Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable for all hair types?
Yes. The shampoo bar is gentle and suitable for regular use on all hair types. The conditioner bar is particularly beneficial for dry, colour-treated or frizzy hair, but works well as an everyday conditioner for all hair types.
How do I use a solid shampoo bar?
Wet your hair thoroughly, then rub the bar directly onto your scalp or lather it between your palms first. Massage into the scalp, work through the lengths and rinse well. There can be a short adjustment period of a week or two when switching from liquid shampoo -- this is normal and passes quickly.
How do I use the conditioner bar?
After shampooing, soften the roundel briefly under warm water, then rub it between your palms to create a thin, even layer. Work this sparingly through your hair, concentrating on the dry ends and avoiding the roots.
Important: a little goes a very long way. This is a rich, highly concentrated product -- the most common mistake is using too much, which can leave hair feeling heavy. Used correctly, one small roundel should last as long as a full bottle of conventional conditioner. Conventional conditioners are mostly water; this one is not.
Is this set vegan?
Yes, 100% vegan. All ingredients are plant-derived. No beeswax, no lanolin, no animal-derived ingredients of any kind.
Is this cruelty free?
Absolutely and unconditionally. We never test on animals, we never commission third parties to do so on our behalf, and we refuse to export to countries where animal testing is mandatory for the sale of cosmetics.
Is the shampoo bar suitable for people with nut allergies?
No. The shampoo bar contains sweet almond oil and is not suitable for anyone with a nut allergy. If you have a nut allergy and are looking for an alternative, please contact us at customers@cosycottagesoap.co.uk and we will advise.

Good.
Thank you, Peter. Best wishes!
The products are very nice but are a little smaller than i expected
Soap and conditioner bars smell gorgeous but I’m still trying to get used to using it and used to my hair being cleansed properly as it’s been extremely greasy since use. I’m hoping it’s all part of the cleanse 👍. But it froths up well!
This product arrived quickly and was great value for money. I have ordered more shampoo bars as they are great and really help to reduce waste. They are great for the environment too
Sam, many thanks for this review. We are delighted that you were pleased with the set. Best wishes
