Let's get started!

What Is Conditioning Shampoo ?

Conditioning shampoo is a hair-cleansing product designed to combine cleansing and conditioning benefits in one formulation.

Unlike a basic cleansing shampoo, a conditioning shampoo also contains ingredients that help improve hair softness, smoothness and manageability.

A ready-made conditioning shampoo base makes the formulation process easier because the cleansing and conditioning systems are already incorporated.

Benefits of Conditioning Shampoo

Conditioning shampoo is a popular choice for people who want a convenient hair-care routine.

Some of its key benefits include:

• Cleansing: Helps remove everyday dirt, oil and product buildup from the hair.

• Softness: Conditioning ingredients help leave hair feeling softer.

• Smooth Hair: Helps improve the feel and manageability of hair.

• Convenient Hair Care: Combines cleansing and conditioning in one product.

• Customized Formulation: Allows you to personalize your shampoo using compatible cosmetic ingredients.

The actual results depend on the complete formulation and individual hair type.

You will need:

1. D Roots Wellness Cream Soft Shampoo Base – 99 g: Provides the cleansing and conditioning system, along with a creamy pearlized texture.

2. Compatible Cosmetic-Grade Fragrance – 1 g: Adds a pleasant fragrance to your customized shampoo. Choose a fragrance specifically approved for rinse-off hair-care products and compatible with the base.

Equipment Required

Easy Conditioning Shampoo Recipe (100 g)

Here is the simple formulation:

Ingredients	Quantity
D Roots Wellness Cream Soft Shampoo Base	99 g
Compatible Cosmetic-Grade Fragrance	1 g
Total	100 g

Important: The 1% fragrance level is an example only. Always follow the fragrance supplier's maximum permitted concentration for rinse-off shampoo and verify compatibility with the shampoo base. If the permitted level is lower, reduce the fragrance and increase the base accordingly. The base's maximum customization limit is 2% total added ingredients.

How to Make Conditioning Shampoo at Home: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Prepare Your Equipment

Start by cleaning your glass mixing bowl, spatula, beaker and shampoo bottle.

Make sure all equipment is completely dry before starting the formulation process.

Work on a clean surface and wear clean gloves to maintain good hygiene.

Step 2: Measure the Conditioning Shampoo Base

Take a clean glass bowl and weigh 99 g of D Roots Wellness Cream Soft Shampoo Base using a digital weighing scale.

This ready-made base already contains a cleansing system and conditioning ingredients, making it convenient for beginners.

Its creamy pearlized consistency gives the finished shampoo an attractive appearance.

Step 3: Add the Fragrance

Measure 1 g of compatible cosmetic-grade fragrance in a separate glass beaker.

Add the fragrance slowly to the shampoo base.

Make sure the fragrance is suitable for rinse-off hair-care products and follows the supplier's recommended usage level.

Step 4: Mix the Ingredients Gently

Using a clean silicone spatula, gently mix the ingredients until the fragrance is evenly distributed throughout the shampoo base.

Avoid vigorous stirring because excessive mixing can introduce air bubbles and unwanted foam.

Continue mixing until the shampoo has a uniform appearance.

Step 5: Transfer into a Shampoo Bottle

Once mixing is complete, carefully transfer the finished conditioning shampoo into a clean, dry cosmetic bottle.

Close the bottle securely and store it according to the shampoo base supplier's instructions.
