Abstract
When one says about healthcare and wellness about external body care, we immediately think of soaps. Washing our hand/body has always been one of most effective ways of keeping diseases at bay. It is a simple act that pays in dividends when it comes to keeping ourselves healthy and safe. Total fatty Matter is one of the most important characteristics describing the quality of soaps and it is specified in commercial transactions. Higher TFM ensures that soaps are least harmful to the skin and do not cause dryness. The current study indented to determine the total fatty matter of soaps, and to identify the soaps which have high total fatty matter. The obtained results showed variations in many cases, from that of the declared TFM on the labels of popular soap brands. So these soaps should improve their production process and make additional checks on the raw materials and additives which make these soaps unsatisfactory for use.
