Consistency #

Consistency is crucial, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. We understand that maintaining the perfect texture and feel of your Color Protection Shampoo Base can be tricky at times. Let’s explore how to address these challenges together, providing you with helpful insights and expert tips to ensure your shampoo base always delivers the desired results.

Too Thick #

If your Color Protection Shampoo Base is too thick while working with it, there are a few reasons that this might be the case that are actually pretty common in the shampoo formulating industry.

Additives - If you're using solid additives like powders or natural butters it might be changing the consistency of your shampoo. If you think this is the case, try adding some more shampoo base to your current batch and in future batches, add less of your solid additives.

Temperature - Temperature is a factor in a lot of bath and body products' consistency and our Color Protection Shampoo Base is no exception. If you are storing and/or working with the shampoo base in areas below room temperature, you may notice that it becomes thicker or more difficult to work with. If you think this is the case, you can always try warming the base a little.

Too Thin #

If your Color Protection Shampoo Base is too thin while working with it, there are a few reasons that this might be the case that are actually pretty common in the shampoo formulating industry.

Additives - If you're using liquid additives such as extracts, humectants, or natural oils it could be effecting the consistency of your shampoo base. If you are experiencing thinning of your shampoo and adding any liquid additives, try adding more shampoo base to thicken it. In future batches, you can add less of your liquid additives to ensure a consistent viscosity.

Temperature - If your shampoo base is too warm it can change the viscosity and become thin. Placing the shampoo base in a room temperature area to cool down should make the base return to a normal viscosity.

Fragrances - Adding too much fragrance to any product can cause it to break down and become thin. If you've added a high percentage of fragrance, try adding more Color Protection Shampoo Base and mixing to increase the viscosity. If your shampoo is thin and you've not added a high fragrance percentage, it could be that the fragrance is not compatible with our shampoo base. Not all fragrances are created equal, and we can only guarantee compatibility with our own fragrances.

Fragrances #

Can't smell your fragrance - If you can't smell the fragrance in your shampoo, double check your measurements to ensure you've incorporated the correct amount. If you have, try adding 1/2% of fragrance at a time and thoroughly mixing until you arrive at your desired fragrance oil.

Fragrance is too strong - If your shampoo smells too strong like fragrance, it is a simple fix. Simply add more of the Color Protection Shampoo Base to your mixture to dilute the fragrance. Keep adding and mixing until your desired fragrance level is reached.

Contamination #

Contamination can have a significant impact on the color, appearance, and smell of your products, leading to unwanted discoloration. When external substances, such as bacteria, fungi, or other impurities, find their way into your products, chemical reactions can occur, altering the color, appearance, and smell. To prevent contamination, we advise following these steps when formulating and repackaging your product:

Cleanliness – Ensure that all equipment, tools, and packaging materials are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before use. This includes containers, mixing utensils, and any other items that come into contact with the base.

Proper storage – Store your product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Exposure to excessive heat or light can degrade the product and promote bacterial growth.

Good manufacturing practices – Adhere to strict hygiene practices during formulation and repackaging. Use gloves to minimize contact and prevent contamination from your hands. Avoid touching the inside of containers or bottles that will be used for packaging.

Controlled environment – Work in a clean and controlled environment, minimizing airborne contaminants and dust particles. Consider using air purifiers or working in a designated cleanroom if possible.

Batch testing – Perform regular batch testing to ensure the quality and stability of your product. This can include microbial testing, pH measurement, and visual inspections for any signs of contamination or spoilage.
