  Syndet shampoo bar advise

  Posted by anita on March 13, 2018 at 1:42 pm

  Hello all! 
  I am so happy that I found this forum:) 
  I am trying to make a solid shampoo bar :

  SCI 48%
  Root white marshmallow powder 15%
  Decyl glycoside 13 % 
  Cocoamidopropyl betaine 6%
  Rose petals powder 5%
  Castor oil 3%
  Cetearyl alcohol 3%
  Stearic acid 3%
  Glycerin 3%

  The problem is that after using it my hair has that waxy feeling and it does not work well…
  Before that I tried the same formula without stearic acid and did not work well also - while washing my hair felt that sharp feeling ….
  Can you please tell if you think something is missing or something is excessive ..

  Greets from Bulgaria!

  Remove the castor oil.

   @zaidjeber Thank you for your advise !
   I was thinking of replacing the castor oil with coconut oil …..also I was thinking that the root white marshmallow powder is quite high percentage . If you could share an opinion I would be grateful I really think that some oil would do a great job in the bar
