Rice Shampoo Bars
Rice Shampoo Bars
Anointed Aromas shampoo bars effectively clean hair because of the carefully chosen combination of oils, stearic acid, and lye, which create a balanced, cleansing, and nourishing product through the process of saponification. Here’s a breakdown of how these ingredients contribute:
Cleansing and Lathering
• Coconut Oil: Provides excellent cleansing power, removing dirt, oils, and buildup from hair. It also contributes to a bubbly and foamy lather.
• Castor Oil: Enhances lather and creates a creamy texture that spreads easily through the hair.
Moisturizing and Conditioning
• Rice Bran Oil and Olive Oil: These oils are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, gently cleansing while providing nourishment and hydration.
• Jojoba Oil: Mimics the natural oils of the scalp, helping to moisturize without leaving residue.
Structural Support and Stability
• Lard: Adds hardness to the bar, ensuring it lasts longer. It also contains natural fatty acids that contribute to conditioning properties.
• Stearic Acid: Strengthens the bar’s structure and enhances its creaminess and smooth application.
Nourishment and Preservation
• Vitamin E: Acts as an antioxidant, protecting the oils in the bar from rancidity while also nourishing the scalp and hair.
Saponification Process
• Lye (Sodium Hydroxide): Reacts with the oils during saponification, transforming them into soap and glycerin. This process removes the lye, leaving behind a safe, gentle product that effectively cleanses without harsh chemicals.
This carefully curated formula ensures the shampoo bars clean effectively while nourishing and protecting the hair and scalp. The result is clean, soft, and manageable hair with no harsh residues.
