Hi! I just found this interesting forum and since I'm very new in the cosmetics making industry I would like to please see if anyone can help me?
I'm very interested in creating both a liquid soap that isn't runny or watery, as well as a shampoo that works well for most hairtypes. I just have no idea where to start, after receiving all the ingredients I feel quite overwhelmed and since I'm lacking experience I just need to see what you guys would do if you had these ingredients to play with:
So this is what I have right now:
African black soap (liquid) from Coastal Scents
Castile soap (liquid) from Soapkitchenonline.co.uk
Cocoa butter
Shea butter
Tacuma butter
Illipe butter
Dried neem leaves
Dried calendula flowers
Coconut oil
Castor oil
Sweet almond oil
Apricot kernel oil
Jojoba oil
Grapeseed oil
Peppermint essential oil
Rosemary essential oil
Emulsifying wax
Yucca root powder
Xanthan gum
Arrowroot powder
Liquid aloe vera (very runny, not a gel)
Optiphen preservative
Vitamin E in sweet almond carrier
Is there anything I can do with these ingredients that won't leave a greasy residue nor dry hair and skin?
Thank you all for your help, greetings from Sweden!
