Questions
What you ask most often
Do I need an acidic rinse with vinegar or lemon after using a shampoo bar?
No. This is not a soap-based shampoo; it uses mild coconut-derived surfactants, so it does not leave a sticky residue and your hair does not need an acidic rinse.
How long will one shampoo bar last me?
It depends on your hair length, how often you wash it and how much shampoo you apply. A 40 g shampoo bar usually lasts 1 to 2 months.
Is it suitable for travelling?
Yes, it makes a lovely travel companion. It does not count as a liquid; simply place it in an aluminium tin or another suitable wrapper and let it dry after use.
Can I use it on my body too?
Yes. Its gentle formula is suited to cleansing your whole body, and if needed you can even use it to gently hand-wash a small item of clothing.
Does it lather like liquid shampoo?
Yes, it creates an equally rich lather. Glide it over wet hair a few times and the lather forms on its own.
How should I store it to make it last as long as possible?
After use, let it air-dry on a soap dish or in a bowl where it does not sit in water. Keeping the shampoo dry helps it retain its shape and scent much longer.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes. The formula is fully plant-based and contains no animal-derived ingredients.
