Why Choose a Natural Shampoo Bar?
Good for your hair, good for your pocket and great for the planet. Our natural shampoo bars are 100% sulphate free, additive free, palm oil free, cruelty free and plastic free. They're suitable for vegans and made entirely from natural ingredients. Each bar lasts longer than an average bottle of liquid shampoo because we don't add water so a little goes a very long way.
Our bars were developed in the UK by our in-house chemists in partnership with external safety consultants and a hairdressing trainer. They're manufactured in small, waste-free batches in the beautiful market town of Malton, Yorkshire. By choosing a shampoo bar, you're helping to reduce the 36 million plastic bottles used every day in the UK and plastic makes up 80% of beach waste worldwide.
All our packaging is plastic free, either fully recyclable cardboard or made from plant-derived materials. You can also choose to receive your bars completely packaging-free.
Available Fragrances
Our natural shampoo bar comes in three fragrance options, plus a fragrance-free version:
- Fragrance free — extra gentle for sensitive scalps
- Lavender — beautifully calming. Lavender essential oil is also said to help with itchy, flaky scalp. Read customer feedback
- Lemongrass — fresh and energising. Lemongrass essential oil is said to balance excess oil production. Read customer feedback
How to Use Your Shampoo Bar
Build a gentle lather between your hands, then apply to wet hair and scalp as you would a liquid shampoo. Rinse thoroughly and repeat if needed. Use only a small amount; these bars are water free and highly concentrated.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a natural shampoo bar last?
Each 55g bar typically lasts as long as two to three bottles of liquid shampoo. Because our bars are highly concentrated and water-free, you only need a small amount per wash, making them excellent value as well as better for the planet.
Are your shampoo bars suitable for sensitive scalps?
Yes — our fragrance-free formulation is specifically designed for sensitive scalps. All our bars are free from SLS, SLES, sulphates, synthetic additives and palm oil, making them much gentler and more sustainable than most commercial shampoos.
Can I use a shampoo bar in a hard water area?
Yes, though you may need to rinse more thoroughly. A final rinse with diluted cider vinegar (up to 10%), lemon juice or citric acid crystals dissolved in water can help remove any residue and leave hair feeling clean and shiny. See our full switching guide for more tips.
Are your shampoo bars vegan?
Yes — all our shampoo bars are 100% vegan and cruelty free. They contain no animal-derived ingredients and are not tested on animals.
Is there an adjustment period when switching to a shampoo bar?
Some people experience a short adjustment period of 1–4 weeks as their scalp recalibrates after years of detergent-based shampoos. This is completely normal and temporary. Our switching guide explains what to expect and how to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Do you offer a subscription for shampoo bars?
Yes — you can receive your shampoo bars as part of our Sudscription service. You can add, amend or pause your plan at any time after 3 payments have been made. Manage your subscription here.

A lovely shampoo in a bar. Wasn’t sure how it would lather on my hair but was very successful and left my hair feeling soft and bouncy. A decent sized bar so will last a long time.
