Formulating Shampoo with Argan Oil
Question
I would like a simple formulation for a shampoo that includes Argan Oil. I understand from the staff's reply that the benefits of adding Argan Oil to a wash-off product like shampoo might be limited due to the cleansing process, but I would still like to try. I am particularly interested in using a gentle cleansing base, such as a Sulfate Free Shampoo Base. Could you provide a basic formula and instructions?
Answer
