Nautica Shampoo Base - COSMOS Organic is a fully formulated shampoo base made with gentle, organic-approved surfactants and designed to be used as is or customised to suit your preferred hair care style. It creates a creamy, clean lather and offers a practical starting point for DIY shampoos without needing to formulate from scratch. Because it is already complete, it can be personalised with suitable essential oils, carrier oils, and compatible actives. This is a ready-to-use base for rinse-off hair cleansing products.

♡ Why we love it: A good shampoo base can make DIY far more approachable, and this one gives you a clean, gentle foundation with plenty of room to personalise. It is especially useful when you want a simpler path to custom hair care without compromising on feel or quality.

The natural aroma of base

I enjoyed using the product, the only thing is that it has this almost chemical smell that doesn’t seem to go away even if I add essential oils.
