Product Overview

This unique bar features food grade diatomaceous earth, the fossilized remains of single cell diatoms. DE is highly absorbent and almost entirely made up of silica which aids in the strengthening of hair and nails. We've added pink Himalayan salt dissolved in the water portion of the bar, making it super hard and excellent for oily scalps and skin. The Earth bar doesn't have the same amount of fluffy lather our other shampoo bars have, so it will feel different in your hair - but the finished product is super soft and silky. The scent reminds me of clean earth on a spring day. Very natural and fresh. If you have short or fine hair, this bar is fantastic. But because of the high amounts of silica from the DE, and the added salt, I don't recommend it for very long hair as you may get a few tangles. An amazing benefit from the inclusion of salt and DE in this recipe is that it can impart wonderful texture and body to the hair, this is of the reasons I recommend it for fine and thinning hair.

Ingredients: saponified oils of organic coconut, organic olive, organic sustainable palm, organic sunflower, mango butter, organic jojoba, and castor bean, diatomaceous earth, pink Himalayan salt, rosemary oil extract, and essential oils of lavender, palmarosa, petitgrain, juniper berry, organic tea tree, and patchouli.

If you've never used a solid shampoo bar in your hair, you may wonder "how do I do that?" It's easy. Just get your hair wet, take the bar and rub it all over your scalp and hair. Put the bar down and work it into a wonderful lather. You may find that the first time you use a shampoo/body bar in your hair it feels different. Using natural ingredients is not going to give you the same feeling chemically laden choices do because the natural oils are not being stripped away. In addition, your hair may require a transition process before it is fully free of all the other chemicals and residues from prior hair products. You can read more about this transition process HERE.
