Recommended Cold-Pressed Natural Oils for Shampoo

For shampoo formulations, several cold-pressed natural oils are popular for their nourishing and beneficial properties for the hair and scalp. Here are some recommendations from MySkinRecipes:

• Jojoba Oil (Golden - Deodorized): This oil is very similar in structure to the natural oils produced by the scalp (sebum). It helps clean the scalp, relieves dryness, itchiness, and flaking, nourishes hair roots, and prevents dry, split ends. It is well-absorbed and not greasy.
• NaturalProfile™ Sweet Almond Oil (Cold-Pressed): Rich in vitamins, it helps nourish dry and rough scalp and is used in hair care products to improve the condition of the hair.
• NaturalProfile™ Grape Seed Oil (Cold-Pressed): Helps retain moisture, contributing to moist, smooth, and soft hair.
• NaturalProfile™ Safflower Seed Oil (Cold-Pressed): Contains high Linoleic acid and vitamins, helping to retain moisture, increase elasticity, and make hair soft and smooth. It can also help with dry and rough scalp issues.
• NaturalProfile™ Borage Oil (Hi GLA, Cold-Pressed): Contains Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), which is beneficial for dry and rough skin/scalp, thinning and dull hair, and dandruff.
• NaturalProfile™ Wheat Germ Oil (Cold-Pressed): Excellent for nourishing scalp cells, preventing moisture loss, strengthening the scalp, and potentially reducing hair shedding. It also contains antioxidants.
• NaturalProfile™ Pumpkin Seed Oil (Cold-Pressed): Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids (Omega 3 & 6), it helps moisturize and keep the scalp and hair soft and smooth.
• Moringa Oil (Refined): Although refined, the description notes that cold-pressed moringa oil is used in health and beauty for its antioxidant properties. It penetrates deeply, adding nutrients and moisture to both skin and hair, making hair stronger and healthier.

These oils can be incorporated into shampoo formulations to provide conditioning, moisture, and scalp benefits. You can find links to these products below this answer.
