Organic Shampoo Formulations

For organic shampoo formulations, you can start with a gentle, natural-based cleansing system.

• Base Options:
  • Consider using a pre-made base like SweetWash™ Hair, which is designed for shampoos.
  • Alternatively, you can create a base using natural surfactants like Potassium Cocoate (30%) or a gentle, soap-free option like Clear Soap Bar (Amino Acids Based, pH 5-6, Soap-Free).
