What is a Shampoo Bar?

A shampoo bar is essentially the same as regular shampoo, but in a more sustainable form. The main difference is that regular shampoo consists of about 80% water, making it liquid and often packaged in a plastic bottle. A shampoo bar, on the other hand, is solid, requiring minimal packaging and saving a lot of plastic. Shampoo bars are wrapped in biodegradable paper.

With a bar weighing 75 grams, you can wash your hair about 90 times. This means you’ll save 2 to 3 plastic bottles. A shampoo bar is not only cost-effective but also a great step toward sustainability.

Good for the environment and great for your hair! These bars are:

  • Free of sulfates, silicones, and parabens

  • Free of animal-derived ingredients

  • Biodegradable

How to Use a Shampoo Bar

  1. Make sure your hair and hands are wet.

  2. Rub the shampoo bar between your hands or directly onto your wet hair.

  3. Massage the foam thoroughly into your hair.

  4. Rinse the shampoo out of your hair.

  5. Store the shampoo bar in a dry place.

Let your bar dry on a bamboo dish. It’s important that the bar can drain and dry properly. The quicker it dries, the longer it lasts. It might take a little getting used to, but soon you won’t know any different.

Traveling with Your Shampoo Bar

Going on holiday nearby or flying abroad? Big suitcase, small suitcase, or backpack? Your favorite shampoo bar can come along. It’s compact, solid, and takes up little space. Plus, since it doesn’t contain any liquids, it’s allowed in your carry-on luggage. You can store it in a handy, compact travel tin.

Broken Doesn't Mean Useless

You can still use a broken shampoo bar. But how, you ask?
Simply gather the pieces and place them in a muslin washcloth. Secure the top with a small elastic band. Wet the washcloth and use it to rub the shampoo onto your hair. This way, you can use every last bit of the bar.

Give Nature a Helping Hand!

Hopefully, after reading this blog, you’re inspired to take action against all that plastic waste. On average, each person uses about 165 kg of plastic per year, and globally, 311 million tons of plastic are produced annually. We can’t ignore it anymore – something needs to change. With these shampoo bars, you’re taking a step in the right direction!
