Cream shampoo for dry hair

Formula: 4182

Sanitize the dedicated containers and utensils you will work with, details in the general safety guidelines.

Preparation method:
The ingredients of phases A and B are put in two separate Berzelius beakers (for phase A a large glass of at least 250 ml must be used).
Place the glasses in a water bath and heat until both reach a temperature of 70°C, stirring occasionally.

Add phase B over phase A, slowly but in a single motion, meanwhile the mixer should already work in the composition of phase A. Mix for 3 minutes. Avoid excessive aeration and foaming during mixing. If the mixer no longer copes, switch to manual homogenization.
To accelerate the cooling process, place the composition over a bowl of cold water and continue to stir manually for 3 more minutes.

To the composition cooled to body temperature, add the Cocamidopropyl betaine powder, mix slowly and leave to rest for a few minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients from phase C, one at a time, mixing after each one. The shampoo thus prepared is transferred to the dedicated container. pH: 5,5-6

The result is a creamy, “low poo” shampoo, formulated with a fairly high percentage of vegetable oil and a conditioning agent with the function of emulsifier and conditioner. It is suitable for dry or rough hair and dry or normal scalp. Foams moderately and is not stripping. 

Options and explanations:

• instead of avocado oil you can use another vegetable oil suitable for hair care, such as argan oil, broccoli seed oil (maximum 10%)
• instead of the fragrance oil recommended in the recipe, you can use another fragrance, aromatic extract or essential oil
• instead of the flat water you can use a floral water, for example: chamomile, melisa, neroli etc.
