In Soapmaking Faierie
Hi all,
One of the first reasons i got into soapmaking was to make my own shampoo bars.
Somehow got derailed from that objective as i got the soapmaking bug and can't stop trying things out for new recipes...but want to start seriously thinking about it.
My issue is that locally not so many oils are available, and my challenge is to use only locally available and produced raw products.
My issue is that for the moment only coconut oil is available...i could go into producing castor oil at small scale but not yet in a position to do so.
I've got my additives worked out - want to work with bananas,peanuts (oil or butter???) , coffee and oil infusions as well as (local) herbal juices known to be locally used for haircare ( instead of shampoo) but .... Is a 100% non oil stripping coconut oil shampoo bar is possible?
All the recipe i come accross use several types of oils... i've researched on the subject but have found nothing so far. Any input on this welcome !
D.
PS. should probably add that this shampoo bar is meant for frizzy/nappy hair.
