Nowadays, commercial shampoos are too expensive, while cheaper ones may contain dangerous chemicals. Offer consumers an alternative by formulating your own brand of all natural shampoos that can be sold at a more affordable price. Best of all, this product takes only a few minutes to finish.
Salons, hotels, luxury liners, or airlines provide shampoo as part of their room service, are possible markets for your un-branded shampoo.

- Dissolve the surfactant in 700g of de-ionized water using a plastic container. Stir the water continuously in one direction for about 30 minutes until all the surfactant is dissolved. Set aside,
- Put de-ionized water in two separate plastic chelating agent and the other to dissolve the industrial salt. Stir until dissolved and then set aside.
- Get the dissolved surfactant solution and add the other raw materials in the specified order listed above. Make sure that each chemical is completely dissolved before adding the next one.
