Shampoo bars infused with essential oils
These delicious smelling shampoo bars are handmade right here in Seattle! They are chock full of wonderful ingredients, starting with a base of babassu oil, chamomile-infused sunflower oil. Our soap maker tells us they have a bit of a cult following at her farmer's market stand!
They are palm oil free, paraben- and sulfate-free, and scented with essential oils. Most of the ingredients are organic as well! The only animal product in them is the raw honey, which is from a small, organic local beekeeper in Everett.
Sunny grove is scented with lemon, lemongrass and tea tree essential oils and is reminiscent of a bright sunny day. Refresh is more herbal and refreshing, scented with basil, peppermint and rosemary essential oils.
Use it just as you would a bar of soap, massaging into your scalp. It will create a sudsy lather, and each one is packed full of plant based goodness to leave your hair silky and shiny.
Each bar is approximately 5 oz.
Palm oil free, sulfate free, paraben free.
Sunny Grove: Organic babassu oil, chamomile-infused sunflower oil, organic shea butter, castor oil, olive oil, organic rice bran oil, organic coconut oil, raw honey, organic lemon essential oil, organic lemongrass essential oil, and tea tree essential oil.
Refresh: Organic babassu oil, chamomile-infused sunflower oil, organic shea butter, castor oil, olive oil, organic rice bran oil, organic coconut oil, raw honey, organic basil essential oil, organic peppermint essential oil, and organic rosemary essential oil.
Wrapped in compostable paper made from the bark of the Daphne bush, which is a renewable resource. The paper is acid free and naturally dyed. The labels are locally printed.
Handmade by a woman-owned small business in Seattle, WA.
She chooses organic ingredients whenever possible. She sources her honey from a very small, local family in Everett; they are organic and the honey is raw and unpasteurized.
The paper used to wrap the bars is from a Seattle company called Of the Earth. It is a handmade Lotka paper made from the bark of the Daphne bush which regenerates naturally providing a renewable resource and is acid-free and naturally dyed. Her labels are also printed by a local company.
I wanted to love this bar, but I couldn't. I tried it for 2 weeks. When my hair dried, it was dull and covered in a thick layer of residue. I tried using less shampoo, rinsing it for longer. Nothing worked. My hair felt dirtier right after my showers than it would after 3 days of not washing it. Oh well. I suppose I can use it as body wash, but I don't really want a layer of residue on my body either. I got the "Refresh" version
When I switched to shampoo bars I started out using Friendly from the UK. It worked great but I wanted something closer to home/lower carbon footprint. The sage on the mountain bar finally was my local match! I have fine but curly hair so I need a carefully balanced bar to cut down frizz but without too much oil. These bars are perfect, no nasty residue and the sent is wonderful. Warning, the first couple of times I used the bar the scent was strong, but the smell after washing and when your hair is dry is mild so don't worry.
Absolutely love this shampoo bar. Leaves all hair types from thin and straight, to curly, to thick and wavy - feeling and smelly great. Great alternative to bottled, everyday shampoo.
Just-add-water hair shampoo
2 fl. oz. yield compostable packet - Perfect for sampling the product to try it out for the first time, or using for travel. The packet contains 0.21 oz. (6g) of granules, and yields 2 fl. oz. of liquid shampoo when mixed with hot water. Fits perfectly in our 2 oz. travel jars.
8 fl. oz. yield packet - One packet creates one batch of liquid shampoo. Pour the granules into any of our 8 oz. reusable pump bottles, fill the rest with hot water, mix, and let cool! This compostable packet contains 0.85 oz. (24g) of granules, and yields 8 fl. oz. of liquid shampoo.
These granules were very moist, almost a clay-like substance. Given the package is very thin, it was challenging to get out. I had to get some tweezers - I never did get it all out. Then I couldn't pour them into my bottle or even use a funnel because the clumps were too big. Once the water was added, the consistency was OK, but I don't feel like it conditioned my hair very well at all. I really really wanted to love this, but I just didn't.
I purchased a trial size of the citrus scent, but I would not recommend that scent. The scent does not linger, but it does smell "off" while using the shampoo. I mixed the packet with (an unknown amount of) water in a 3 fl. oz. travel bottle (emptied packet into bottle, added water to under 3 fl. oz. (aiming for 2 fl. oz.), shook the bottle). The consistency of the product is not very viscous (more liquid-y) and kind of slippery (similar to the Fresh soy face cleanser). Quite a bit of product must be used (I usually use about the size of a grape, but for this product I needed multiple grapes) to lather the product and get a clean hair feeling. I used it in combination with Olaplex no. 5 conditioner. My hair felt soft, clean and nice after air drying. What I like about this product is that I can prepare shampoo based on my use/demand instead of purchasing a giant bottle that will take me years to go through. ***I may have over diluted the product.
Unscented hair shampoo
This versatile shampoo is perfect for all hair types, including chemically treated hair. Since it's sulfate-free, it won't strip the healthy natural oils from your hair, helping to prevent dryness and breakage! Plus - it's "curly girl method" friendly!
Refreshing, cleansing and nourishing at the same time.
It's a very gentle, unscented shampoo. You can scent it with essential oils to match your preference at home if you like!
If you're ready to try something a little different, check out our just-add-water shampoo or one of our shampoo bars! These options are even more sustainable because they require less packaging and are more lightweight, which reduces shipping emissions.
Pour a dime to a quarter sized dollop of wash (depending on your length of hair) into the palm of your hand. Massage the shampoo into the scalp, working through your wet hair, from root to tip. Rinse thoroughly and follow up with your preferred conditioner.
This can double as a body wash: pour another dime to quarter sized dollop of wash into the palm of your hand to cleanse the body. Rinse thoroughly with cool or tepid water. Repeat if desired.
For a relaxing bubble bath, pour two tablespoons into bath water directly beneath the faucet.
To store this product, we recommend using the provided aluminum bottle with a pump lid.

Not much lather as it’s sulphate free. Left the hair super shiny and clean after wash. Will definitely recommend.
Works really well, doesn’t dry out hair. First “natural” shampoo my daughter (oily hair) really likes and I (dry hair) like it, too. Can’t wait for your store to reopen!
Dry shampoo
This fabulous time saver can give you that extra day in between hair washes, be your best friend on a long camping trip, or help out during times of convalescence or anytime that regular shampooing simply isn’t practical.
Just dust the dry shampoo powder on the roots of your hair to let it absorb excess oil and give your hair added volume.
We recommend pairing this with a mason jar spice lid, which transforms any regular mouth mason jar into the perfect dispenser for your dry shampoo!
Brush your hair. Place a small amount of dry shampoo powder in your hands, lean your head forward and work through your hair starting from the roots. Brush your hair as normal. If hair still looks a bit greasy, repeat application.
We recommend adding a mason jar spice lid to transform any storing your dry shampoo in a glass shaker jar for ease of use, or repurpose an old spice jar.
Store in a cool, dry place.

I am hooked on this dry shampoo! I use about a teaspoon of this product in my oily shoulder length straight hair. I rub the powder into my scalp and voila! My hair is refreshed and ready to go like I just showered. Whether I am on a week long camping trip or just in-between showers this dry shampoo does the trick - AND the 3/4 cup product come in home compatible compostable packaging!
This dry shampoo is amazing! It lasts forever, it's inexpensive, and it works well! I have dirty blond hair so the white blends into my hair and you can't tell. If you have dark hair, you'll maybe see a white cast. I love this stuff and if I ever run out, I'll be buying more!
I think im sold! I'm trying this out for the first time and i feel like it really is holding down my oily scalp! im very impressed. I've tried mulitple spray dry shampoos and so far this has been working!
Ok, so the first time I used this dry shampoo I dumped waaaay too much on my scalp and it looked like I had been dusted with powdered sugar lol. But once I figured out the correct amount it works great! Let's me get away with not washing my hair an extra day to save water.
After the first use - I’ve been converted. It’s very light, absorbs the oils so well, and doesn’t leave my hair with an incredibly strong smell. I thought I’d miss the canned dry shampoo but I don’t. My hair feels so much more natural (not stiff, powdery, or sticky) with this product. My only Initial struggle with this new dry shampoo is application. I’d recommend using a makeup brush to dip into the powder and apply to your hair.

Doesn't work for thick curly hair. Ever watery. Defently not a leave conditioner.
This spray works great on my curls. I use it on my hair right after a shower. A little goes a long way. I have long and thick hair, two to three sprays does the trick. Too much weighs down my hair. It works to detangle my hair with a wet brush and damp/wet hair.
This is the FIRST leave in spray I've ever liked. My hair is very porous and I have to reapply/reseal leave-in conditioner several times between washes. This is the perfect product for the job. It refills my strands without weighing them down.
I love that the ingredients are clean and the product can be traced.
The fine mister spray nozzle is a simple yet excellent feature because it distributes the product with absolute perfection. It sprays both evenly and lightly; allowing you to no go overboard.
It's also kind of a "base product" that can be used "as is" or customized. I added a few key essential oils for further nourishment. Though, It's pretty perfect the way it is.
****The ONLY THING- I don't think it performs well as a simple detangler. My daughter's hair has knots every morning. Ive used this spray several times and it just doesn't do much for helping detangle. It provided lots of moisture but she doesn't need the extra moisture so it gets heavy. I also don't see it PREVENTING tangles on her either.
I recommend for hair types similar to mine-
Fine
Medium Density
Unruly Frizz
Highly Porous
Damage
Excessive Dryness
Mix of 2b/3b curly/wavy/and straight
*It's a disaster of a hair combo is what it is
Just-add-water hair conditioner
8 fl. oz. yield packet - One packet creates one batch of liquid conditioner. Pour the granules into any of our 8 oz. reusable pump bottles, fill the rest with hot water, mix, and let cool! This compostable packet contains 0.85 oz. (24g) of granules, and yields 8 fl. oz. of liquid conditioner.
I loved the idea of this since it's extremely low waste, but it just does not work!
The end product after adding the recommended amount of water is very liquidy and does not do a good job of conditioning my hair. After a shower using this, my hair felt very dry and tangled. I bought all of the 3 different scent options because I thought I'd love them, so how I'm just trying to use them up to be done with them. I've been using this as a leave in conditioner just to use it up which seems to be doing pretty well in that capacity.
As a stand alone it's a definite NO, but as a leave in, it works.
I would not purchase again, I'm sticking with the bars now.
This is exactly what I was looking for! The conditioner powder/paste mix is perfect in every way. Comes in a zero -plastic paper zip bag, fun to make, leaves my hair silky smooth, reasonably priced for the quality. I only wish it’d come in a bulk size or they can restock. So glad I found this. Will repurchase!
This conditioner works really well! I had tried conditioner bars and I just wasn't a fan. This stuff comes out to a great consistency and does a good job. I added my own mix of essential oils to the unscented packet for my own scent. When my current batch is out I will buy the bulk packet to keep using this product with minimal waste!
