I make this all the time. Wanted to compare notes. Lol. So hydrating for my hair! I use fresh aloe gel That I make and just use a plant preservative. It’s way more moisturizing for my scalp than the store bought one. Spray on my scalp and hair every morning. Thanks for sharing.
Hi , yes you can do this ! I would say once you bring it to a boil, turn the heat down and let it simmer. This way you keep all of the nutrients from the herbs. Also, because the water content would be high in this product, you want to add a preservative so your mixture doesn’t go rancid. Potassium sorbate is a good, natural preservative and it’s edible !
Would I be able to add in a humectant oil like boabab or babassu to this? If so, would I use more solubilizer? I’d like to use 1.6oz of oil in a 16oz finished product. Ideally looking to boost hydration properties for a daily loc moisturizer. I don’t want to put a bunch of oil in my hair cause of buildup but I figure a water based oil suspension would help with hydrating and retaining moisture
She said not to use unprocessed aloe vera gel because it will go bad quickly. If you want to sell this you will most likely have to lower your price for it because you would need to let your customers know it will go rancid quickly.
