Made from the best ingredients our planet has to offer:
Organic RAW unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar. Shampooing typically increases pH factor. Human hair is acidic, with a pH factor of 4 to 6. Apple cider vinegar has a pH factor of about 4. Using ACV helps restore your hair’s natural pH balance, which also helps maintain your hair’s protective layer. Our shampoo bars typically measure at 7.5 - 8 instead of the 8 - 10 most natural shampoos boast. Apple cider vinegar eliminates nasty chemicals and dead cells from your scalp. This allows the skin to breathe naturally and opens the pores in the skin. A healthy scalp prevents dandruff build-up and flaky scalp. ACV also has anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities that can eliminate any itchiness.
100% pure cold-pressed Castor oil is famous for skin & hair repair and is a wonderful nourishing oil. It is the only oil that contains Ricinoleic acid which is also a conditioning acid.
100% natural raw unrefined Shea butter leads to the improvement of the scalp structure. Shea butter improves existing hair and gives birth to new hair.
Sunflower oil is rich in vitamins like A, B, C and E and minerals like iron, potassium and calcium. The content of essential nutrients, antioxidants and fatty acids in sunflower oil make it highly beneficial for hair health. Sunflower oil is known to have high levels of Oleic Acid, which is an Omega 9 acid. This Omega 9 acid is known to be one of the essential acids that are needed to be a part of your diet to stimulate natural hair growth. This Omega 9 acid is also responsible in preventing brittle hair and hair loss.
Jojoba oil is very high in monounsaturated fatty acids (98% of total fatty acids); also rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E (very rich in), Myristic Acid (a saturated fatty acid), Plant Wax (similar to sebum). Which means it is readily accepted by the scalp and does not mess with the scalp’s natural balance. It works well as an agent for reducing hygral fatigue (the swelling and shrinking of hair as it it gets wet and dries that can weaken the hair fibre over time). As a conditioner jojoba helps to add shine, elasticity and softness to hair. Jojoba is an emollient – it fills in cracks that are on the surface of the hair cuticle, i.e. it helps to repair hair damaged by heat and styling.
Neem Oil is an all around skin healer and is called natures pharmacy for a reason. As it is anti fungal it can reall help with dandruff or issues that cause dandruff. Anti bacterial and anti microbial, it can improve the health of your scalp.

Next come the botanicals:
-
Neem Leaf Powder

Nettle Leaf
-
Rosemary
-
Horsetail
-
Birchbark
-
Saw Palmetto
Saw Palmetto, Nettle and Rosemary are natural DHT blockers! (Actually the Rosemary oil is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor) Neem leaf powder helps to fight skin ailments like fungus, bacteria and microbes that can harm your scalp and cause itchy patches and dandruff. Horsetail contains antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory effects and is believed to stimulate hair growth by improving scalp blood circulation. Birchbark comes from the "tree of life" (as the Birch tree is known) and has been used for ages to combat hair loss and reduce dandruff. All these ingredients are infused into the oil and impart their goodness to the oil which we use in our shampoo bars 2 different ways. We use the infused oil in our base recipe and then we also add it again, towards the end of the production process (along with more apple cider vinegar, the neem oil, burdock root oil and jojoba oil) to make sure that the actual herbal and oil properties are present and not cooked out.
Built from the ground up to be the best shampoo bar available. This shampoo may help your hair grow by resolving problems that hinder hair from growing. Some of those problems include dry scalp, sluggish blood flow, imbalanced sebaceous glands, follicles that might be stressed from aggressive combing or tight braids and irritated scalp from scratching or chemical processing (including dyes, perms and relaxers).
If you're new to shampoo bars, you may notice that your hair feels different - and squeakier! With more volume! You’ll probably go through a transition period. This is normal. Commercial, liquid shampoos tend to strip your hair of all its natural oils which in turn makes your scalp over produce those oils to compensate. For some it takes a while for your scalp to get used to it. For others it isn’t even an issue. Use the entire bar before deciding if this shampoo is for you. Many have also found that after a while, there is no need to use a conditioner. (You may want to use a bit of vinegar and water as a rinse to get rid of tangles, if necessary and that's it.)
As a last note, we use expensive ingredients but will always do our level best to keep pricing affordable. Helping others is what it's all about. We hope you enjoy this shampoo bar as much as we enjoy making it!
