Hi Cherie! Your best bet is to buy a melt and pour base that’s designed for use as shampoo bars.
You can only add a tiny bit of oil to melt and pour soap base or you dampen all of the lather, so it won’t work the same way just to add castor oil to a base.
Wholesale Supplies Plus has a shampoo base:

and Stephenson has one too:

Once you have your shampoo base, you can add rosemary and peppermint essential oils and make some lovely shampoo bars! :)

Do you have a recipe for that? The recipes here on your page are too complicated for me and the material costs are too much for this senior on a very fixed income. So I would like to just stick with commercial melt/pours. Thank you in advance for a recipe that might work for me!
