Diy homemade hair lotion

Hi, i want to create a lotion, combining water soluble herbs and roots with some oils like emu, etc, i wanted to add a good number of ingredients, about 20 herbs and roots that supposed to help with hair loss, I will obtain the water solution mix by infusion, in order to combine the water and oil mix i would need a emulsifier, i will also need a preservative.

Does anyone know the best natural emulsifier and preservative that i can use to my formula?

Thanks.

Polysorbate 80 is a decent emulsifier.
Preservative - grapefruitseed extact

Thanks.

Mexco: when you have a chance, please share the "recipe" you came up with...

thanks!

I use:
*500ml of olive oil
*40g of cayenne pepper
*A lot of fresh rosemary and dried rosemary
*few table spoons of zinc sulfate

I will update in a few months...

Here is most of the herbs that i will use for my infusion, i will use around 28 herbs, plus some vitamins, etc.
It will use the tradicional Mexican Molcajete to crush all the stuff then i will put them into the glass jar and then put some destiled boiled water into it, in a different jar i will do another cold mix using aloe, honey, some chiles, ginger, vitamins, polysorbate 80, apple vinegar, etc, then when the infusion gets cold enough i will mix everything.
All the herbs, roots and seeds are raw. Some of the herbs and chiles are not very easy to get.


I will upload more pictures next week with the steps and all the ingredients that im using.

Wow Mexco! Hope all goes well for you...

Here are some pics:
