Summary:
If you want to avoid exposure to the harmful chemicals in store bought shampoo, why not trying making your own? It´s easier than you think.

Details or Sample:

The list of shampoo ingredients listed on the bottle of most nonorganic shampoos reads like a chemical factory.. If you spend any time reading these bottles, you can usually find two or three ingredients that are known through medical studies to be toxic to animals and man including such ingredients as propylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, and distearate. If you shampoo every day, you may be getting significant exposure to these potential disease causing agents. Fortunately, there is a solution. You can learn how to make shampoo at home.

It´s really not as difficult to make shampoo as you might think. You can start with a standard base of castile soap and then add additional ingredients to give you shampoo the right thickness, moisturizing properties, and fragrance. Liquid castile soap should be easy to find at your local health food store. If you want to get more deeply into shampoo making, you may want to visit the Chemistry Store, an online store where you can find a variety of shampoo formulations and concentrates.

Here´s a basic recipe using castile soap as the base:

1. Gather together fresh herbs of your choice to add to your shampoo. The herbs are mainly for scent, although some such as lavender may help a bit with flaking of the scalp. You may want to do a bit of reading about herbs and their properties. Place the fresh herbs in a jar.

2. Boil around a cup of water on the stove and pour over the herbs.

3. Allow the herb mixture to sit for 30 minutes.

4. Use a strainer to separate the liquid from the herbs. Place the herbal liquid into a bowl.
