Here’s Why Shampoo Bars Are Taking Over Hair Care

1. Sustainable and Plastic-free

Shampoo bars come in solid bar form, and are packaged in a 100% recyclable and compostable paper box. With a shampoo bar, you can skip the plastic bottle entirely – which is a fantastic eco-friendly choice, because only 9% of plastic is actually successfully recycled at the end of the day. In addition, liquid shampoos are usually around 80% water, so the carbon footprint of shipping all that water adds up to a big environmental impact. In contrast, shampoo bars are compact by design, and waterless – it’s just the essential ingredients needed for a clean wash.

2. SLS-free

SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) is a detergent used in the majority of liquid shampoos. It’s harsh and can leave your hair feeling stripped. In fact, SLS is the same detergent used in most popular liquid dish soaps as well (check the ingredients on your bottle of dish soap at home!) In contrast, Earthling shampoo bars do not contain a drop of SLS. Instead, these shampoo bars utilize a plant-based lathering cleansing ingredient that is so gentle, it’s commonly referred to as “baby foam”.

3. Natural Ingredients

Earthling shampoo bars are packed with nourishing natural ingredients like coconut oil, cocoa butter, and apricot seed oil. These ingredients are gentle and nutrient-dense, but effective at leaving hair clean, soft, and healthy. Over and over again, customers leave reviews about how soft and shiny their hair is after using Earthling shampoo bars!

4. Works For All Hair Types

Curly, straight, color-treated, bleached, dry, oily – no matter what your hair type, Earthling shampoo bars have been developed with a balanced and universally effective formula. There’s a big trend right now in the hair care industry for expensive “personalized” shampoo and conditioner formulas. But the truth is that these “personalized” formulas have very tiny, marginal differences, and are hyper-targeted to entice people in our consumption focused world.

5. Lasts For Up To 75 Washes

Shampoo bars last a long time – for most people, between 50-75 washes, depending on the length and thickness of your hair. The majority of people are able to use a single bar for about 2 and a half months (though some report stretching theirs up to 6 months!) How long it lasts depends on the individual, but you’d be surprised by how little product you need to get an amazing lather and clean from these bars.
