Steaming My Stetson Open Road

Shampoo Liquid CITRUS

I continue to test the TA Plantacare sold by Soap Opera. Following
my first test, I deleted the Plantacare 1200up I did not like the smell of him and shot back the amount of xanthan gum (a bit too much).
So I kept only 2 TA: the punch Plantacare coconut and 2000. The Plantacare coconut punch seems a vital therefore that we I would like to integrate as oil in our shampoo without risk of phase separation or loss of foam ... It also has conditioning properties. The Plantacare 2000, marketed under the smoothness of coconut in my Soap Opera, is also at Aroma-Zone (more expensive though) foam under the name of sugar. TA is a mild but provides a rich lather.

This shampoo contains lemon scent:

Phase A:
- 50g-Decyl glucoside (Plantacare 2000) 25%
- 30g Coco-glucoside (coconut Plantacare punch) or 15%

Phase B:
- Glycerine 10g (5%)
- 2g xanthan gum (1%)
- 81g Water (40.5%)
- 3.8 g citric acid (1.9%)

Phase C:
- 20g jojoba (10%)
- 1g (35 drops) Grapefruit ET (0.5%)
- 1g (35 drops ) HE Litsée Lemon (0.5%)
- 1.2 g (42 drops) Cosgard (0.6%)

I separately prepared phases A and B (cold, simply by mixing the ingredients together in the order listed) before mixing them together and add phase C.
I got a pH between 4.5 and 5.
The shampoo is quite viscous, the next move I will test a dosage of xanthan gum around 0.7% of history make it a little more fluid. Otherwise the smell is tip-top ...

Because the choice of HE, this shampoo is intended rather to hair that tend to re-grease and / or fall.

Costing: less than 2.25 € for 200g (and even less if you buy the TA in one liter).
