Internet users are intrigued by a pair of elderly women who are handcrafting and selling their kaffir lime shampoo. The duo’s distinctive labelling of their product has caught the attention of netizens, suggesting a counterfeit if the sticker is aligned properly.

 

On January 7, TikTok user @kanthikanuch shared a clip of the two old ladies making the herbal shampoo from scratch, including the meticulous process of sticking labels onto the bottles. The post read, “The queue is long until the end of the year. One day of production, two weeks to stick the stickers.”

 

In the video, one of the old ladies is seen filling bottles with freshly made shampoo and then carefully applying the brand’s sticker onto each bottle. However, the highlight of the product is not the quality of the shampoo alone but the labels on the bottles. Each sticker applied by the old ladies is never aligned perfectly. They are either upside down, tilted to the left or right, or have additional pieces of the sticker adhering. The other old lady continues her work while resting and occasionally eating coconut jelly. This unique production process has amused internet users, who joke that any bottle with a perfectly aligned sticker must be a fake, reported Khao Sod.

Wouldn't touch it with a 40 foot pole, who knows what base shampoo soap they are using and what kaffir is doing to your

skin, not every home made stuff is ok to digest or use on your skin...

Try Google :

One of the less well-known applications of Thai kaffir lime juice and leaves is in the hair. You can apply decoctions and mixtures to the scalp and hair to slow the onset of male pattern baldness and strengthen the follicles of the hair.

Yes I wondered this myself, because they could make one hell of a killing with this "shampoo" if they were to buy industrial washing-up liquid in very large containers, very cheaply, then mix it with the kaffir lime and on sell the product........just a thought!

Yes If it was manufactured under supervision and strict guidelines, put together in someone's  back yard somewhere

in the jungle? No thanks...

Looks like they pissed in it. 

Watch the clip. 

Have a look at them putting labels on the bottles.

Could be a bit of a quality control issue there. 

 

But good luck to them.

I'm sure it has the full backing after intense testing with the FDA administration.

Two elderly women? One of them looks very much like a MAN.
