Organic Shampoo Recipe

Many people who are concerned about the stuff we dump onto our water works are now going organic.  Organic living simply means choosing everyday products which use materials and ingredients that are not harmful to our environment.  However differentiating between natural and organic may sometimes be difficult.  What with the terminologies and everything.  So to make sure that we stay organic, there are actually recipes out there which can allow us to make our own organic shampoo made from everyday over the counter materials which are all earth friendly.

The most basic ingredient of this shampoo is Castile soap.  This type of soap is colored white and originated in the Castile region in Spain and is made from olive oil.  For natural shampoo for normal hair add ¼ cup water to ¼ cup liquid Castile soap and ½ teaspoon sunflower or other light vegetable oil.  Mix the ingredients together, store in a bottle and use as you would a shampoo.

For dry hair mix together ¼ cup liquid Castile soap, ¼ cup aloe vera gel, 1 teaspon glycerine and 1 teaspoon avocado oil.  Glycerine is one of the most basic ingredients of soap and is used to add lubrication and will make the hair smoother.  For maximum effect, let the shampoo set in the hair for a few minutes and rinse with cool water.

Making organic every day personal care products such as shampoo is easy.  Not only does it save the earth from the pollution shampoo causes we can also make sure that the products we use are healthy for human consumption.
