Are you referring to co-washing?
-
All shampoo surfactants remove oil from hair.
So you can only:
A. Co-wash as @ngarayeva001 suggested
B. Formulate a very mild shampoo that removes little oil from hair
C. Use a post-shampoo conditioner or hair treatment that restores oils. -
thanks for your suggestion
can you guide me more about co-wash -
Co-wash is a fancy word for washing hair with a conditioner instead of shampoo. It might work for very dry scalp and hair (I read it’s ok for 4B/4C hair types), but it’s not really washing.

ok thanks @ngarayeva001

I made an oil shampoo 2years ago you can try out. It’s a high foam shampoo that leaves hair clean and soft. Here’s the formulation;
Plantapon AF 56.4
Soybean Oil 21
CCT 15
Castor Oil 5
Herbal Extract 0.5
Hydrolyzed Protein 1
Sodium Benzoate 0.5
Antioxidant 0.1
Fragrance 0.5
Method of manufacture
- Add the following well;
- Plantapon AF, Soybean Oil, CCT, Castor Oil & Fragrance
- Pre mix the following until uniform
- Herbal extract, Hydrolysed Protein, Antioxidant & Sodium Benzoate
- Add to surfactant batch and mix well
That sounds more like an emulsion/cream than a shampoo.
@Pharma nope it’s not. It’s an oil shampoo. Looks and feels like an oil on contact with skin. Foams when water is added to it. See image below.
Interesting!
See BASF’s formula here. (UL Prospector)
High foam? I’m skeptical. How does the foam compare to a sulfate shampoo?
@Perry this is a sulfate shampoo. Plantapon® AF is a mixture of alkyl ether sulfate, citric acid ester of ethoxylated fatty alcohol and nonionic emulsifier. Read about it here https://www.ulprospector.com/documents/1312918.pdf?bs=804&b=91858&st=20&r=eu&ind=personalcare
@Belassi spot on.
I heard that there are materials that allow making high performance shampoo with huge amount of oils. It sounds very interesting but they are not sold at DIY size quantities (1lt).
@Nubian - I was asking about how the formula you posted compares to standard (non-oil containing) shampoos. When you said “high foaming”, I was wondering about that comparison. I’ve not found oil containing formulas to be high foaming relative to non-oil containing shampoos.
@Perry performance is strikingly the same.
@UsmanAli you can also look at Marlinat 242/90 MC by Sasol Performance Chemicals. I just found they take long to respond to sample requests.
@Nubian - Interesting.
That sounds like a new category in the hair industry…you should pursue it more…oil shampoo is a great idea. I have very dry hair, but wash to clarify my scalp due to thinning hair. I hate how my hair feels after shampooing.
I am actually surprised it’s not available at DIY market because most homecrafters love the idea of mixing shampoo with oil. I see people posting formulas attempting to incorporate huge amounts of oil into a shampoo and asking why it separates probably once a week here. @Nubian, is it difficult to process/requires special equipment?
We saponify coconut oil to make a shampoo product. The amount of oil remaining can be controlled via the saponification reaction, or adding oil after saponification.
@ngarayeva001 at upwards of 50% in the formula though it would get used up quick right?
We actually had a sample on hand so I tried something similar:
Plantapon AF 55
CCT 14.5
Argan Oil 18
Rosemary EO 0.5
Castor Oil 11
Euxyl PE 9010 (Phenoxyethanol/ Ethylhexylglycerin) 1
There was foam but it was on the smaller side, a little creamy (sorry I am not very experienced with cleansers so my vocab is lacking). I attached a picture, not sure if that helps or what the proper method for foam testing is
I agree, it’s clearly doesn’t foam well. Could it differ depending on oils I wonder..
Yes, thanks very much for posting the photo. Unimpressive. I’d want a LOT more foam than that.
@ngarayeva001 it’s quite easy to prepare. I used an overhead stirrer with a paddle attachment.
@EVchem that’s the foam I got when tested washing my hands. The results are much different on curly hair or on a shower/bath luffa. Here’s an image of the foam.
