Ingredients for 100 ml shampoo

• Phase 1
  • 67 g Mineral water
  • 8 g Inulin
• Phase 2
  • 2 g Vegetable Glycerin
• Phase 3
  • 1 g Xanthan Gum
• Phase 4
  • 5 g Sodium Coco
• Phase 5
  • 15 g Vegetable Mousse
  • 1 g or 40 drops of essential oils* (according to your needs)
• Phase 6
  • 0.3 g Citric acid

Preparation

1. Phase 1: Weigh the mineral water in a beaker. In a separate dish, weigh out the inulin and sprinkle it into the water, stirring with an emulsifying mixer to dissolve.
2. Phase 2: Add the vegetable glycerin and mix with a spatula.
3. Phase 3: Weigh out the xanthan gum in a bowl and sprinkle it into the beaker, stirring with an emulsifying mixer until completely solubilized.
4. Phase 4: Put on a mask and add the Sodium Coco to the mixture. Heat in a bain-marie to 40°C. Mix with a spatula or emulsifying beater until the Sodium Coco has melted. Leave to cool to room temperature.
5. Phase 5: In another beaker, weigh out the vegetable foam and add the essential oils of your choice. Mix with a spatula, then add this mixture to the previous phase (phases 1 to 4). Mix well with a spatula.
6. Phase 6: Check the pH (around 11 due to the vegetable foam) and gradually add citric acid (0.3-0.4 g) to adjust the pH to between 5 and 7. The mixture will become transparent.
7. Add Geogard preservative and mix with a spatula.
8. Leave the shampoo to settle for about 1 hour, then dispense into a clean pump bottle.
