Mini vodic za cuvanje i produzenje roka trajanja prirodnog neutralnog sampona (Mini guide for storing and extending the shelf life of natural neutral shampoo)

Prirodni neutralni sampon

(za blagu bazu za domace sampone)

1. Sterilna priprema

- Sve posude i kašike koje koristiš operi vrelom vodom i dobro osuši.

- Pre sipanja, možeš prokuvati vodu i ohladiti je – to smanjuje bakterije.

- Kastilj sapun, glicerin i ulja neka budu sveža i kvalitetna.

2. Čuvanje

- Sipaj šampon u tamnu bočicu sa poklopcem (staklo ili kvalitetna plastika).

- Drži ga na hladnom i tamnom mestu, npr. u kupatilu daleko od grejalica ili direktnog sunčevog svetla.

- Koristi čistu kašičicu ili pumpicu pri dozi da ne unosiš bakterije rukama.

3. Produženje roka trajanja

A) Prirodni konzervansi:

- 10–15 kapi ekstrakta semena grejpfruta na 100 ml baze, ili 

- sorbinska kiselina po uputstvu na pakovanju (prirodan konzervans za kozmetiku)

- Vitamin E: 5–10 kapi na 100 ml – deluje kao antioksidans i pomaže ulju da ne užegne.

4. Trajanje

- Bez dodatnih konzervansa: 2 nedelje.

- Sa prirodnim konzervansima: 6 nedelja.

5. Održavanje svežine

- Nemoj sipati vodu u bočicu sa ostatkom baze – povećava rizik od kvarenja.

- Ako primetiš miris užeglog, promenjenu boju ili zamućenje, odmah baci.

Natural neutral shampoo

(for a mild base for homemade shampoos)

1. Sterile preparation

- Wash all the bowls and spoons you use with hot water and dry well.

- Before pouring, you can boil water and cool it - this reduces bacteria.

- Castile soap, glycerin and oils should be fresh and of good quality.

2. Keeping

- Pour the shampoo into a dark bottle with a lid (glass or high-quality plastic).

- Keep it in a cool and dark place, e.g. in the bathroom away from heaters or direct sunlight.

- Use a clean spoon or pump when dosing so you don't introduce bacteria with your hands.

3. Extension of shelf life

A) Natural preservatives:

- 10–15 drops of grapefruit seed extract per 100 ml of base, or

- sorbic acid according to the instructions on the package (natural preservative for cosmetics) 

- Vitamin E: 5-10 drops per 100 ml of base - acts as an antioxidant and helps the oil not to go rancid.

4. Shelf life 

- Without additional preservatives: 2 weeks.

- With natural preservatives: 6 weeks.

5. Maintaining freshness

- Do not pour water into the bottle with the rest of the base - it increases the risk of spoilage.

- If you notice a rancid smell, change in color or cloudiness, throw it away immediately.
