How big are the shampoo bars and how long do they last?
The shampoo bars are 3oz and last around 75 washes, depending on your hair length.
They last so long because they are made with 100% concentrated ingredients. Whereas bottled shampoo is 80% water.
How do I store them?
Make sure to keep your bars away from water between washes. You want them to dry completely.
This will help them last as long as possible.
Are the shampoo bars PH balanced?
The pH of the bars is almost perfect and is around 7.0.
Do you use sulfates?
Our shampoo & conditioner bars are 100% SLS-free.
They do contain Sodium Coco Sulfate which is a mild cleanser that comes from coconuts and is what makes the bars lather. It's made from the fatty acid of coconuts, not petroleum like SLS's.
Are they handmade and where?
All of our bars are handmade in the U.S.A.
Are they gluten-free?
Our bars do contain wheat germ oil, but the good news is that wheat germ oil is considered gluten-free.
This is because gluten isn't oil-soluble, so it gets naturally separated from the oil during the cold-pressing process - meaning no gluten makes it into the final ingredient.
That said, if you have coeliac disease or a severe gluten sensitivity - please do a patch test first to ensure you're totally fine to use them.
What do you use to color your bars?
Our bars are 100% natural - so we use natural clay to give the bars their wonderful vibrant color.
What packaging do you use?
The labels are sugarcane and the wrap is made of plant fibers. All the packaging is 100% compostable and biodegradable.
How do I use them?
Shampoo: Just lather in the bath or shower and give your hair a good wash.
Conditioner: We recommend using them all over the hair, even on your scalp. Some people are hesitant to do this because they have an oily scalp but the bars re-balance your scalp oils over time.
I have a nut allergy. Are there traces of nuts in the bars?
Even though the bars do not contain nuts as a key ingredients (except coconut), there are crushed walnut and almonds in our vegan kitchen.
Therefore, we would not recommend these bars for anyone with a nut allergy because of the cross contamination that may happen within the facilities.
I have an allergy to scents - what bar can I use?
We’ve recently launched a new Unscented option specifically for people who are allergic to scents and essential oils.
