A compact hair conditioner base built for testing your own care formulas
A 100 ml conditioner base gives formulators, hairdressers, and home enthusiasts a practical way to try out a new hair care recipe without committing to large volumes of raw material. This ready-made emulsion system already contains conditioning agents that smooth the cuticle, reduce static, and make wet or dry hair easier to detangle. The product belongs to the Shampoo ingredients section, which brings together components for building a full hair care line, from cleansing formulas to finishing conditioning products.
The most common use of this base is small-batch home production and trial runs for salons, independent formulators, and beginners in natural cosmetics manufacturing. Conditioner made from this base works as a stand-alone rinse-off product or as a foundation for leave-in sprays, masks, and treatment balms enriched with active ingredients. Since the base already contains emulsifiers and thickeners, no complex equipment is needed — a double boiler and a hand mixer are usually enough to prepare a finished batch.
When building a custom formula, temperature control matters: melt the base in a double boiler at no more than 60-70 degrees Celsius to keep the conditioning agents stable. Once melted, heat-stable actives such as plant extracts, hydrolyzed proteins, or vitamin blends can be introduced directly. If the formula includes heat-sensitive additives, cool the mixture down to around 40 degrees before adding them.
A useful addition to the basic recipe is Collagen 25 ml, which improves hair elasticity and helps the strand retain moisture along its structure. Collagen is typically dosed at 2 to 5 ml per 100 ml of finished product and added while the mass is cooling to around 40-45 degrees. For formulas aimed at supporting hair growth and strengthening follicles, the Peptide hair growth stimulant 5 ml can be included in the recipe, introduced at no more than 40 degrees to preserve the activity of the peptide compounds.
For more targeted formulas addressing thinning hair and signs of androgenic alopecia, the Hair Peptide Complex 2 ml pairs well with the conditioner base and is usually added at 1-2 ml per 100 ml of finished product during the final stage of preparation, once the mixture has cooled.
Store the finished conditioner in a dark, tightly closed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. When prepared correctly and stored properly, the finished product typically stays stable for three to six months. The base itself should be kept in its sealed original packaging in a cool, dry place until use.
This 100 ml size is well suited for testing new formulas before scaling up production, as well as for home use and small handmade gift sets.

Melt the conditioner base in a double boiler at around 60 degrees Celsius until fully liquid. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to 40-45 degrees, then stir in the argan oil until fully blended. Add the collagen and the peptide hair growth stimulant, mixing gently but thoroughly until the texture is smooth and uniform. Pour the finished conditioner into a clean, tightly sealed container and allow it to cool completely before use.
