Answer

Clear Shampoo Formula for Resale

Here are a couple of options for creating a clear shampoo using bases available in the store, focusing on good quality and suitability for resale:

Option 1: Using Sulfate Free Shampoo Base (pH 7, Clear, Foaming)

This base (Sulfate Free Shampoo Base) is a good starting point for a clear, sulfate-free shampoo with good foaming properties. A basic formula could be:

  • Sulfate Free Shampoo Base: 30%
  • Distilled Water: 66%
  • Preservative: 1%

To adjust the viscosity and make the shampoo thicker, you can add salt (Sodium Chloride) gradually at around 0.5-1.5%, stirring gently until dissolved. Alternatively, you can use a thickener like ClearClean™ for excellent clarity and viscosity.

Option 2: Using Sulfate-Free Foaming Base (pH 6, Clear, Foaming)

Another excellent sulfate-free option is the Sulfate-Free Foaming Base. It also provides good foam and a clear texture. You can use it at a similar percentage (e.g., 30-35%) mixed with distilled water and a preservative. To thicken this base, ClearClean™ is a suitable choice for maintaining clarity.

Additional Ingredients

Once you have the basic shampoo, you can enhance it by adding:

  • Fragrance (ensure it is compatible with the base)
  • Color (water-soluble)
  • Conditioning agents (e.g., Poly-Conditioner Eco, Guar Cationic) for smoother hair
  • Nourishing extracts or vitamins

Important Notes

  • Always test your formula in a small batch first.
  • Ensure all added ingredients are compatible and do not affect the clarity or stability of the shampoo.
  • Adjust the pH if necessary to be in the optimal range for the chosen base (check product descriptions).

Both Sulfate Free Shampoo Base and Sulfate-Free Foaming Base, combined with a suitable thickener like ClearClean™, can help you create a good quality, clear shampoo suitable for resale.
