Shampoo bars are growing in popularity for several reasons. Not only are they convenient for travel, but they are better for the environment since they require much less packaging than bottled shampoo. As a matter of fact, shampoo bars used to be the norm before bottled shampoo came around in the 1940s.

Essentially shampoo bars are similar to soap bars, but they are created with nourishing ingredients like essential oils to keep your hair strong and healthy. If you’re just learning about them now, we are going to share with you four reasons why you should make the switch from traditional bottled shampoo to shampoo bars.

Made with natural ingredients

Bottled shampoos are filled with chemicals and fragrances that can irritate your skin or cause allergies to flare up. Our shampoo bars are crafted with natural ingredients (our ingredients are 100% Canadian) so they gently cleanse your hair while providing your scalp with ultra hydration. They are also safe for kids to use because the ingredients are gentle enough to use on sensitive skin. You can achieve shiny, healthy hair without using a shampoo that is formulated with formaldehyde, propylene glycol, and sodium hydroxide.

They are Long-Lasting

You can expect your shampoo bar to be used for 70+ washes, depending on how long your hair is. That’s at around twice as long as a bottle of shampoo would last. Because they are good for all hair types your entire household can use them, so you don’t need to buy specially formulated shampoo for kids, coloured hair, curly hair, or any other types of hair.

Shampoo Bars are Very Convenient

Have you ever dropped your shampoo bottle and smashed the lid on it? Or have you fought to open a really stiff lid on a bottle before? With a shampoo bar, you don’t have to worry about getting frustrated anymore. Since they are stored just like a bar of soap in the shower they are very convenient to use and travel with! You can take them with you in a small tin container, and they also won’t leak all over your luggage like a bottle of shampoo might — if that’s ever happened to you then you know what a nightmare it is!!

Another convenient feature about using a shampoo bar is they take up very little space in your shower. It’s easy for your shower to get cluttered with different products, especially if you have multiple people in your household. Shampoo bars just take up a tiny footprint, so your shower conveniently stays neat and tidy.

Shampoo Bars are Environmentally Friendly

Probably one of the greatest reasons to use a shampoo bar is the fact that they produce so much less waste than liquid shampoo bottles. Since they last longer you aren’t throwing the packaging away as often. Our shampoo bars are also wrapped in biodegradable packaging because we take great pride in being environmentally conscious. The shampoo bars themselves are also free of chemicals that are harmful to waterways and animals. This makes them great to use when you’re at your cottage and need to take a bath in the lake.

Make the switch to shampoo bars

As the demand for environmentally-friendly hygiene products grows shampoo bars are becoming much more popular. They are a great way to nourish your hair naturally while eliminating shampoo bottle waste.
