Escentia Natural Shampoo Base is a non-fragranced shampoo base made with natural and naturally derived ingredients for customised hair care. It is designed for DIY use, giving you a ready-made cleansing base that can be adapted with essential oils, carrier oils, infusions, conditioning agents, or other compatible actives. The formula offers a simpler starting point for creating a more personalised shampoo without building one from scratch. This is a shampoo base rather than a finished fragranced shampoo, so it is especially suited to makers who want flexibility in their hair care formulations.
♡ Why we love it: This base makes DIY hair care feel far more approachable. It gives you a clean, simple foundation to build on, whether you want to keep things minimal or tailor it to specific hair preferences with your own chosen additions.

For all hair types, no residue on hair and goes a long way.
I added this to my base shampoo mixture - when I washed my hair, I initially thought - nope, does not feel like commercial product when you apply to the hair. However!!! even though it does not foam as much as regular products, it left my hair soft and shiny - will play around a bit with the percentages but yes, will buy again.
Smells amazing when combined with Grapefruit (Rose) essential oil. The consistency is thin and does not lather that much. However the results are fantastic for the whole family with different hair types.
