Good for your hair, good for your pocket and GREAT for the planet, our popular 55g natural shampoo bars are now available in lavender or lemongrass essential oil fragrances in addition to the fragrance free version. 

The 55g shampoo bars are 100% sulphate free, additive free, palm oil free, cruelty free, plastic free, they're suitable for vegans and 100% natural. All our packaging is plastic free; either fully recyclable cardboard or made from plant derived materials. Alternatively you may choose to receive your shampoo bars free from any packaging.

You can read about making the transition to our natural, detergent free shampoo bars here, where you'll find out what to expect when using a natural shampoo bar.

We manufacture our products in small, waste-free batches in the beautiful market town of Malton, Yorkshire in the UK.

These shampoo bars can help to reduce the 36 million plastic bottles used EVERY DAY in the UK because they completely eliminate the need for plastic packaging. Plastic makes up 80% of the waste found on beaches around the world and over 300,000 tonnes of debris that floats in our oceans.

Each shampoo bar lasts longer than your average bottle of shampoo as we do not add water to our products. You will find you need much less than high street detergent-based shampoos; a little goes a very long way.

Our natural shampoo bar now comes in three fragrance options:

- The original fragrance-free formulation is extra gentle for sensitive scalps

- The lemongrass essential oil fragranced variation smells fresh and energizing. Lemongrass essential oil is said to balance excess oil production - we've had some great feedback from our trial bars and you can read it here 

- The lavender essential oil fragranced version smells beautiful, relaxing and calming. Lavender essential oil is said to help with itchy, flaky scalp - we've had some great feedback from our trial bars and you can read it here 

You will find you don't need as much product as liquid, detergent-based  shampoos to clean your hair. Simply lather the solid shampoo bar in your hands and then apply to your hair as you would a liquid shampoo, before rinsing out very thoroughly and repeating.
