Preparation method:
In a glass, add the gentle washing base and the Coco-glucoside and Glyceryl oleate and mix slowly, thoroughly, until it thickens. Add to this mixture the Lauryl glucoside, which must be fluid and translucent (if it is hardened and whitish, it will be liquefied beforehand in a hot water bath until it becomes fluid and translucent).

Add the water, little by little, stirring slowly and thoroughly. Then add the rest of the ingredients, in the given order, mixing after each one. The resulting composition is transferred to the dedicated container. The foam will recede the next day.

An invigorating shower gel with a fresh and comforting scent, suitable for women and men alike.

Options:

for a moisturizing effect, the solution can include approximately 15 g of glycerin, instead of some of the flat water
it is advisable to measure the pH level at the end, and if it is higher than 7.5, to adjust it with a little lactic acid or citric acid
instead of the essential oils given in the recipe, others can be used, depending on their properties and preferences; you can also work with aromatic extracts (pineapple, melon, apricot)
