A gentle and lovely-smelling shampoo bar :)
Handmade in our small lab at the mountains of Lefkada island (Greece) with homegrown ingredients of our natural farm.
A solid shampoo bar is a great -and more importantly!- sustainable alternative to liquid shampoo. Its solid form resembles that of a bar soap and drastically reduces plastic waste. Needless to say, it's top for travelling, but also for keeping your bathroom neat, visually appealling and clear of distractions.
This shampoo bar smells beautifully of organic lavender and laurel essential oils and lathers up in a thick, steady, lace-like foam due to our chosen baby-gentle naturally-derived cleansing agents. All the while, we've included some soft clay for its purifying properties but also for its creamy feel. And let's not forget our own produce, naturally farmed, supreme quality virgin Greek olive oil, infused with homegrown laurel, sage and calendula to make for an overall more moisturising effect, with herbal hair fortifying kicks.
Extra benefit: Use this shampoo bar as a body wash too! Its velvety foam and slightly scrubby surface will amaze you.
As it is SLS and sulfate-free, it's a perfect choice for people with more sensitive skin, or even rosacea patients who have irritation issues with industrial shampoos. Be aware that this shampoo bar is also not a soap. Nothing bad about a soap -and we make some crunchy ones from our organic cold-pressed olive oil! However, some people (including me >profile: very long, very dense, thick hair) find it hard to make do with a traditional soap for washing their hair. This might be for a variety of reasons, including behaviour and after-feel of the hair, time or the naturally alkaline pH of soaps. Alternatively, the suds in this shampoo bar come from ECOCERT, naturally-derived and skin-friendly surfactants with a skin & hair-compatible pH. Their cleansing capacity is toned down just a bit with the addition of our pure oil, such as to care for you in a very tender way.

USE
Circle the bar gently over wet hair once or twice depending on hair length. A little rub is all you need! Massage from the roots to the ends of the hair. Rinse thoroughly. Run it over your body for instant creamy cleansing too!!
PACKAGING
You will receive the shampoo bar in a cotton muslin pouch (if preffered naked, choose so). You can use the muslin pouch to store your bar between uses, hanged in the bathroom to allow it to airdry. Upon receival, it will be wrapped in thin tissue paper.
STORAGE
Allow the bar to airdry in the hanging pouch or drain on a soap plate between uses. If it is left to sit in water, it will start to soften on the bottom (similar to soap effect) and you might lose on longevity.
>>We produce a big portion of our materials (olive oil, herbs>herbal extracts & essential oils). We choose to source our materials of choice that are cultivated within Greece, from other agroecological small farms. Overall, we strive for a toxin-free, fair and sustainable supply chain.
