What the Experts of the Non-Toxic awards say…
I love the subtle fragrance of rose geranium in this product and its handy travel tin packaging.
A great shampoo which gives a really good deep clean without stripping my hair. Great for those with oily hair too. I love how this comes in a refillable tin as shampoo bars definitely need a container for optimum lifespan.
This product is deeply cleansing whilst providing moisture and leaves my hair feeling clean and refreshed. I also felt the ingredients were of high quality and the tin is genius (I could store the shampoo away).
I love that this shampoo bar comes in a tin as bars tend to degrade quite quickly in the wet of the shower. It lathers up really nicely in my hair and smells lovely. I love that it contains hemp seed oil and that it’s been handmade locally in the Byron Bay area.
I love the smell of this shampoo bar – the rose and lavender is a great combination. It comes in a handy tin which would be great for travelling. The dark purple bar lathered really easily and makes it easy to differentiate between soap and conditioner bars.
