Solid Botanical Shampoo Bar With Cornflowers – Bain & Savon
Handmade solid shampoo bar made with Sodium coco sulfate which is a surfactant and these are made solely from coconut oil. SCS is a surfactant and are partly water-soluble and partly oil-soluble, allowing oil and water to become dispersed. Above a minimum concentration, the surfactant molecules become organised in a structure that can trap the oil-based dirt from the hair, allowing it to be rinsed away.
They have added a wonderful array of botanical oils to add luxury to their shampoo bar. The marshmallow oil helps dry/itchy scalps with a beautiful passion fruit fragrance and cornflower petals.

How To Use
HOW TO USE YOUR SHAMPOO BAR
TRANSITION PHASE
When you first switch to our natural shampoo bars, you may go through what is called a “transition phase”. During this time your hair may feel oily, and feel it has a waxy residue on it.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
There are three reasons this happens:
You may live in a hard water area.
Conventional shampoos and conditioners contain silicone to make your hair feel soft and look shiny. These products leave residues that natural products find hard to remove.
Conventional shampoos tend to remove your natural oils causing your scalp to react and over-produce oils to compensate. Since natural shampoo bars are more gentle, it may take time for your scalp to adjust to a new washing method.
BEFORE USING YOUR SHAMPOO BAR
Try using a baking soda rinse once before you start using your shampoo bar and especially if you live in a hard water area.
1 tablespoon of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
1 liter of warm water
Dissolve the baking soda in the warm water and pour over wet hair. DO NOT RINSE OFF.
Proceed to then use your shampoo bar.
USING YOUR SHAMPOO BAR
Solid shampoo bars are more concentrated than your usual shampoo from the supermarkets.
Lather the shampoo bar in your hands and apply the foam to your hair and wash as you would a liquid shampoo. Rinse and repeat, concentrating on getting your whole head and scalp washed.
You may need a vinegar rinse afterwards. It will balance the Ph (soap is alkaline and our skin is slightly acidic). It will help remove any residue and leave your hair shiny.
Please don’t use your shampoo bar once or twice and decide you don’t like it- everyone’s hair is different and it may take a little time for your hair to adjust! It may take up to two weeks to rid your hair from all the residue leftover from the chemicals in commercial shampoos. Give your hair time to adjust to the lack of chemicals and hair product build-up. But stick it out and get through this period and you will realise just how much healthier your hair is, it will be soft and shiny in no time!
