Formula;

phase A

phase B

phase C

Directions;

  • combine all the ingredients in phase A and mix until the DL panthenol dissolves

  • combine both ingredients in phase B then add into phase A

  • heat up the crothix in phase C and then combine with the rest of the ingredients in phase C

  • Add phase C into phase A/B and mix until combined. (it may seem thin at first, but it thickens more the more you mix)

  • check ph and balance to 4.5-5.5

ph adjusting; natural ph fell at 6.26 and I added in 6 drops of a 50/50 diluted solution of citric acid and got the ph down to 5.45


Benefits/Purpose of each ingredient

liquid germall plus - preservative

dl panthenol - it’s a film former that increases shine while hydrating the hair strand to be more elastic, more manageable, and healthier. It can thicken the hair shaft, making hair appear thicker.

glycerin - It acts as a natural humectant, meaning that it can attract and draw moisture to your hair and scalp and hold it there

vegekeratin - a vegan alternative to keratin. Keratin helps strengthen hair, enhances elasticity, and helps protect hair from harsh salon processes.

polyquaternium-78 - conditions hair

hydrolyzed quinoa - can enhance color retention, provides film forming and moisture retention benefits, protects hair and increases shine for healthier looking hair.

violet No. 2 - tones hair and helps get rid of brassiness.

poly suga mulse D9 - solubilizes fragrance into shampoo

crothix - thickener

AOS 40 - anionic surfactant that cleanses the hair and serves as the main lathering agent

cocamidopropyl betaine - an amphoteric surfactant that offers great lather and is a foam booster
