How We Make Our Solid Shampoo Bar
First,
we melt and hand-mix 100% natural oils of Palm, Coconut, Castor, Emu
& Shea with a lye solution (caustic soda & distilled water)
that turns the healing oils into soap ("saponification"). We then add
organic ethanol, vegetable glycerin, and a sucrose solution (sugar and
water) and allow the mixture to boil for several hours. The ethanol
completely evaporates out of the mixture, leaving behind a mild,
moisturizing, and transparent soap base.
To
further the soap's mildness, we add Apple Cider Vinegar to the mix. We
then add hair-nourishing Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein & Dl-Panthenol,
as well as hair growth-promoting essential oils of Lavendar, Cedarwood,
Rosemary and Thyme.
The
solution is poured into molds and hand cut into bars once it firms up.
The bars then "cure" for several weeks to form a hard, clear, and very
mild shampoo bar.
At the end of the curing process, there is absolutely no lye or ethanol left in the shampoo bar.
The name Shea-mu (pronounced Shay-myou) comes from the high concentration of Shea Butter and Emu Oil.
