DISCOVER OUR SOLID SHAMPOO WITHOUT SURFACTANT

100% NATURAL, WITHOUT ANY CHEMICALS, ARTISANAL & HANDMADE IN BRUSSELS. A TRUE JEWEL IN OUR COLLECTION!  

Controversies around shampoo surfactants. Why should you care? 

Surfactant is an agent that produces or modifies the surface tension of a solvent in solution. Simplified, a surfactant is a detergent that makes lathery bubbles. 

Sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfates are the most common surfactants, approved sadly even in organic certified skincare.

Nearly 16000 studies mention the toxicity of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)! 

Tensioactives (INCI: Sodium Coco SULFATE, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate etc.) supposedly "natural" and milder are present in almost ALL ORGANIC CERTIFIED or NATURAL solid shampoos. 

A new, supposedly milder alternative: Sodium Cocoyl Isotheniate (SCI) is obtained through a number of heavy chemical reactions, including using ethylene oxide (as for PEG, "polyethylene glycols"). Ethylene oxide is classified as toxic by inhalation and carcinogenic. Solid shampoos can contain up to 75% SCI. 

They are neither natural nor safe.  

Similarly to SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulphate, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate), they are one of the biggest scams of the Organic/BIO product range.  

Consequently, all surfactants are lab-made chemicals that can penetrate tissues and settle in vital organs such as the liver, heart, lungs ...

The most common: SLS is known to irritate the skin, lungs, and eyes. While SLS itself is not declared carcinogen, some studies have showed that it can cause mutations that can lead to cancer.

Surfactants can also bind to estrogen and disrupt hormonal function.

How to use our solid shampoo?  

Simply rub the shampoo into your wet hair and see it turn into a nice LATHER. Yes, our shampoo naturally makes a very nice lather! Massage your hair for 2-3 minutes and rinse it.

It is important to follow up with a mild apple cider VINEGAR rinse: take 1 tbs of vinegar diluted in 200 ml of water and spread it on the hair.

Use exclusively best quality apple cider vinegar, the one that is not filtered, with low alcohol % and good for a salad.

Rinse well with plenty of COLD water and that's it. No need for conditioner!

No need to put on the oil-based mask before or after; our shampoo is super nourishing!

Adjustment period: Our shampoo is different. It will not leave the hair dry or remove oil from your hair like other chemical-based shampoos that contain detergents (surfactants). This is why you need to adjust to it, at least 5-7 washes, especially if you are not used to sulfate-free and surfactant-free shampoo soap bars!

On the first day, the hair may appear heavy and greasy especially on the ends, but as the days go by, the oils will be absorbed and you should strive to wash hair only once a week.

Simply rub the shampoo into your wet hair and see it turn into a nice lather. Massage your hair for 2-3 minutes and rinse it.
