Healthy Scalp Citrus Shampoo Bar with Scalp Loving Botanicals
Healthy hair starts with a clean, comfortable scalp. Our Healthy Scalp Shampoo Bar combines gentle, plant-based surfactants with a thoughtfully selected blend of botanicals traditionally used in hair and scalp care. The result is a pH-balanced, sulfate-free shampoo bar that creates a rich, creamy lather, rinses cleanly, and leaves hair soft, manageable, and easy to detangle.
And despite its appearance, this is not a bar of soap. It is a true shampoo bar made with gentle surfactants—no lye and no soap.
SCENT PROFILE

HOW TO USE
Wet your hair thoroughly. Rub the shampoo bar directly over your scalp and hair using a few gentle strokes. You don't need to cover every inch of your hair—the rich, creamy lather will spread easily. Massage the lather through your scalp and hair, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with our Solid Conditioner Barfor soft, manageable hair.
Pro tip: Keep your shampoo bar dry between uses. A draining soap dish or other holder that allows air to circulate will help your bar last longer.
All of our shampoo bars share the same gentle, pH-balanced base. What sets each one apart is what's blended in. The Healthy Scalp Citrus bar is our botanical-forward option, built around nettle, shikakai, willow bark, and turmeric for people who want to give their scalp some extra love. If you're looking for a specific scent profile (rosemary-mint, lavender, vanilla, tea tree), those are the pick. If scalp is your focus, this one is.
Yes. It does not contain SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) or SLES (sodium laureth sulfate), the two sulfates most people are avoiding. The surfactant blend is built around milder ingredients like sodium cocoyl isethionate and cocamidopropyl betaine.
Bright, fresh citrus with a herbal edge, from bergamot and lemongrass essential oils. It's not sweet or perfumey; it smells like a clean, energizing scalp scrub.
Wet your hair thoroughly. Rub the bar directly along your scalp a few times, or work it between your hands to build lather, then massage into your scalp. Rinse well. Follow with a conditioner bar (highly recommended, especially for longer or curlier hair). Between uses, keep the bar somewhere it can dry out, like a slotted soap dish or a draining tray.
For most people washing 2 to 3 times a week, one bar lasts roughly 50 to 75 washes, or about 2 to 3 months. It replaces the equivalent of 2 to 3 bottles of liquid shampoo.
Yes. This bar is pH-balanced and sulfate-free, which makes it gentle on color-treated hair.
This is one of the reasons a syndet bar works better than a soap-based shampoo bar. Soap bars famously react with hard water and leave a waxy film. Syndet bars, like this one, rinse cleanly regardless of water hardness.
Yes, and it's ideal for travel. No liquid, no leaks, and no TSA size limits. A small tin or dry-friendly soap dish will keep it happy in your bag.
