Cocoa Captivation Hair and Body Conditioner

I really missed sharing my formulations with you but hopefully, I’ll be able to post 1-to 2 per week again. Who is excited? I know I am🧡.

We will start with a simple but gorgeous nonetheless Cocoa Captivation Hair &Body Conditioner. It is enriched with soothing Panthenol, deeply moisturizing cocoa butter, conditioning and softening Wheatquat and, the star of this hair-loving formulation is VitHaar complex.

VitHaar (VitHair) -is a mixture of amino acids of wheat and rice proteins combined with Biotin that is shown amazing properties in retaining moisture, sealing split ends, and softening the skin.
INCI - Aqua, Alcohol den., Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Oryza sativa Extract, Phenethyl Alcohol, Serine, Citric Acid, Biotin.

We are going to use BTMS-50 as our emulsifier because of its conditioning and smoothing abilities. Glycerine is a lovely humectant and this versatile ingredient is also very easy to find so it is definitely worth buying and using in your formulations.

I am also adding Cetyl Alcohol to thicken the conditioner a little bit. If you want a thinner product you can reduce the amount of Cetyl Alcohol and/or BTMS-50.
