For shampoo that is no frills, unscented, no gimmicks, no sulfates and is just good, look no further.
If you have never tried a shampoo soap bar (or even if you have), now is the time to try ours!
I started making my own shampoo bars after becoming allergic to chemical additives and running out of safe pre-made options. I fell in love and have not looked back.
Our shampoo is formulated with apple cider vinegar for the balance your hair needs.
Ingredients:
Regular: apple cider vinegar, sodium hydroxide, olive oil, canola oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, sunflower oil.
Dry: apple cider vinegar, sodium hydroxide, olive oil, canola oil, cocoa butter, castor oil, sunflower oil, avocado oil.
Oily: Distilled water, sodium hydroxide, olive oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, apple cider vinegar.
A few words about your new shampoo
#1 Trust the Process
If after the first few tries you don’t like it, give it a few more.
There is often a transition period that can take as little as a few days to a few weeks or possibly months. While I don’t expect you to stick it out for months, I do recommend to really try it. Try to refrain from reaching for the old stuff. It can restart the process. Give it a chance.
Sometimes, if hair has had synthetic detergents like sulfates, dimethicone or other added chemicals it takes time to wash them off. These chemicals cling to the hair and some people have even reported a greasy, waxy, sometimes even a “peeling” “gummy” type of happening. Don’t be alarmed. (It is really difficult not to be!) The synthetics are there to “create” a “healthy shine” by coating the hair, and they need to go.
To kickstart the transition process you can mix a couple teaspoons of baking soda to 2 cups of water and pour over your hair, massaging it in. This can help remove the synthetic chemicals. Do this only once and avoid if you have colored or treated hair. Also do not over wash during the process, remember there is no fast fix.
#2 Acid vs Alkaline
Some people are concerned that “soap” used as shampoo is too alkaline, Some people say to throw that theory out the window.
I use apple cider vinegar in the soaping process and extra at the end.
If you wish to use a cider vinegar rinse after shampooing you are more than welcome. I recommend 25/75 vinegar to water ratio (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) and leave it a few minutes as you finish your routine then a cool, thorough, plain water rinse. Do not leave the vinegar in your hair.
#3 A word about oily hair.
The shampoo for oily hair is made using water and apple cider vinegar together to help reduce free oils on the hair and scalp. Also, oily hair may take a slight longer to adjust to your new shampoo. One must remember that when we use chemicals to strip the oils it also tells your body to make more. The scalp needs to recognize that the chemical stripping is no longer a thing.
Another helpful hint is to try rubbing the bar directly on the hair, especially in hard water or extra oily hair situations.
Sometimes we also just need to wash twice.
No sulfates, no phthalates, no SLS, no dyes, no mica, no aloe, allergy conscious, and always unscented.
To use; lather, rinse, repeat if necessary.

Let customers speak for us
Tried this bar on our 70 lb pitbull who absolutely hates bath time. It took no time for her to get covered with bubbles. Very easy to apply on the coat and the skin. Regular shampoo we have been using took forever to rinse off, but this one is a different story. We were done in about 5 minutes. Pouting afterwards took much longer:):)
Works well!!! Face is clearing up!
Just Plain Flower- no such thing! Nothing *just* about this product! I love these soaps, they are gentle, scent free, beautiful and they do the job! I can't ask for anything more and I need to look no further for my soap needs.
Love these soaps. They are beautiful, well made, and long lasting. Would buy again.
I bought this for my husband to try on his rather thick and long beard. Love the fact that it’s scentless, as the other products he’s used had a very strong, lingering scent. He loves how the skin feels, and the beard is soft and easy to brush.
We both appreciate the fact that we can understand the handful of ingredients in this product.
This is my new favorite body wash. The luffa is so gentle on my skin. I love using this as my daily body wash.
I bought this soap for my 11yo daughter who loves anything Taylor Swift. She thought it was super cute and it smells great!
The best soap I have ever used! Makes me soft and smooth no drying of the skin!!
Will never go back to another shave product in my live! Love this bar!!
have been using the shave soaps since they were first made absolutely love them! I will not go back to any other shave products!!
I tried the winter wonder lotion bar after reading the reviews. It did not disappoint. I get super dry skin on my legs during the winter months and after using this lotion bar I noticed a difference right away. My husband has even started using it. I'll be purchasing more!
I’ve been using this conditioner bar (along with washing board shampoo bar) for a few months now. Commercial products were causing a really bad hair loss, so switching to all natural shampoo and conditioner was a no brainer. Not only did the hair loss stop, the new growth is visibly noticeable. My hair is now very soft and doesn’t tangle as much.
This lotion bar is a necessity during cold months. I have been using it diligently, and it works wonders. No more dry, cracked skin. My husband tried it as well, and this is all he is using now.
