ways to customize

Fragrances & Essential Oils

Adding scent to a product can make it unique and help it stand out in the market. Scent can create positive emotions, build brand recognition, and differentiate a product from its competitors. To ensure that the final product remains tear-free, we suggest using a fragrance load of 0.3% when formulating with our Gentle Shampoo Base.

Colorants

Colors can be an excellent way to customize body care products and make them stand out on the shelves. The use of colors in body care products can create an attractive and eye-catching appearance that can appeal to customers. By selecting different colors, body care products can also convey different messages, such as relaxation or invigoration, depending on the desired effect.

Botanical & Herbal Extracts

Adding botanical extracts to shampoo can help make them unique and offer a range of benefits to the hair and scalp. Botanical extracts are derived from plants and contain natural properties that can help to nourish, moisturize, and strengthen the hair. Depending on the extract used, they can also provide other benefits such as increased shine or improved scalp health.

Vitamins

Adding vitamins to shampoo can help make it unique and offer additional benefits to the hair and scalp. Vitamins are essential nutrients that are required for healthy hair growth and maintenance. By incorporating vitamins such as Vitamin B5 or Vitamin E into a shampoo formula, it can help strengthen hair strands, improve hair texture and add shine.

Quality I have come to appreciate

I just want to let you know I have tried another supplier for the shampoo base, it didn’t even come close to the quality I have come to appreciate from your company. I keep coming back to Essentials because you have some of the best prices for a majority of the things I need. I will continue to order through Essentials, as my business grows I hope to give you more business. 🙂
