Hair Conditioner Base Natural – Pre-made Emulsion for Conditioning and Hair Care
Hair conditioner base natural is a ready-to-use emulsion used for the rapid preparation of customized hair conditioners and masks. The formula is crafted with plant-derived conditioning agents and enriched with organic butters and oils. It acts by neutralizing electrostatic charges on the surface of the hair shaft, smoothing the cuticle, and facilitating detangling.
The base exhibits stability and allows for the additional incorporation of a wide range of active ingredients or essential oils to formulate a personalized hair mask or conditioner.
Ingredients (INCI): Aqua, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice*, Cetearyl alcohol, Betaine, Coco-glucoside, Butyrospermum parkii butter*, Cocos nucifera oil*, Olea europaea fruit oil*, Helianthus annuus seed oil*, Potassium sorbate, Sodium benzoate, Xanthan gum, Simmondsia chinensis seed oil*, Citric acid, Tocopherol.

Technical Characteristics
- Appearance: Creamy, consistent emulsion, off-white in color, with a characteristic neutral odor.
- Function: Cosmetic hair conditioning base, antistatic agent, emollient, detangling facilitator.
- Additive capacity: Generally allows the addition of ingredients in proportions up to 5%.
Applications
- Classic rinse-off hair conditioners for all hair types.

- Hair conditioning products for sensitive individuals, due to the use of mild surfactants and gentle agents in the composition.
Formulation and Customization Guide
Incorporating additional ingredients into the Conditioner Base must be carried out while respecting stability limits:
- Procedure: The base does not require heating. Additional ingredients should be added at room temperature. Introduce ingredients gradually under slow, continuous stirring until the mixture is completely homogenized. There is no need to add extra preservatives after customizing the base.
- Addition limits: Generally, a total of 1-5% of additional ingredients can be added to the conditioner base, in some cases up to 10%; the optimal percentage depends on the type and solubility of the ingredients. Adding more than 2-3% oils or lipid active ingredients is not recommended.
- Synergies: Hair masks, creams, and conditioners can be prepared and enriched with specific active ingredients such as panthenol, silk protein, rice protein keratin, vege-collagen, vege-keratin, hairbond, hair-protect, maca fortis extract, essential oils of rosemary, sage, ylang-ylang, and others.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it still necessary to add a preservative if I introduce new ingredients into the base?
The original preservative system of the base is robust enough to protect the final product with an addition of up to 10% supplementary ingredients.
Why did it thin out after I added ingredients?
Liquefaction or a drop in the viscosity of the base occurs for two reasons: either the maximum lipid loading capacity was exceeded (too many oils were added), or active ingredients with high ionic strength (electrolytes or concentrated salts) were introduced. Certain additives can disrupt the micellar arrangement within the emulsion. The solution is to limit additives to cumulative percentages under 5% and test compatibility on small test batches.
Safety in Use and Storage
Safety Profile: Stable cosmetic product, non-irritating under normal hair application conditions, and compatible with frequent use.
