:lachen::lachen::lachen: I was waiting to see if @mzteaze was still interested, if not...it's not a must have :lachen:

Her question was along the lines of:
She saw a shampoo that was sold with only African Black soap and Shea butter and if I knew of a way to blend it together in a shampoo.

I had a similar situation but for a different product I'm working on and I've been using Polysorbate 80. It's similar to BTMS as it helps emulsify oil and water, but the difference is it doesnt thicken your mixture in the way that BTMS does. It is a water soluble emulsifier so it's best in shampoos or a water based spray.

I've been making my own rosewater and using it as an Emulsifier to combine the oil thats also in the spray, so I dont have to constantly shake it up when I use it. I find it to be mildly conditioning too.

There are a few old threads here where some members rubbed it directly on the scalp (DHT blocker) which also made me think it would be perfect in a shampoo for @mzteaze by readimg some of her posts around the forum. I think Polysorbate 80 along with Rosemary tea, african black soap & shea olein oil would make a good shampoo for you.

I've been considering revisiting flax seed gel. I mainly like it for dd1. I just don't style our hair often enough to really warrant making it all the time. May be time to get a preservative in that case.

That’s why I stopped making it myself lol but the slip and moisture is amazing esp for it to be a gel. I am curious to try premade if it were really natural but yea I wouldn’t keep it longer than 1-2 weeks in the fridge

I bought all of the ingredients except for a preservative. That's why I haven't made it up yet. I even found a recipe.

But I love that you remembered my interest. :2inlove:

@ElevatedEnergy I'm thinking about buying that white african soap and making a shampoo with it by making a tea out of the herbs i have(as the water in the mix) some bentonite clay and my herbal oil infusion. Would that go bad fast?

The ph (even watered down) will be high so this alone will stop it from going bad too fast, but I would still put it in the fridge and use it within a week. I always preseve my stuff though AND still refridgerate it. Potassium Sorbate has become my fav preservative....that with citric acid to balance the ph.

good to know... i'm gonna start calling you our resident diy pusher.

It came out great. I had some p&j fragrance oils so added some grapefruit to scent it. It smelled too earthy for me (even my mom said it smelled earthy). The fragrance oil covered it right up. My mom is now my sniff tester.

I'm trying to normalize my future absence, by mentioning it early. And you all are counter-acting me by normalizing that I stay, early.

Stop trying to thwart me, people!​
