Boiling the shampoo for 15 minutes does not make any sense. These are essential oils and will be largely or completely vaporized. Further putting a large amount of essential oils into your kitchen could put you at risk for allergic reaction. Use caution and simply warm to mix well.

Hi Stef,

The boiling is used to draw out the essential oils in the herbs, so doing it for 15 minutes will help with the extraction. Fixed oils will not evaporate easily, you will need very high temperatures to do so. Boiling for 15 minutes will not be enough for them to vaporize.

Thanks for your input and we hope this has been helpful.
