Hair Dyeing Shampoo Formulation

Thank you for providing the ingredient lists. Based on the ingredients you listed, it appears you are looking for a formula for a two-part hair dyeing system, which typically consists of a dye base and a developer. This is different from a simple shampoo formula as it involves chemical reactions to color the hair.

Formulating hair dye products requires careful consideration of ingredient compatibility, safety, and the desired color outcome.

We searched our product catalog for the ingredients you listed. We found several ingredients or close alternatives:

Propylene Glycol
Disodium EDTA
Ceteareth-20, which can function similarly to Cetearyl glucoside as an emulsifier.
Isopropyl Palmitate
Squalane
Cyclopentasiloxane, which is a volatile silicone often used in place of Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane.
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), which is an antioxidant and could potentially serve a similar purpose to Isoascorbic acid.
Hydrogen Peroxide Gel (15%, Stabilized)

However, key components essential for the hair dyeing process, such as specific dye precursors (like 2,4-diaminophenoxyethanol and Resorcinol) and the primary alkalizing agent (Ammonium hydroxide), were not found in our current product selection. Phosphoric acid, used in the developer, was also not found.

Without these critical dyeing ingredients, it is not possible to provide a complete and functional hair dyeing formula from the available products. The percentages of ingredients in hair dye are highly dependent on the specific dyes used and the desired color, and require precise formulation for safety and effectiveness.

For safe and reliable hair coloring, it is generally recommended to use commercially available hair dye products which are professionally formulated and tested. If you are interested in developing hair dye products, it is advisable to consult with a cosmetic chemist specializing in hair color formulations who can guide you on sourcing appropriate ingredients and developing safe and effective formulas.
