Natural Sulfate-Free Shampoo Development

I am developing a professional-grade shampoo specifically for dry, damaged hair and I need a skilled formulator to turn my concept into a stable, market-ready product. The brief is clear: every ingredient must be natural, organically sourced where possible, and completely free of sulfates and parabens.

The end result should cleanse gently, replenish moisture, and strengthen weakened strands without leaving a heavy residue. I am open to your suggestions on plant-based actives or vitamin complexes that complement the core requirements, provided they align with clean-beauty standards.

To move forward, I will need:
• A complete formula with INCI names, percentage weights, and a brief rationale for each component.
• Step-by-step manufacturing procedure, including critical temperatures, pH targets, and mixing order.
• Preservative and fragrance strategy that remains within natural or nature-identical boundaries.
• Stability and performance test recommendations so I can verify shelf life before scaling.

Please include any previous work with clean, sulfate-free haircare and let me know which lab equipment and software you will use for calculations and small-batch trials. Delivery of the first draft recipe within one week is ideal, with room for two rounds of adjustments based on lab feedback.
