This product should be added to a formulation at the recommended usage rate.

NOTE: Not recommended as-is for a shampoo since it might be drying. The addition of conditioning agents might be helpful, but stability tests would be needed to ensure the formula doesn't separate. Use unscented (as-is) or add your own Fragrance or Essential Oils at a ratio up to 1%. No solubilizer needed. Add color by using liquid colorants. The base has a slight yellow tint so be sure to first test for compatibility in a small batch. Percentage of carrier oils or additives that can be added must be tested. This is a cold mix formula, so no heating is required. Just add your scent and/or colorant directly to the base and shake well or hand stir with a spatula at room temperature.
