Excited to try this as my first attempt at a shampoo was a failure. I’ll have to substitute some ingredients but think I can make this work, thank you! PS Tara if you or anyone else reading this knows what I did wrong here, I’d love your thoughts: I recently made my first shampoo using a pre-mixed shampoo base then added more surfactant to it to increase the lather, additives like bamboo extract and carob extract, rice protein and a veggie keratin and scent (essential oils) and preservative. It looks clear (no lumps or “bits” floating), smells great and has a nice texture and foam but it left so much white debris clinging to my scalp and hair shafts that I had to re wash my hair. I didn’t notice anything strange when I was using it but when I combed through my wet hair, I noticed all this white goop on the brush (at first I thought I was having a psoriasis flare up, even though I don’t usually get scalp psoriasis, thankfully). But there was too much sticky white residue to be from anything other than the product itself. And I had rinsed my hair very well as I always do so it wasn’t just a usage issue. Without posting the full recipe (which I can do), does anyone have any ideas what may have caused this “un-rinsable” white residue when formulating shampoo? It looked like massive amounts of dandruff flakes (which I don’t have) that were sticky like glue - had a hard time getting it all out even after the second wash with a commercial shampoo. Needles to say, that experiment was an epic fail! I don’t think I’ll use pre-mixed shampoo bases again, I have enough surfactants to create my own recipe, but I feel bad wasting a big bottle of the stuff so if there’s an obvious lesson to be learned here that I can take in, I’m all ears fellow formulators as I know many of you are more experienced than I!! 💜
I have a couple of ideas. What's your hair type? What were you using before your shampoo? What was the formula, including what is in the premixed shampoo base?
OMG! Thank you for making this shampoo video. As you know, I come back to these videos often to refresh my memory and when I couldn't find the other shampoo video, I was stuck, lol. I have two questions, but I'm going to reach out to you via Etsy.
I’m so delighted to have stumbled across your Channel! Yes, there are plenty of videos on making your own skincare products at home... But l have never watched a video to date with someone explaining everything in such detail. Also, your disclaimer stating your not a licensed chemist or esthetician. (I appreciated your honesty!) I have numerous problems with my skin and hair because of my Stage IV MBC. All of the years chemotherapy and radiation treatments did so much damage to my skin, nails and hair. I’m also older now (61) so my once porcelain skin and extremely think hair is gone. I don’t mind wrinkles so much but liver spots and being able to see my scalp is extremely distressing. Being bald during chemo was one thing but each time my hair grew back... l never knew how it was going to grow back... Straight, wavy or outright curly, but it always grew back thinner. I have spent so much money on various products with no results. I even used a shampoo and conditioner make for Horses called, “Mane ‘n Tail”. I’ve purchased “customized shampoo and conditioner after filling out an extremely long questionnaire. They even inquired about any recent illnesses and medications (if any) I was taking. So I was extremely hopeful and paid a absurd amount of money. It didn’t help my hair but it did smell lovely. You even listed where to purchase everything from the ingredients to the tools. I already subscribed and I’m looking forward to watching more (everyone) of videos. I’m so excited and I’m definitely going to make this shampoo. Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos (and hard work) with everyone. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 P.S. Do you sell your Shampoo online? l thought about try it before I bought of of ingredients and tools... I’m only asking because if I going to make it, I’m going to spend a hefty amount for the start up materials. The pH meter alone is almost $70.
Her esty shop usually is in the description box. Hoping for the best on your journey. Wishing you all the best as continue to push forward with strength and grace.❤
Hello Tara😊Greetings from Germany. I am new to making my own cosmetics, shampoos, etc. I got tired of spending so much money and discovering awful ingredients in my products. I spent a little fortune and was happy until trying to make my own shampoo. Never occurred to me to check ph level. Beginners mistake. No doubt I will make many more. I have curly, thick hair with highlights to bring out the bit of grey I have. What could I add to this recipe to fill that need?? Thank you so much and I've aboed your channel, looking so forward to watch your other videos. Cheers, Julie😊
Thank you for sharing. I love you channel and just recently started following your journey on IG!!!! Love it . I'll be re creating some and tagging you! Thanks for inspiring others
Hi Tara Love your channel always great content. I was wondering if you have a shampoo /conditioner formula for gray hair? What ingredients are used in those purple products for gray hair?
I love your channel. I have a question related with this recipe. What about ASM of this product ? I have calculated related with this, it come out about 17 . Is it good for hairs. I think range for hair care product it is 10 to 15 actually.
Greatly got a shampoo making video but i have a doubt that instead of crothix whether we can add xanthun gum orelse any other thickenning agent because in india its hard to find many raw ingredients can u pls clear my doubt so it will be greatful . thank you for the amazing video sissy.
hey honey just one question, can i ask these keratin and extracts in my castile soap shampoo? like what if i do not want to use all these surfactants and fragnance but just the normal castile shampoo with other ingredients? will it be fine? plz tell me❤️
Hey Tara, can you please help me out with so is it possible to make homemade carrot oil and use that in my face cream formulation? To sell? or I really need to buy from a manufacturer?

How you doing today... My name is Richard, I'm trying to do a large amount of shampoo.. I have 40 4 ounce bottles. How much water do I use for this project.. If you can, I would really appreciate the help, thank you
Hey Tara!! I'm doing a video on my favorite skincare youtubers and l want to include you in the video, but first I am asking you for your permission to do so! Didn't want to include you without your permission!
Hey, I have a question. Let's say I have a 50ml bottle and I'm creating a toner, can I measure everything in ml because I'm not sure how to measure in grams and still get an accurate amount to fill the bottle without extras. Basically I'm not sure how to formulate a desired qty in grams when the container is in ml. E.g. this formula was 150g in 4oz bottle but approximately 4oz is 118ml and 113g according to Google. Please help me understand because I'm not sure what to do
All recipes are in grams you can try a trick you fill put this bottle in the scale and turn on the scale and fill the bottle with water and see how much you got in grams
i made it, couldn't find AOS40, so used decal glucoside, and found it to be a bit drying, so i edited it by adding sci and cetyl alcohol to improve slip, was much better, yet it still is drying and tangles hair easily.. any suggestions to make it less of a clarifying shampoo?? other than that the texture is lovely!
Hey Tara, i try to make a toner following one of your recipe How can u « aim » the exact « grams » ? Every time it’s always above the grams for each ingredients? When I finally succeed to exctrat the exact grams like in your video after several attempt => when I measure the PH of the product it’s above 6 so I have to lower with citric acid : i lowered too much (below 5) How to know if the exact grams of citric acid in order to lower the PH to 5.5 and not below 5 => it seems that I put too much citric acid but how do I know the exact measurement for citric acid to use to lower the PH from 6 to 5.5? I’m desperate, when I watched yours videos, it seems so easy to replicate
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy my content. But I believe the only animal based ingredient I use is honeyquat. The keratin I use is plant based keratin.
Most of animal based ingredients used in cosmetic industry even real animal based keratin is a byproduct of meat industry, the parts that otherwise would go to waste. And meat industry would always exist, no doubt. We are not meant to be herbivores no matter how much you want that to be true. In where I live you can’t find any vegetarian dishes in any restaurants and no one here is vegetarian. And we are always ranked top one/two of the most longevity country in the world. Better yet try spending your energy on healthy and sustainable meat industry instead of mass producing meat and inhumanly treating of animals. That’s more the right direction than being a vegan.

I have a couple of ideas.

I really need help finding a non toxic, organic Body Wash recipe. My husband likes bar soap and I prefer body wash.
Bar soap isn’t great to use too much because the pH is too high and can damage your skin’s acid mantle. For recipes, I recommend Humblebee & Me :)
I love your videos! I subscribed! you are so pretty
Hey Tara, i try to make a toner following one of your recipe
How can u « aim » the exact « grams » ?
Every time it’s always above the grams for each ingredients?
When I finally succeed to exctrat the exact grams like in your video after several attempt => when I measure the PH of the product it’s above 6 so I have to lower with citric acid : i lowered too much (below 5)

@TaraLee please reply to my message its urgent.
I adore your content. I'm sad you're starting to use some animal-based ingredients though :(
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy my content. But I believe the only animal based ingredient I use is honeyquat. The keratin I use is plant based keratin.
Most of animal based ingredients used in cosmetic industry even real animal based keratin is a byproduct of meat industry, the parts that otherwise would go to waste. And meat industry would always exist, no doubt. We are not meant to be herbivores no matter how much you want that to be true. In where I live you can’t find any vegetarian dishes in any restaurants and no one here is vegetarian. And we are always ranked top one/two of the most longevity country in the world. Better yet try spending your energy on healthy and sustainable meat industry instead of mass producing meat and inhumanly treating of animals. That’s more the right direction than being a vegan.
