Make Your Own Naturally Balanced Shampoo Bars
E-BOOK - INSTANT DOWNLOAD !
Shampoo bars are all the rage and for good reason. Not only are they easy to make, sustainable, and can be tailored to a variety of preferences, but solid shampoo is long lasting and doesn’t require expensive (or any!) packaging.
Not only are they perfect for travel (because they are free of liquids), shampoo bars are also extremely effective, practical, and gentle on the scalp.
What’s not to love?
The LisaLise Guide to Naturally Balanced Solid Shampoo is a 70 page e-book that shows you how to make your own naturally balanced shampoo bars and contains 7 unique tried and tested formulas developed to help you achieve a successful result every time.
pH Balanced and Preservative Free
Every formula is pH balanced to be scalp friendly and even though these solid shampoo bars are preservative free, they have a shelf life of at least 6 months after first use. Before use, the shelf life is even longer.
Whether you are new to cosmetics making or a practiced artisan, this book will not only guide you through the entire process, but also offers options for personalization. You can make each formula as is, or add your own personal touch by substituting ingredients without compromising pH, shelf life, or function.
Each formula is a full 4 pages long to give you a complete step by step instruction, inspirational photos, suggested ingredient substitutions, product overview for hair type, shelf life, drying/hardening time and pH along with a full page of notes and tips for each formula.
There’s also a section about pH and why it matters for hair products.
You’ll also find information about surfactants, butters and a section with descriptions and useful information about the hair and scalp-friendly botanicals in these formulas.
Something for Everyone
The LisaLise Guide to Naturally Balanced Solid Shampoo includes something for almost every taste, scalp type, and personal preference.
The Ayurvedic shampoo bars feature all natural saponins for an ultra gentle pampering cleanse. The conditioning shampoo bars are formulated to include an all natural conditioner for double-duty hair cleansing and conditioning.
The scalp stimulating shampoo bars include hair-loving botanicals to help stimulate, strengthen and provide the scalp with beneficial nutrients, while the African Rose bars (featured on the cover) include a combination of rose powder and your own handcrafted rose tincture.
The coconut cream shampoo bars offer a beautifully tropical fragrance and creamy lather for an exotic washing experience, and there’s more!
Make your Own Powerful Herbal Tinctures
Many of the formulas include herbal tinctures that you can easily make yourself using either fresh or dried herbal material. There’s a section on how to make your own vinegar tinctures complete with top tips about preparation, straining, bottling, and more. If you want to ease into the process of making your own tinctures, there are suggested substitutions throughout.
Surfactant Information
The ingredients overview section discusses the 2 dry surfactants featured in these formulas and even touches on biodegradability and sustainability.
Note: these formulas are all ‘SYNDET’ (synthetic detergent) and use the same 2 dry surfactants throughout.
