1. Reserve a small portion of the water from Part A. Add GuarSilk and mix well. Set aside and hydrate for at least 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients – continue to stir periodically.
2. Combine the remainder of the ingredients in Part A and heat until all ingredients are melted. SCI Flake may take a while to disperse/melt. It may be helpful to use a double boiler.
3. Add Hydrated GuarSilk to the melted/dissolved ingredients in Part A. Mix gently.
4. Cool to 50C/122F or less. Add Part B - dl Panthenol, Liquid Germall Plus. Add fragrance or essential oil if desired.

Notes:

• SCI Flake is not very water soluble – other surfactants are required for melting/dissolving in water as we have indicated in the formula above.
• Fragrance and some essential oils can disrupt shampoo and body wash systems. A solublizier such as AquaEm, CocoEm WS can be used to “help” the eo/fo into the solution. Mix the solubilizer with fo/eo first, then add to the finished shampoo/body wash. In this formula, try substituting all or part of the 5% Olive Oil PEG 7 Esters with one of the suggested solubilizers.
• Some solubilizers/emulsifiers and glycerin can “thin out” shampoo/body wash – this can be good or bad!
