    My only experience is with your option “C: 0.5% sodium soap of vegetable oil.” For about 20 years I manufactured and exported a cleanser made from saponified plant oils. But it very much depends on what plant oils you are saponifying, and how they are saponified. With our cleaning products, I spent two years perfecting the saponification process with lots of trials of the test batches before we went into full production in our two factories.
