Instructions

This shampoo may be made in a single stove top or microwave safe vessel.

  1. Measure your purified (preferably distilled water) into a clean container and add your Lamesoft, Honey, and Potassium Sorbate. Heat the water up just enough to completely liquefy all the ingredients. 
  2. Add  lactic acid and Purefactant™ and mix will by hand. Do not use a whipping blender as you do not want to incorporate air into your product.
  3. Decant into a clean container.


Notes: If you want to make a liter (2.2 lbs) of shampoo/wash multiply each ingredient by 10. For example you would need 350 grams of Purefactant™ or 5 grams of Naturaguard™. If you do not have a scale it is reasonably safe to convert these weights to volumes as all the ingredients are safe and will not harm you if you go a bit over or under for each.
