Ingredients

  • Purified Water
  • Sodium Laureth Sulfate
  • Cocamidopropyl Betaine
  • Cocamide DEA
  • Polyquaternium-10
  • Citric Acid
  • Sorbic Acid
  • Hydroxymethylglycinate

Special Note

Lemongrass essential oil may give the shampoo a soft pink tint. This is purely aesthetic and does not affect performance.

Best Practices for Customization

  • Complement Hair Types: Choose scents that align with the shampoo’s function, such as tea tree for clarifying, lavender for soothing, or citrus for energizing.
  • Balance Strength: Opt for fragrances that provide a pleasant, long-lasting scent without becoming overpowering.
  • Essential Oils vs. Fragrance Oils: Essential oils offer natural benefits, while fragrance oils provide broader scent options and better longevity.
  • Do not add carrier oils or 3% essential oils in Jojoba to this Shampoo as they
    can ruin detergent based products.

Adjusting Viscosity and Pumpability

This shampoo base has a naturally thick viscosity. If you prefer a lighter, more pumpable consistency, it can be adjusted without compromising performance.

To Thin the Base

Add 3–10% distilled water, mixing gently to combine.
Start low and increase only if needed.
This creates a smoother flow while maintaining cleansing ability and foam.

How Fragrances and Essential Oils Affect Thickness

Viscosity can change depending on the scent you add:

  • Some oils thicken the base (vanilla, spice, some florals)
  • .Others thin it dramatically (many citrus oils, mint, and light top-note blends).

This is normal and depends on the chemistry of the scent.

If Your Base Becomes Too Thick

  • Add small amounts of distilled water (3–5% at a time)
  • Mix slowly
  • Allow the product to settle for 24 hours to reach its final viscosity

If Your Base Becomes Too Thin

If your fragrance oil thins the base more than expected, you can correct it:

  • Prepare a salt solution:
    1 tsp table salt dissolved into 100mL warm distilled water
  • Add 1–2mL at a time
  • Stir gently and allow it to develop for several hours
    Salt helps restore thickness without affecting performance.

Fragrance Usage

For best results, use 0.5–1% fragrance or essential oil.
Allow 12–24 hours for the shampoo to stabilise before assessing thickness.
