Naturally derived SCS-CAB, Cocoglucoside ET, and Coco SilkyCleanse give this shampoo excellent foam characteristics with gentle cleansing. PEG 7 Glyceryl Cocoate offers light conditioning and also functions as a solubilizer for fragrance oils. Liquid Crothix provides easy thickening as well as conditioning. Silk Amino Acids smooth and protect the hair cuticle. Wasabi Extract serves as an antioxidant in this formula. This elegant formula is one of The Herbarie favorites.

Tips for shampoo/body wash:
-melt/dissolve ALL solids
-pay attention to pH of finished product and make sure it is around 5.5 – 6.5
-pH can effect viscosity
-fragrance oils WILL effect the formulation
-essential oils that seem to be most compatible with shampoo/body wash: geranium, peppermint, rose, sandalwood, rosemary, clary sage, myrtle, lavender, lemongrass
-solubilizers such as AquaEm, Cromollient SCE, and PEG 7 Glyceryl Cocoate will help to lessen the negative impact of fragrance oils and essential oils on surfactant based systems.
-Use more or less Liquid Crothix as needed for thickening
