Toilet Soap, under IS 2888:2004, refers to a cosmetic cleansing product intended for personal hygiene. This standard applies to soap formulations in solid form, primarily composed of fatty acid salts derived from natural oils or fats. Toilet soaps are graded based on Total Fatty Matter (TFM) content and classified into Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3, where Grade 1 represents the highest quality.
Toilet soaps are used for cleaning the skin and are expected to be:
Free from harmful substances and grit
Smooth, uniform, and pleasant-smelling
Non-irritant and safe for daily use
Biodegradable and environmentally safe
Testing of Toilet Soap as per IS 2888:2004 ensures that the product meets the required quality, performance, and safety standards, and is suitable for human use and skin compatibility.
