i love the look of this. Unfortunately can’t get the Disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate in Australia. We seem to be a bit behind on some ingredients. :(

HI Laurie - you can order this ingredient from Aroma Zone. I do try and look at availability of ingredients when I share a how-to on the blog because I know how frustrating it can be to try and make something without all the right components. One of the reasons I will happily share a formula using ingredients from Aroma Zone is because I KNOW they will ship any where in the world. The site is ion French but visit through Google translate and you're set. :)

Amazing reading this.
Should we look for organic foam paste and SCI if we are making organic products?

Hi Aamira - I used the paste for these. Neither of these are organic ingredients.

Hi.. I tried incorporating vinegar in my shampoo bars as herbal tinctures at a %:of 5 and some times lower but it leaves an unpleasant feeling on my hair .. squeaky and dty .. I hear that vinegar is beneficial for hair .. is that ok??

HI Unknown -- not knowing the rest of the ingredients you used, it's really hard to comment on what might be causing the dry feeling. You might try troubleshooting the problem by making a few small comparative batches where you keep track of which ingredients are in each batch, then test each one and note how your hair feels. Best of luck with it. :)

Hello,I would like to make this. Should we use disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate in foam paste? I can't find in foam paste in India. Please help me out with this. Is there any video to refer to in order to prepare at home. I am new to this and any suggestion would be really helpful. Thankyou.

HI Tara - you could make your own version of 'foam paste' using the dry version of the surfactant and mixing with distilled water to make a paste. I am not sure about whether or not there are any videos available, but if you check out Humblebee & Me, you might find something to help as she does both videos and blogs of her formulas.

Can you please comment the steps of what ingredients should go first when making a paste in ingredient A

Hi student — I buy it as a paste (mentioned in the post) so I haven’t tried this any other way,
