept the proton.

HELLO Amina,\nGlycerols are actually a sort of derived lipids obtained by hydrolysis of fats with water at high temperatures and pressures. it is in fact a trihydroxy alcohol, which is sweet and viscous. It forms esters like Triacyl glycerols(TGs) or Diacyl Glucerols or Monoacyl Glycerols  (or otherwise called Tri Glycerides) with fatty acids and phosphates. TGs are neutral fats, which, like cholesterol form the fat content of the body. These TGs get oxidized inside the mitochondria of cells  in the absence  (or scarcity) of glucose and act as a source of energy during starvation or dieting. Glycerol esters of higher fatty acids remain solid in room temperature and examples of such TGs include various vegetable oils. \nFatty acid esters with phosphate groups(PO4=) can form phosphoglycerides when they contain glycerol as the alcohol. Such compounds are important as protectors of the nervous tissue. Egs include phosphatidyl choline, and Lecithin. The last one is also present in Heart and liver..\nOoohhh that was a pretty long answer. \nHope I didn't get too technical and i suppose iwas clear on the topic,\nSo long then..

Chemically, a wax may be an ester of ethylene glycol (ethane 1,2-diol) and two fatty acids, as opposed to a fat which is an ester of glycerin (propane 1,2,3-triol) and three fatty acids. It is a type of lipid.

That is an IUPAC name, although it is an unspecified stereochemistry (the 2 and 3 positions can each be either R or S).\n\nThe trivial name for hexanoic acid is caproic acid.
