This is not just your hip *shampoo in a bar* product, we go further than that. You won't find any harsh detergents, alcohols, sulfates, fragrances or parabens in this zero-waste, zero-toxins bar as it is made with certified organic ingredients that balance and cleanse while boosting the growth of healthy, shiny locks. 

Let's dive into a few reasons why we believe so strongly in this small but mighty addition to your hair care and bathing routine:

Our shampoo bar...

  • Promotes hair growth. The first step to growing the long and thick hair of your dreams is to create a growth-friendly environment. With soothing & antibacterial Lavender and oil-balancing Chamomile essential oils, this bar will gently balance and cleanse the scalp while naturally increasing nutrient availability to your follicles.
  • Slows premature aging. The human body is a gift that shields us from harm and protects against the general wear-and-tear effects of being alive. With the abundant antioxidants of cold-pressed Neem oil and strengthening Carrot in this little bar, you'll be armed with an all-natural arsenal for supporting your body as it counters free radicals and repeated exposure to UV rays, dry air and friction. Bye-bye, hair fall, lackluster and split ends and hellooo bright strong beautiful locks!
  • Boosts shine and manageability. Unlike the conventional shampoo that strips your hair of its lustrous oils, leaving a dry, fragile nest in its wake, this bar cleanses & clarifies while re-introducing essential fatty acids and moisturizing botanical oils for hydration and shine. With a Certified Organic base of Olive, Coconut and non-GMO Soybean oils, this shampoo will leave your hair feeling sleek, shiny and happy to cooperate with your every desire.
  • Organic Shikakai. A traditional ayurvedic herb remedy for healthy, long hair, it is replete with antioxidants, which help fight free-radicals damaging your hair and scalp. Shikakai is also rich in vitamins like C, A, E and K and other micronutrients that heal infections, promote shine & (not like we care:) slows down the greying process.
  • Kaolin Clay. Just a touch of this in our Pure Shampoo Bar pulls dirt and toxins from the hair and scalp and helps balance the excess build up of oils in your locks.
  • Organic Horsetail. This local herb that grows prolifically along our Pescadero hiking trails and meandering creeks contains a high content of silica, a nutrient associated with collagen that promotes the strengthening, elasticity and resistance of hair. this results, of course, in: the reduction of hair loss, the strengthening of the hair follicles, new hair growth and supreme vitality to your crown of glory! But wait, there's more: in addition to silica, horsetail is also rich in selenium and cysteine, both substances recognized for promoting healthy hair growth.
  • Organic Licorice Root is beneficial for hair because it contains compounds that soothe the scalp, reduce dandruff, and help in maintaining scalp health, potentially promoting healthier hair growth. Another boon for promoting hair re-growth and reducing hair loss!
  • Is lighter than most. I have fine (aka thin) hair and the usual shampoo bar was way to heavy, leaving my hair swampy, for lack of a better word. So I concocted and created, trialed and tested and came up with this bar of bliss. I use organic and of course non GMO Soybean Oil which is not only a light oil, it will keep hair naturally healthy, shiny and soft. Included in the pure shampoo bar is Perilla, also beautifully light. It is a rich source of antioxidants, COQ10 and has natural antiseptic qualities making it an excellent treatment for imbalances on the scalp. It aids the washing away of impurities and chemicals that dry out and damage the hair and renourishes with moisture and nutrients to bring it back to life.

And, due to the spectacular ingredient list, there is no reason you cannot use this cleansing bar on your beautiful body. Shine away!
