Abstract
A process for extracting a natural surfactant includes the steps of providing a quantity of water, adding in a quantity of seaweed to the water resulting in a process medium, adding an enzyme solution to the process medium, and extracting the natural surfactant from the seaweed. The natural surfactant or kelp extract is then used in the formulation of many cleaning solutions.
