Hello, I have a small question for you. The color protection Shampoo base, is that formula ready to go? Just add scent? Do i need to add a preservative after I scent with fragrance oil or essential oil? Please let me know Thank You
Lisa-
Hi Lisa, thanks for reaching out. All of our bases are finished product, ready to use as-is, properly preserved. No need to add anything aside from fragrance if you like. Thank you!

I was trying to decide on a fragrance to use for this shampoo, but you have so many! Are there any you would recommend or are a favorite for haircare? -
Good Morning, when it comes to scent for hair care product lines, the following scent profiles are most popular: Tropicals such as Coconut, Mango, Cantaloupe, Hibiscus… Herbals such as Rainforest, Green Tea, Chamomile and Honey…
Spa Scents such as Eucalyptus, Rosemary Mint, Tea Tree, Lavender…
Hope this helps!

Besides adding fragrance, what else could I add to customize it? I was thinking of adding some botanical extracts, would that be OK? -
Good Morning, our bases, including shampoos and conditioners, are finished products, unscented, already packed with a slew of advantageous ingredients, and ready to use as-is. If you want an extra boost of benefits you can definitely add extracts/additives. Some great options for hair are Aloe Vera, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Rosemary, which moisturize, strengthen, and promote a healthy scalp. Feel free to visit our raw ingredients page to peruse our vast selection of choices to take your hair care line to the next level! Thank you
