  Ingredients Required to Make Lavender Shower Gel at Home

  You only need a few ingredients to prepare this easy lavender shower gel formulation.

  1. Crystal Clear Hydrating Shower Gel Base

  This is the main ingredient that provides the cleansing system and gel texture.

  2. Lavender Fragrance Oil

  Choose a cosmetic-grade lavender fragrance suitable for rinse-off body wash products. It gives your shower gel a pleasant lavender aroma.

  3. Lavender Extract (Optional)

  A compatible, cosmetic-grade water-soluble lavender extract can be used to add a botanical touch to your formulation.

  Make sure the extract is suitable for the shower gel base and does not negatively affect its clarity or viscosity.

  
  DIY Lavender Shower Gel Formulation – 1 KG Batch

  Here is a simple beginner-friendly formulation to get started.

  Ingredients	Quantity	Purpose
  Crystal Clear Hydrating Shower Gel Base	985 g	Cleansing base
  Cosmetic-grade Lavender Fragrance	10 g	Lavender aroma
  Water-soluble Lavender Extract	5 g	Optional botanical addition
  Total	1000 g	Finished batch

  Formulation Note: This recipe contains 1.5% total additives, within the product page's stated maximum of 2% additives. The 1% fragrance level is a suggested starting point, not a universal safe limit. Check the fragrance supplier's IFRA documentation and maximum permitted concentration for rinse-off body wash applications. Confirm that the lavender extract is compatible with the base.

  For a simpler formulation, you can skip the lavender extract and use only the lavender fragrance.
  
  

  Step-by-Step: How to Make Lavender Shower Gel at Home

  Follow these easy steps to create your own customized lavender shower gel.

  Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

  Start by cleaning and sanitizing all your formulation equipment.

  You will need:

  • Clean glass mixing bowl
  • Digital weighing scale
  • Silicone spatula
  • Small glass beakers
  • Clean cosmetic storage bottle
  • Gloves

  Make sure all equipment is completely dry before starting.

  Step 2: Measure the Shower Gel Base

  Take 985 g of D Roots Wellness Crystal Clear Hydrating Shower Gel Base in a clean, dry mixing bowl.

  Stir gently using a clean silicone spatula.

  Avoid vigorous stirring because it can introduce air bubbles and create excessive foam.

  Step 3: Add Lavender Fragrance

  Measure 10 g of cosmetic-grade lavender fragrance.

  Add it slowly to the shower gel base while stirring gently.

  Mix carefully until the fragrance is evenly distributed throughout the formulation.

  Always follow the fragrance supplier's recommended usage level for rinse-off products.

  Step 4: Add Lavender Extract

  Measure 5 g of compatible water-soluble lavender extract.

  Add it gradually to the mixture and stir gently until fully incorporated.

  This step is optional. If you are a beginner, you can start with the base and fragrance only.

  Step 5: Mix Until Uniform

  Continue mixing slowly until all the ingredients are evenly blended.

  The finished shower gel should have a consistent appearance without visible separation.

  Avoid vigorous mixing to minimize air bubbles.

  Allow the mixture to stand in a clean, covered container until the trapped air has settled.

  Step 6: Fill the Shower Gel Bottle

  Once the formulation is uniform and air bubbles have settled, transfer the finished lavender shower gel into a clean, dry cosmetic bottle.

  Transparent bottles are a great choice because they showcase the crystal-clear appearance of the shower gel.

  Your customized lavender shower gel is now ready for evaluation!

  Tips for Making the Best Lavender Shower Gel

  Keep these important tips in mind when preparing your formulation:

  1. Always purchase cosmetic-grade ingredients from reliable suppliers.
  2. Use a digital weighing scale for accurate measurements.
  3. Add fragrance slowly and mix gently.

For commercial production, carry out appropriate stability, microbial, packaging compatibility, and safety testing.
