Shampoo Bar

A handcrafted shampoo bar made with castor oil, jojoba oil, beeswax, and tallow, with rosemary, lemon, and lavender essential oils. A compact option for home or travel.

How to use

Thoroughly wet your hair and the bar. Work up a lather between your hands, or gently glide the wet bar over your hair a few times. Massage the lather into your scalp with your fingertips, then rinse thoroughly. Start with a small amount and add more only if needed.

Use a separate conditioner after each wash if your hair needs it, focusing on the lengths and ends. Adjust how often you condition to suit your hair. An acid rinse is optional, not a required step after every wash. If you choose one, use a product intended for hair and follow its directions for dilution and frequency; do not apply undiluted vinegar or acids.

Hard water & adjusting your routine

Hard-water minerals can contribute to buildup and a waxy or coated feel, particularly with soap-based bars. If you notice residue, try using less product and rinsing thoroughly. Persistent mineral buildup may call for an occasional chelating shampoo formulated for hard water, used according to its label. Conditioner or an acid rinse is not a guaranteed fix.

Experiences when switching shampoo vary with hair type, previous products, and water hardness. There is no fixed transition period, and persistent waxiness is not something you need to wait out. Adjust your routine or choose a different cleanser if the bar does not suit your hair. Stop using it if irritation occurs.

Between washes

Let the bar dry fully on a well-draining soap dish, away from standing water and direct shower spray. Allow it to dry before packing it in a travel container.
