10 Homemade Shampoo Bar Recipes
The shampoo bar is a real alternative to commercial cosmetics. Want to trade your liquid shampoos for an ecological shampoo, natural and without packaging? Adopt a shampoo bar and make it easy at home.
The Benefits Of Making A Shampoo Bar
Practical – shampoo bars are lightweight, take up little space and are easy to carry. On the other hand, they are suitable for the whole family.
Healthy – We have control over the composition and ingredients: no paraben, no sulfates, and no silicone. They adapt to all types of hair and, depending on their composition, even make it possible to do without a conditioner.
Eco-Friendly – No more polluting plastic bottles! We participate in Zero-waste.
Economical – In most cases, a shampoo bar represents the equivalent of 3 bottles of liquid shampoo or about 80 washes. A 100g bread can indeed last several months and its cost does not exceed 3 euros.
