Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 > Hi > > When making lotions and shampoo what is the benefit of using distilled and deionised water over normal water that is boiled. > Tap water contains metal ions such as iron. Iron can catalyze oxidation of your oils to make them go rancid, as well as cause discoloration of certain ingredients. Deionized water does not contain these ions.
