What is Conventional Hair & Body Wash Base made from?
A blend of purified water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine as the primary cleansing agents, with Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride for conditioning, Propylene Glycol, a Diazolidinyl Urea and Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate preservative system, Sodium Chloride for viscosity adjustment and Citric Acid for pH balance.

Is this ready to use straight from the bottle?
It's supplied unfragranced and uncoloured as a wash base for formulators. It's already thickened to a usable gel, so you can use it as-is or customise it with your own fragrance, colour and additional actives before it becomes a finished shower gel, bath gel, body wash or shampoo.

Is it safe to handle?
It's not classified as an overall hazardous substance, but it can cause serious eye irritation and, for some people, an allergic skin reaction, so gloves and eye protection are recommended when handling it in bulk or fragrancing it. Always read the SDS for full handling guidance.

What can I make with it?
Shower gel, bath gel, body wash and wash-out shampoo formulations.

Where is it made?
Made in Australia, from imported ingredients.

How should I store it?
In its original, tightly closed container, out of reach of children, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials.

Does it come with a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes — every batch is quality-control tested for appearance, viscosity, pH and stability, with a Certificate of Analysis available
