Hello Andreea, Lavender essential oil is a perfect option in case your little one does not like Mandeline perfume. Have a sunny day!

Hello. Can I replace Mandrleine fragrance with lavender essential oil? Or any other essential oil? I mention that I have prepared the shampoo, I am very satisfied with it, but it is for a 3 year old girl and she is not very pleased with the smell.

Hello Adriana, In the case of this shampoo, specially formulated for little ones, for safety reasons, we do not recommend increasing the dosage of the fragrance used. Good luck!

Hello, I prepared this shampoo for the first time. I'm thrilled with how it turned out. I like how it washes. I want to make it again in the future, and I would like it if it were a little more fragrant. Is it all right if I increase the fragrance? Or I'm thinking of using another flavor from the natural fragrance range. Would that be okay? Thank you.

Hello! You only need a very small amount of lactic acid to adjust the pH, even without lactic acid the pH should be no more than 8-9, so somewhere you have made a mistake.

Good evening, I have now prepared the shampoo as in the proposed recipe, but I could not adjust the ph (one bottle of lactic acid was not enough, remaining at ph 10). Is this ok? Can I use it? I haven't put cosgard yet (I would like to use it in a week).

Dear Lara, you can also calculate the weight of the ingredients based on the percentages given in the recipe. So for the extract, 0.6%, or 1.5 g.

Hello! You can prepare this shampoo, it contains no contraindicated ingredients. Mandeline is a very mild perfuming and the dosage is small, but you can remove it from the recipe.

Hello, For an adult with psoriasis scalp I thought to prepare this shampoo. Could Mandeline fragrance be allergenic? She's also pregnant. Are any ingredients contraindicated? Thank you.

Hello! Both formulas are suitable, the bubble bath is less concentrated. No changes needed, possibly an addition of about 0.3% allantoin would be beneficial for the skin.

Hello, I have made this formula as well as this one. Which one do you recommend as being gentler on the skin of a baby with mild atopic dermatitis? We use them as both shampoo and shower gel. What modifications could I make to make it more suitable for this skin type? Thank you very much!

Thank you very much. I have made this shampoo a few times and I like it, but after a while it has a stinging odor, a drept ca I used floral water ,do you think this is the reason? Or can there be other causes? I followed the recipe and don't know what could be the reason.

Hello! You can add about 0.5% lemon essential oil and about 3% marine-z, remove the mandeline fragrance and adjust the dosage of water in phase B accordingly. Good luck!
