Question

Based on the staff's recommended adjusted formula for herbal shampoo, please specify the required amounts of the following ingredients for 500g of herbal water:

  1. Cond-Foam™ (Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Liquid) at 30%
  2. Lactic Acid (AHA) 88% to adjust the pH to the range of 5-6
  3. Preservative (Phenonip® P4) at 1%

Answer

Based on the staff's reply, they recommend an adjusted formula for your herbal shampoo. They did not provide proportions for your original list of ingredients (Mild-Wash™, Coco Glucoside, Flora Foam™).

For 500g of herbal water, the staff suggests adding the following ingredients and proportions from their recommended list:

  • Cond-Foam™ (Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Liquid): 30% (which is 150g for 500g of herbal water)
  • Lactic Acid (AHA) 88%: Add to adjust the pH of the formula to be in the range of 5-6.
  • Preservative (Phenonip® P4): 1% (which is 5g for 500g of herbal water). The staff specifically recommended Phenonip® P4 at this concentration due to the potential for microbial contamination from the herbal water.
