Sulfate-Free Herbal Baby Shampoo Formula

1. Sulfate Free No-Tear Shampoo Base (pH 6, Clear, Foaming) 25% Gentle cleansing base (No-tear)
2. Distilled Water 65.5% Solvent
3. Chamomile Water (Anthemis Nobilis) 5% Soothing herbal water
4. Aloe Vera Extract (extraction ratio 10:1 FullAssay™) 2% Moisturizing and soothing

6. SugarThick™ (PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate) 1% Thickener (adjust as needed)

Alternative Base

Mixing Instructions

  1. Mix the Distilled Water and Chamomile Water together.

  4. Add Mild Preserved Eco™ to preserve the formula.
  5. Finally, add SugarThick™ to adjust the viscosity. (Note: SugarThick™ should be warmed to 50-60°C until it becomes liquid before adding it to the formula to ensure it dissolves easily).
