Here is a good recipe:
Health & Shine Shampoo Bar by Marina Tadiello
Ingredients [*]
Olive oil or pomace
Coconut oil
Castor oil
Shea butter
Cocoa butter
Unrefined organic avocado oil (at trace)
Jojoba oil (at trace)
6% lye discount
At trace: essential oil blend of rosemary, geranium, lavender, cedarwood, lemon myrtle, eucalyptus dives (peppermint)
Method [*]
This oil combination makes for a fast tracing soap mix! The recipe is rich in conditioning-nourishing oils, and is fantastic for those who would like to "revitalise" their hair.
and a good link!

Hi Carla!
I knew it! Soap making is so much fun!
I have made shampoo bars. They work really great if you add castor Oil up to about 15 percent of total content!

I tried it and all things worked, I am hooked now I just want to make more and I can hardly wait for the soap to be ready to use. Has anyone made shampoo? If so how have you done it?
God bless you |

Hi Carla!
Well- first of all, Soap making can be addictive! It is so much fun and it's always facinating to see the materials combine together!
My best advice would be to make sure you measure everything by weight, and make sure the lye liquid and the oils are within 10 degrees of each other for best trace.
