Abstract
The quality of soaps depends on their physicochemical properties. We can determine the competency and cleaning properties of soaps by knowing the physicochemical properties. The quality of the soaps remains indistict that are sold in the local markets of Bangladesh and thus the need to assess them. Nine commercial soaps were taken for moisture content, total alkali, total fat substance, free caustic alkaly and pH according to documented methods of analysis. Values of moisture content ranged between 9.64% to 21.06%, total alkali ranged between 0.00% to 6.20%, free caustic alkali was found between 0.00% to 0.99%, total fat substance was found between 68.33% to 100%, pH for 5% solution ranged between 9.69 to 10.13 and pH for 10% solution ranged between 9.63 to 10.32.
