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.
