Amazing idea :) Have you thought in including in your formula aritha powder? Aritha (also known as reetha) is just soapnut powder, so like that it's possible to give an extra kick with the cleaning properties in a 100% natural way. Also, saponines, being surfactants, may help to emulsify some of the fat, improving rinsing. It's just an idea ;)
Hi Lise, where I live I am able to buy only Geogard 221 (Cosgard) as a natural preservative. Someone else asked, but you advised to use Naticide. Is it possible that Geogard 221 can work in this cleanser in a jar? I have already bought Geogard 221. Looking forward to your reply.
I have had success with cosgard in several formulations but have never tried it in an anhydrous mix such as this one. My best suggestion is to give it a try. :)

This is amazing, I made it with oats, clay, rose powder, calendula powder and kokum butter. With a few drops of chamomile oil. So dreamy! My skin feels so soft!
Hi. I just formulated this yesterday and I loved it. I've used shea butter, fuller's earth clay, oats, ashwagandha powder, aloevera powder and sweet almond oil.
I never liked how cleansers made my skin feel so this is a good choice. Thank you and God Bless you.
Helo Ahlam - How wonderful you have found something that works for you. I love your list of ingredients and may just have to try this myself! Stay safe and healthy :D
Hi Lisa, I love the way you work :) was just wondering, with the addition of an surfactant or saponins would it make an effective'conditioning' cleanser for kinky type hair.
Hi Moody - Sounds like this might be with a try-- start with a small amount of fine powder (keep it under 5%). If you want to add a liquid surfactant, you're going to need to consider adding a preservative, and may have trouble keeping everything from separating without additional ingredients. I'd go with the powdered surfactant first off and see how it turns out. Might as well start with the one easiest to try :)

I am really looking forward to making this recipe. Do you need to keep it refrigerated?
