Handcrafted Natural Solid Shampoo Bar
Formulated as a concentrated bar, this handcrafted solid shampoo bar uses sodium cocoyl isethionate, an ultra-mild cleanser noted for a thick lather, as its cleansing base.
Jojoba oil is commonly used for lightweight hydration, and aloe vera extract for hydration support. Cetyl alcohol is in many instances used for thickening and locking in hydration.
Hair care engages touch at every step, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift buildup and surface bacteria from the hair and scalp (Bloomfield et al., 2007). Conditioning products add oils and lipids that smooth the hair surface and reduce fiber friction (Robbins, 2012). Styling and leave-in products add glide through the same surface smoothing, which lowers mechanical stress on the fibers during combing and styling (Robbins, 2012; Rele & Mohile, 2003). At any step, massage-like pressure on the scalp activates the touch receptors around the hair follicles (McGlone et al., 2014) and is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010).
Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.
