Product Overview
Marshmallow shampoo? Bring it on, babe. The marshmallow herb is incredibly moisturizing. To get the most benefit from the herb, we let it sit in oils for a while until we get a mucilage that makes a fabulous vitamin and mineral-rich detangler for curly hair, this is what goes into our soap. Marshmallow root also nourishes and rehydrates dry cells, making this a great bar for dry hair, scalp and skin.
We added aloe because it rhymes with marshMALLOW and sounds cool. Actually, Aloe vera contains something called proteolytic enzymes which repairs dead skin cells on the scalp. It's fabulous for skin because it's rich in vitamin C, E and beta carotene which nourishes skin and scalp deeply. Also, due to its antifungal and antiviral properties, it prevents itching and reduces dandruff and flaking, it also has very potent anti-inflammatory properties which help reduce redness and inflammation. If that isn't enough, it also acts as a great conditioner and leaves your hair all smooth and shiny, plus it promotes hair growth. What more could you want?
Maybe you are wondering how it smells? Earthy, warm, and sweet. Haunting. Delicious. It's sort of hard to explain, so I recommend trying one just to find out.
Ingredients: saponified oils of a marshmallow infused olive, organic shea nut butter, organic coconut, castor bean, grapeseed, mango seed butter, and organic jojoba, organic aloe vera extract, rosemary oil extract, and essential oils of orange, ylang ylang, patchouli, and eucalyptus, 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.

Other great choices for dry, textured hair include the Jojoba Silk Conditioning shampoo bar, Latte Brunette shampoo bar, Wheat and Honey Almond shampoo bar, Simply Shea shampoo bar, and Bamboo Shampoo bar.
Remember that our 100% natural shampoo bars need soft water (read more about that HERE). Also, check out our Citric Acid Hair Rinses or our Herbal Vinegar Hair Rinse - an important step when you are using natural shampoo bars (read more about that HERE).

Super moisturizing for my hair!
I’m about 2 weeks into this bar (at time of review) and I just love it! My long, fine curly aging wavy hair is super soft and very manageable! Thank you AVNS!

Great for colored hair
I use demi permanent hair color so I need a bar shampoo that keeps my color from fading. This shampoo maintains my color and gives my hair great body.

Marshmallow aloe bar
I’m disappointed :/ it didn’t feel like the bar washed out of my hair at all, leaving it feeling gross and greasy. Maybe I’m doing something wrong but the bars I’ve had in the past never felt as if they couldn’t wash out. I spent a good three rinses in the hottest water I could manage trying to get it out.

Marshmallow and Aloe shampoo bar
I will never go back to regular shampoo again! I purchased 3 sample bars and cannot wait to try the other two. My scalp does not feal sripped like regular shampoo does. Even sulfate free shampoos left my scalp dry. The whole texture of my hair feels strong and healthier than it has in a long time. I do have hard water but did a final rinse in distilled water and will do a vinegar rinse once every 2 weeks. I am so grateful to have found this product site. I will definitely be a happy customer!

Pleasantly surprised
I was really skeptical about trying a bar shampoo, so I just ordered a sample of the Marshmallow Aloe. After the first use I've already decided I'm never going back to bottled shampoo and conditioner. The lather was incredible and my hair already looks so much healthier! I can't wait to try some of the other products.

marshmallow and aloe shampoo bar
This bar is AMAZING for grey hair. Marianne recommended this for my husband, who has grey hair, and was not happy with the drying aspect of a bar from another company. His hair is soft and feels thicker, and I will definitely buy this again.
