The SOLID choice for an ultra-mild surfactant

The weight of water

If you look at the back of your liquid shampoo bottle, the first ingredient will be water. With liquid shampoos being up to 80% water, all that extra weight can be costly without any added value, (madehow.com). Every added ounce of water bulks up the carbon footprint of shipping, and dilutes the product that ends up in your hair. Considering you’re taking your shampoo to the shower, it’s that 20% of other ingredients that really makes the difference.

A bar of soap compactness makes it perfect for travel, whether in your suitcase for vacation (solid soap is TSA approved in any size) or on a truck making its way to your store’s shelves. Bar shampoos also stick around for up to two-to-three times more washes than traditional liquid shampoos, meaning shampoo will end up on your shopping list far less often, (www.wedoact.com). Let’s not forget one of the most obvious benefits: solid soap can be sold in paper packaging, forgoing the plastic bottle and keeping environmentally harmful packaging out of our landfills and waterways.

And if you’re still concerned about the potential for bacteria on your bar of soap, don’t worry. Bacteria need water to grow and without it, your bar of soap is as clean as can be, without any of the potentially harmful preservatives that liquid soaps often contain. A damp bar of soap may mean some bacteria can gather over time, but studies have shown that these levels do not pose any risks to consumers. As long as you scrub, your soap does its job; if anything, bar soap goes above and beyond that. Bar soaps also leave out many of the chemicals that may strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving you with just a fresh, natural clean.
