Method
Add phase A into a disinfected glass beaker and sprinkle the guar gum into the water, mix well to avoid the formation of lumps. Add phase B into a separate beaker and heat to 150F/65C to melt the peg-150 distearate. Combine phase A and B and stir. Add phase C to phase A/B when the shampoo has cooled below 100F/40C, then stir again.

Properties
Jojoba Protein forms a hydroscopic film on the hair and retains moisture, adds shine and luster as well. Provitamin B5 moisturizes, adds shine and reduces split ends. Cationic Guar gum adds conditioning properties to the shampoo. Sulfosuccinate and coco betaine are very mild surfactants.
