Hair & Nail Care Frequently Asked Questions

  Hair Care – General Questions  
  Can I make shampoo from scratch?

It is extremely difficult to make shampoo from scratch. It is generally made in a commercial facility.

What makes a liquid soap good as a shampoo?

Liquid shampoo is often too harsh for hair care.

How is the Crafter’s Choice Shampoo Base different than shower gel?

The Crafter’s Choice Shampoo Base has been formulated for hair care. The pH is slightly different than a traditional shower gel.

What are common additives incorporated into shampoo?

The most popular additives are the Crafter’s Choice Pearlizer and Silk Amino Acids.

Is it possible to make an “all natural” shampoo?

To my knowledge it is not possible to make a good all natural shampoo that would meet the needs of most consumers. The Crafter’s Choice Shampoo Base is Paraben Free.

What is the best way to make a good hair conditioner?

The Crafter’s Choice Hair Conditioner Concentrate is considered the best on the market. It is easy to use and feels fabulous in the hair.

What oil would you recommend to use a scalp moisturizer?

Castor oil is well regarded as being a great scalp moisturizer. Jojoba oil is also popular because it doesn’t leave a greasy feel to the scalp.

 
     
  Nail Care – General Questions  
  What type of oils are best incorporated into a cuticle cream?

Jojoba Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Mineral Oil and Lanolin are all popular ingredients in cuticle creams.

What is the best size to supply a cuticle cream?

I find that cuticle creams supplied in 1/2 to 2 oz sizes are most popular.

I would like to make a home pedicure hit. What would you include?

I would include bath salts, a pedicure brush, foot cream and cotton socks. Try adding a few colors of nail polish purchased in the closeout section of the dollar store. Look for a simple bucket and wrap with fancy paper. Call the gift set the “Totally Pampering Spa Experience”. Great for teen sleep over parties!!

I used a flavor fragrance in my lip gloss. How do I list it on the ingredient label?

The amount of flavor used will determine where it is placed on the ingredient label. You will use the term “flavor” as the ingredient name.
