Among the contents of liquid soaps used are synthetic substances such as surfactants (sodiumlaurethsulfate=SLES, cocoamides), formaldehyde (stabilize), citric acid (pH adjuster), stynthetic colorants, odorants and antimicrobials. Harmful effects of these substances have been determined scientifically. Nevertheless, they are preferred because of the cost efficient-high production avidity. We aimed to search the feasibility of the usage of sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) extract, a known condiment, in coloring, pH adjusting, stabilizing and antimicrobial effects. So that we prepared a cost effective base soapsing SLES, Cocoamide, trace amount of NaCl, grounded sumac seed extract and boiled water. We found the ratio of the appendable extract amount by experiment series, without losing the standard soap character. Related parameters of final product were evaluated.As a result, sumac extract has potential to make harmless liquid soap.
