    Input on recipe needed

    it is best to create a shampoo from COCO betaine , alos 40 , cocomide dea. these are safe.. or any other PH neutral Base our shampoos need to be a PH 4.5 to 5 dogs 6.5 to 7.5. so creating a liquid shampoos is safer you can lower and increase ph while testing with ph strip.
