Cruelty Free
Cruelty Free is a certification process through PETA that labels products that are not tested on animals. All companies that are included on PETA’s cruelty-free list have signed a statement verifying that they don’t use ingredients or create finished products that help conduct or pay for any tests on animals.
Paraben Free
Parabens are synthetic chemical preservatives, commonly used in beauty products like shampoo, lotion, and deodorants. Parabens can accumulate in your body, and have been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive problems. In studies of breast cancer patients, parabens have been found in the tissue of cancerous tumors–yikes! If you want to avoid Parabens in your beauty products, keep an eye out for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben in the ingredients list.
Phthalate Free
Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.
Sulfate Free
Sulfates are synthetic chemical ingredients commonly used in beauty products and household cleaners, like shampoos and dish soaps. You can usually identify sulfates in an ingredients list by looking out for the most common types: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLC) and Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES). These chemicals, often derived from petroleum, are used to help form the “lather” we’re used to seeing in our beauty and cleaning products. When used in the shower or sink, these chemicals can flow through the pipes and into our waterways. Synthetic sulfates have been linked to allergic reactions, eye and skin irritation, and hair loss, and some studies suggest they contain carcinogenic ingredients.

My husband has oily hair and we’ve been on a search to find a shampoo bar that does the job and this one is almost a perfect 10. It gets his hair clean and leaves no residue however the smell is off putting for him, after rinsing it’s fine though. If the scent was better or unscented if would be a 10.

Ok, I have been searching for a low waste shampoo for a long time, and had almost given up hope. I tried this, with low expectations, and was blown away! My hair feels clean, and doesn’t feel greasy until mid-day on day 4 (I wash my hair every 4 days) and it feels like my hair dries quicker. My only concern is that it leaves my hair a little dry and slightly frizzy at the top of my hair, but I’m hoping that the matching conditioner will clear that up.

I really like this product. My only complaint is that you have to make sure it dries inbetween uses or it gets slimy.

This bar seems to work well so far. It does not always lather up as much as I’d like, but it does so more than some shampoo bars might. I like the smell, but don’t LOVE it. (I have other scents that I prefer.) My hair does seem dry right now, but I’ve been alternating between this and a medicated shampoo, so it is likely not the fault of the bar. The shape is cute too – still waiting to reserve judgment on how convenient it feels long term.

I liked it. I just need to show the kids how to use it now. It takes a bit to lather; the instructions say put directly on your hair…but I’m going to try doing it my hands first, which others say works well. I’ve used it only once, but so far am happy with it. I wish I had tried it sooner before wasting so much plastic. Also, if the color is turning you off (b/c it seems bright and dyed in the photo), it’s much softer in person.
