SOLID SHAMPOO WITH EXTRA FOAM FOR OILY HAIR

WITH SPIRULINA AND GREEN CLAY

This formula is made with extra foam, for those starting to use natural products or for a deep cleansing, specially when applying other non natural products in the hair. The mixture of the selected powders allows the removal of the excess grease. For a more sensitive formula try our ayurvedic shampoo for oily hair.

WHAT IS A LOW PH SHAMPOO

Contrary to a cold process soap (with a pH around 9) which is sometimes used as a shampoo, our solid shampoo has a pH between 5 to 6, closer to our skin and hair pH (4 to 5.5).
It has the ability to clean the hair keeping the pH at an optimal level. It creates less negative static electricity on the fiber surface, resulting on a more healthy hair with less frizz.

In order to promote the cleaning properties of the shampoo we use plant-based surfactants (they aren’t directly taken from nature like the surfactants created in the soap but they aren’t synthetic like the sulfates found in conventional products). The plant-based surfactants that we include in all our formulas are coming from the coconut oil (SCI, SCS and SLSA). They are all biodegradable, without parabens, other preservatives or harmful sulfates and are certified for natural cosmetic, allowing the formulations of mild products, with some amount of foam but not aggressive for our skin and hair.

WHY IS SOLID SHAMPOO MORE SUSTAINABLE

The solid shampoo avoids the use of plastic containers and is more travel friendly, specially using our cork travel box.
It uses less water in their production, making it highly concentrated and equivalent to multiple bottled liquid shampoos, that normally includes around 80% water in their formula.
It also means that you only need to use a small amount every time you wash your hair, so your solid shampoo will last longer. Is normally enough for 3 to 5 months, depending on how many times is used.

HOW TO USE

The shampoo can be used the same way you would use a soap:

1.Wet the shampoo bar
2.Rub it on the hands to make some foam or directly on the hair.
3.After using the shampoo always leave it hanged to dry or on top of a sponge. This step is very important to guarantee the right preservation of the shampoo, if it stays with water it might go bad after a few weeks.

Suggestion for conditioning the hair after shampooing: Rinse with apple cider vinegar diluted in water (1:5) to restore the hair pH. Let it work for a few minutes and wash off with water.
