A Ready Liquid Concentrate for Formulating Shampoos and Wash Products
The Organic Shampoo Base 1 L is a ready-made mild cleansing concentrate built on plant-derived surfactants, used as a foundation for creating shampoos, shower gels, and facial wash foams. This item belongs to the category base for cosmetics, cream, serum, shampoo, where formulators find ready bases for fast and predictable production of personal care products without having to build an emulsion from scratch.
The primary global use of this liquid shampoo base is in hair care manufacturing: everyday cleansing shampoos, strengthening formulas enriched with botanical extracts, gentle formulas for children, and products designed for sensitive scalps. The formula is already balanced for foam volume and mildness of cleansing, so the manufacturer only needs to add active ingredients and fragrance without altering the base ratio. Beyond hair care, the same base is widely used to produce liquid hand soap, intimate hygiene washes, and gentle body cleansing gels, where it serves as the structural foundation of the recipe.
The 1 liter format suits small-batch and studio-scale cosmetic production — independent labs and boutique manufacturers testing new formulas before committing to larger runs, as well as producing trial batches for market testing. This volume allows formulators to check compatibility with various active additives, fragrances, and thickeners without wasting large amounts of raw material, and later scale up to bigger packaging once the formula is confirmed for stable supply.
When building a shampoo formula on this base, botanical extracts, hydrolyzed proteins, panthenol, niacinamide, and essential oils are typically introduced once the mixture has cooled to room temperature or slightly above, generally not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to protect heat-sensitive ingredients. Preservatives and stabilizers should be added strictly according to the supplier's instructions, with active ingredient dosages usually ranging from 0.5 to 5 percent of the total mass depending on the compound. The base pairs well with pH adjusters, conditioning agents, and natural salt-based or polysaccharide thickeners, allowing formulators to fine-tune the final viscosity.
For a complete personal care line, manufacturers often combine this shampoo base with other ready bases: a moisturizing body lotion can be built using the Moisturising Lotion Base, while a cream line can rely on the ready-made DMS cream base or the gentle Calendula Cream Base, which suits sensitive skin formulations. Combining these bases makes it easy to assemble a full care range under one consistent concept.
Store the liquid base in a tightly sealed container, in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, at temperatures not exceeding 25 degrees Celsius, avoiding freezing. Once opened, use the contents within a reasonable timeframe and prevent moisture or foreign particles from entering the container to maintain formula stability throughout production.

Pour the base into a clean container and add the nettle extract and panthenol, stirring gently until fully blended without generating excess foam. Add the preservative according to the supplier's guidelines and mix thoroughly, then incorporate the hydrolyzed wheat protein followed by the rosemary essential oil, stirring after each addition. To adjust thickness, gradually add the salt solution in small increments, checking the consistency each time until the desired texture is reached. Transfer the finished shampoo into a clean container and let it rest for a couple of hours at room temperature to stabilize before bottling or further use.
