Why Shampoo Bars Are Better for You, and the Planet🌍

Switching to a shampoo bar can make a real difference for both your health and the environment.

1. Better for the Environment🐬

🌍Less Plastic Pollution

Over 90% of plastic is NOT recycled (because it CANNOT be recycled) and ends up in landfills or the ocean. Sources 1, 2, 3.  Shampoo bars = Less plastic polluting our oceans and killing wildlife🐳

🌍Smaller Carbon Footprint

• Shampoo bars are smaller & lighter which means less carbon emissions from transport vehicles🚚
• Liquid shampoos are detergents—synthetic cleansers derived from the petrochemical industry. Plastics are also made from the petrochemical industry.🛢️Sources 1, 2.

2. Better For Your Health

🚿Plastic-Free Protects Your Health

🧪Plastics are made with hormone-disrupting chemicals that can leach into the products they contain. Sources 1, 2. 

🧪All plastic bottles shed and break down into microplastic and nano-plastic particles that end up in our drinking water and in our bodies. Sources 1, 2.

🚿Fewer Ingredients → Fewer Hidden Chemicals 

🧪Liquid shampoos have more ingredients because they contain water, which means they must add preservative chemicals like parabens.⚠️ Not good! 

🌱Fewer ingredients in shampoo bars means you're less likely to be exposed to toxins and hormone disruptors. 

🚿Shampoo Bar = Less Clutter in your Shower

🚿Simplify your life!

3. Better for Your Hair

Real Soap, Not Harsh Detergents → Happier Hair, Healthier Scalp

🧪Liquid shampoos are detergents, synthetic cleansers that can dry out your hair and scalp. These shampoos rely on synthetic moisturizers to mitigate the drying effects of detergents. These synthetic moisturizers are hormone disruptors.⚠️ Sources 1, 2.

🌱Our shampoo bars are real soap (made from plant oils) which gently cleans without stripping natural oils, and without chemical additives. So your hair feels softer, your scalp stays balanced, and there's less need for conditioner.

4. Perfect for Travel → No Spills, No TSA Hassle

✈️Shampoo bars are lightweight and leak-free—ideal for traveling. 

✈️Soap bars & shampoo bars are TSA-Approved for carry-ons and checked bags.🧳
