Glycerine shampoo bars (Pink Grapefruit, Patchouli & Sandalwood, Coconut & Argan Oil)
- Aqua – We use good old Yorkshire water. It acts as a solvent, keeping all the oil and dirt bound to the chelating agents in the solution so that they can go down the plughole.
- Glycerine – Derived from rapeseed oil, glycerine has moisturising properties, softening the skin after use.
- Sorbitol – Derived from corn and used as a thickening agent.
- Sodium Stearate – Derived from rapeseed and is a chelating agent. It binds to all those oil and dirt particles, keeping them in the water.
- Sodium Laurate – Derived from vegetable oils, including palm, which is RSPO certified. This ingredient is one of the surfactants that creates a lovely foam.
- Propylene Glycol – Mineral-derived, this ingredient acts in a similar way to water as a solvent. It also helps to mix the hydrophilic and hydrophobic ingredients together.
- Sodium Oleate – Derived from vegetable oils, sodium oleate is a surfactant acting similarly to sodium myristate. It also has emulsifier properties, keeping those hydrophobic and hydrophilic ingredients together.
- Sodium Myristate – Derived from vegetable oils, this is one of the surfactants in the product. Surfactants reduce the surface tension of a liquid. In shampoo bars, this means it allows any dirt and oil in your hair to be transferred to the product and washed away.
- Capryl Glucoside – A mild surfactant derived from vegetable origin that is often used in baby shampoo. It creates a lathering effect which helps to work the shampoo into your hair and moisturises your scalp.
- Sodium Chloride (aka salt) – Pure salt helps to thicken the soap solution.
- Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil – Derived from coconut and richly moisturising.
- Glyceryl Laurate – A plant-based viscosity stabiliser. It is also a skin-conditioning agent. It works as a co-emulsifier, helping water and oil mix together.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine – Vegetable-derived and used to reduce static. It is used to condition the skin and hair, and helps to increase the foaming action.
- Sodium Citrate – Produced as a by-product during saponification in a reaction between sodium chloride and citric acid. It is another chelating agent that binds to any heavy metal ions, helping the other ingredients to be more effective.
- Citric Acid – Derived from corn and is used as an acidity regulator.
- Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate – A plant-derived water softener, also known as a chelating agent.
- Tetrasodium Etidronate – A safe synthetic ingredient. It acts as a chelating agent, grabbing hold of any free metal ions found in hard water, aiding saponification. It also reduces the hardness of water, providing a soft feel to the skin.
This forms the base of our lovely shampoo bars, to which we add essential oils.
Cold pour shampoo bars (Lavender & Geranium, Rose & Geranium)
- Four simple ingredients make up our cold pour shampoo bars. To these base ingredients, we add essential oils to create a range of fragrances.
Sodium cocoate – Coconut oil is deeply conditioning and leaves hair feeling soft and supple.
Sodium olivate – Olive oil helps to add softness, strength and a healthy shine.
Aqua – Lashings of good old Yorkshire water.
Sodium castorate – Castor oil has been used as a natural conditioner for centuries and we’ve included it as a natural nourisher. It creates a gorgeous creamy lather and helps to deeply condition the hair.
