Can this be diluted to use in a foaming bottle -
Hi Rosie, The Basic Essentials Shampoo cannot be diluted for a foamer, it is a pearlescent formula and adding 80% water will cause the shimmer to fall. If you wish to create a foaming soap you want to use a clear liquid soap as your base.
Thank you

Will fragrance oils thin this base? -
Good Morning, we intentionally formulate our shampoos and liquid soaps thick enough so that they remain thick and do not thin when the recommended percentage of pure, uncut, cosmetic grade FO or EO is added. Thank you
