Product Overview
This shampoo bar features oodles of concentrated green tea extract. Did you know that green tea is full of potent anti-oxidants called catechins? I could've called this bar the Catechin Bar. Studies have shown that green tea may help reduce skin cancer, rejuvenate old skin cells, improve psoriasis and dandruff conditions, and neutralize damage done by exposure to UV light.
But we didn't stop there. We took it to the next level by infusing the oils with organic nettles, known for their ability to stimulate hair root growth and add smoothness and shine - AND organic horsetail, full of minerals and natural silica, which adds strength and slip to the hair shaft. Enriched with luxurious mango butter and jojoba, this bar is full of natural, nurturing care for your skin and scalp. The scent is a sweet, complex, citrus, herbal (in other words, incredible) blend of essential oils that would charm anyone. The Green Tea and Nettles shampoo bar is a terrific choice for folks who struggle with an oily scalp. So with all of that awesomeness happening in just one bar of soap - what are you waiting for?
Ingredients: saponified oils of an organic nettles and horsetail infused blend of grapeseed and organic sunflower, organic coconut, castor bean, mango seed butter, organic sustainable palm, and organic jojoba, green tea extract, rosemary oil extract, and essential oils of orange, lemon, lime, organic may chang, organic lemongrass, ylang ylang, ginger, fragrance*.
*Please be aware that this shampoo bar does contain a blend of pure essential oils plus less than .01% of a phthalate-free fragrance oil too boost the natural scent, find out more. As this soap contains a synthetic fragrance it is now being DISCONTINUED, once it's sold out it will not be coming back. If we can create a similar scent profile, or a scent that we think is reminiscent of this soap with just essential oils, we will bring it back. But the new version will be 100% natural, all of the same base ingredients, but with a slightly difference scent.

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.
All of our Shampoo, Body and Facial full sized bars are 5oz in weight, with dimensions of 2.75H x 3.4W x 1D.

smells delicious
Hair felt waxy feel in shower, nice and foamy, subtle fresh scent. Unfortunately, my scalp Seborrheic dermatitis was irritated.

Natural, awesome clean for both hair and scalp
Cleanses hair and scalp without drying. My husband has even noticed a small regrowth of hair on his scalp. Nothing major, but this shampoo does what it says it can do.

Amazing shampoo
I’ll admit I was skeptical but this bar is lasting me a good bit. It smells like tea and it’s a pleasant smell. It lathers very well. I have noticed since I switched shampoos, my hair doesn’t fall out at all during my showers. The new growth feels softer and more nourished too!I just bought more!

Great Shampoo Bar
My hair is really short so I cannot comment on whether this bar will give my hair body when it grows out like others do, but the lather is amazing, it smells wonderful, and cleans really well. My hair feels well moisturized too. I will definitely buy this bar again.

Another winner from AVNS
I haven't tried a shampoo bar from here that isn't amazing. These are the best shampoo bars I have ever used! I have tried shampoo bars from Chagrin Valley, Sweet Creek Herbs, Prairie Land Herbs and many others from Etsy and NONE have worked for me like the ones I have purchased here. I am not knocking any of those other brands at all. I think they are all good products BUT AVNS shampoo bars work better for ME than all the rest.

Amazing!!
I am 30 years old and I have never loved my hair the way I do right now!! I couple this bar with the ACV rinse and my hair is SO soft with no flyaways! I am so estatic! Oh, and I'm pretty sure my hair has grown at least 1/2" in the few short weeks that I have been using it! I also use AVNS's dry shampoo the before I got to bed so I only need to wash my hair every 2-3 days! This is a must try!

So green
I'm giving this to my dad, who has a sort of eczema of the scalp. I"m hoping it will help him as much as it's helped others reviewers. It reminds me of a spring garden, before the flowers have bloomed, so it's just the clean green smell of new leaves and tangled branches.

A life changer!
This bar is my first experience with shampoo bars at all and I could not thank Apple Valley enough for this product. Before, when I was using traditional shampoo and conditioners I had an embarrassing amount of flakes and dandruff, not to mention the incredible uncomfortable tightness and itch of my scalp. On top of it all, with my curly hispanic hair, the quality of my hair was getting worse by the day. Quite honestly, I started to loose confidence and dislike myself because for many women, our hair is a huge part of us! Well, this shampoo bar changed everything. My scalp and hair feel healthier than ever before and the flakiness is really healing up beautifully! I'm still trying to figure out how to make shampoo bars work best for me since I'm still a beginner but I know I will always be a return customer. So, thank you Apple Valley!

Great Shampoo
I purchased this one mainly due to the nettles in it. Nettles are known for stimulating hair growth. I can't give a report on any growth yet, too soon to tell but, I can say the smell was great and it worked wonderfully on my hair. I wasn't sure what to expect as far as scent seeing as how I've never sniffed a nettle but I was pleasantly surprised at both scent and texture. It probably works great for growing out hair but there's just too many shampoo bars from Apple Valley to try that I can't bring myself to use just one exclusively
