Grace of Me 2% Pyrithione Zinc Shampoo Bars are a great substitute to liquid shampoos or bar soap - this bar will give you roughly 100 washes with a maximum strength 2% Pyrithione Zinc. A single bar will easily outlast several bottles of liquid shampoo. Our shampoo bar is free form Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and is made mostly from vegetable ingredients. Made using soothing Aloe Vera with conditioning additives and excellent lather. The high glycerin content provides good moisturizing.
There are three broad categories of shampoo bars 1) soap based; 2) hybrid bars; 3) non-soap based syndet bars. You'll find all three types of bars here on Etsy. The Grace of Me bars are high performance hybrid bars (hot processed). The bars contain both Sodium Stearate (soap), Glycerin, and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate. We also make cold process non-soap syndet bars under the DermaHarmony brand.
ABOUT: My name is Grace Addison and I'm 16 years old. I live in beautiful Falmouth, Maine (ME) and my dad owns a soap company called DermaHarmony. His team is helping me to manufacture & market my own shampoo bars. We started making shampoo bars 2 years ago when I was 14. I'm getting help from folks that have built huge national brands. It's way cool!!! Shampoo bars are greener, cheaper, and more travel-friendly. So ditch that wasteful shampoo bottle today!!! I'll have more shampoo and soap bars online later this year - it takes 8-12 months to bring a product to market. My shampoo bars are not like those pressed bars that look like they have rice in them. My formulation is more sophisticated and the production process is more difficult. The end result is a better shampoo bar.
SIZE: One 4 Oz Bar
INGREDIENTS: The list looks long and complicated because making highly performant shampoo is not easy. This is a vegetable based solid shampoo with conditioning additives. Every ingredient was scrutinized for safety. We've chosen the most natural ingredients possible to produce an aesthetically pleasing safe shampoo bar.
-Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI)
-Glycerin
-Sodium Stearate (sodium stearate is the sodium salt of stearic acid - this white solid is the most common 'soap')
-Sorbitol (a sugar alcohol)
-Water
-Sodium Laurate (a surfactant that is entirely derived from the vegetable sources of coconut and/or palm kernel oil - this ingredient is frequently confused with SLS [not safe]. Sodium Laurate is not SLS.)
-Propylene Glycol (made from glycerin, this is a moisturizer, emulsifier and carrier for fragrance oils)
-Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES - a plant derived surfactant found in many personal care products)
-Sodium Chloride (table salt)
-Disodium Lauryl (a surfactant foam boosting agent derived from plants - a surfactant is a substance that lowers the surface tension of oils)
-Sulfosuccinate (another surfactant foam boosting agent derived from plants)
-2% Pyrithione Zinc
-Titanium Dioxide (a natural mineral)
-Stearic Acid (a vegetable derived waxy substance used to add firmness to the shampoo bar - is also a surfactant)
-Lauric Acid (a saturated fatty acid that comes from Palm or Coconut that contributes hardness, cleansing, and big fluffy lather)
-Pentasodium Pentetate (this salt of Pentetic Acid is used as a chelating agent to bind and sequester metal ions)
-Tetrasodium Etidronate (this is a chelating agent formed of four carboxylic acid groups attached to two nitrogen atoms)
-Polyquaternium 7 (organic conditioner)
-Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder
-Sodium Benzoate (a natural preservative)

DIRECTIONS: Rub directly onto hair to create a later. Massage into your hair and scalp. Leave in contact with skin for at least 30 seconds. Rinse well. Store bar on a soap tray or rack so that it dries between uses.
WARNING: Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rise eyes thoroughly with water. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.
PACKAGING & SHIPPING: We prioritize the use of recycled and renewable materials. The brown Kraft envelope is natural - an eco-friendly choice. The sleeve is made of Kraft paper with an inner plant-based PLA lining. The packaging is ASTM D 6400 and DIN EN 13432 certified. These certify that the PLA and paper will compost satisfactorily, including biodegrading at a rate comparable to known compostable materials. The outer shipper for single bars is also 100% recyclable and made from 100% recycled paperboard with 90% PCC. The black ink used on our packaging is Algae Ink (the ink pigment is made by livingink.co from algae cells). The non-black ink is water-based. The single bar packaging uses a pressure sensitive gum/glue closure so that we don't need to use plastic tape. Larger orders use recycled cardboard boxes with reinforced paper tape with eco-friendly glue. Even our thermal shipping label will degrade.
If you'd like the bars bulk packed in paper (no Kraft/PLA sealed bag), then look to our ECO-Packaged 5 packs. The ECO 5 packs ship in a corrugated box with paper tape.
IDEALS:
-We favor ingredients derived from nature.
