Making Oil-Based Liquid Shower Soap and Adding Fragrance
Question
I want to make an oil-based liquid shower soap.
- Can I use Sulfate Free Shampoo Base combined with natural oils for this?
- If I add Fragrance, do I need to use a solubilizer?
Answer
Liquid Shower Soap Formulation
Regarding your questions about making a liquid shower soap:
1) Is this ingredient combination usable?
The combination of Sulfate Free Shampoo Base and natural oils to make an oil-based liquid soap is generally not suitable. The Sulfate Free Shampoo Base is designed to be mixed with water as a base for water-based cleansing products like shampoos and liquid soaps. For creating an oil-based liquid soap, the recommended product is Oil Soap.
2) If adding Fragrance, what solubilizer is needed?
When using Oil Soap to create your liquid soap, you can add fragrance or essential oils directly into the formula. A separate solubilizer is not typically required with the Oil Soap base.
To make an oil-based liquid soap, please follow the guidance provided in the staff reply and the product details for Oil Soap.
