HOW TO PROPERLY DILUTE YOUR COSMETICS?


Properly diluting your products ensures that you apply cosmetics at optimal concentrations so that they work in the best way!

And unfortunately, for far too many people, it's either a source of stress or a stage they absolutely don't control…

So, with a couple of tips, I suggest you stop guessing and use only the exact amount of each product you need. You'll see, it's simple and ultimately very economical!


For shampoos, please note that each dilution is written on the product sheet on our website; if you have any doubts, go and take a look.

But generally, Special One shampoos are to be diluted at a ratio of 1 to 20.

This is an extremely high dilution, and that is precisely what characterizes professional-grade products.

In practice, when you buy 1 litre of Special One shampoo, it is equivalent to buying 20 litres of ready-to-use finished product.


However, be careful not to prepare all 20 liters at once. It's best to prepare your shampoo daily whenever possible.

Our shampoo tips!
When it comes to shampoos, each time you need to prepare a liter of shampoo, you'll need to mix 50ml of shampoo in 1 liter of water. Since 50ml equals 50g, you can easily weigh it on a kitchen scale. Alternatively, you can round it up and say that this corresponds to about 3 generous tablespoons of shampoo per liter of water.

This is just a guideline, of course! Keep these proportions in mind and only prepare what you actually need. There's no need to prepare a liter if you only need less.
If we follow our logic and we need, for example, half a liter of ready-to-use product, then we will use half as much water with half as much shampoo in it.

Our post-shampoo tips!

Regarding conditioners, the generally recommended dosage is one tablespoon per liter. Whether for Hydrating Cream, Extra Body or even Aqua Dolce, This dilution will be remembered as a good base for all dogs.

Then, feel free to adapt it as you wish:

The more cream you apply, the less you rinse it off.> The more the hair is coated, coated and weighted.

Conversely, the less cream you use, the more you rinse it off…> The lighter, more airy, and more voluminous the hair will be.


Experiment and compare these different dosages, varying from one teaspoon to two tablespoons per liter. Try rinsing only half of the dog's coat; this will allow you to immediately determine what works best for your pet's fur.


Attention, here is the ultimate tip for properly diluting conditioners which, at their base, have a rather solid consistency, a bit like shea butter.

Simply start by adding a little hot water to the cream. Then, vigorously incorporating air will break up any lumps.

To do this, you can choose the technique you like best: either you shake it in a bottle, or you take out your kitchen utensils: whisk, mixer or even blender.

In all cases, it is the incorporation of air into the mixture that will allow you to obtain the perfect consistency.

Then all you have to do is add lukewarm water until you get the total volume needed to soak your dog from skin to tips.

We hope this overview of dilutions has helped and reassured you, and happy grooming.
