Ingredient Details (read full ingredients list in this product’s ingredients tab)
Helps to form the building blocks of your hair, giving your scalp and hair what it needs to strengthen the sulfide bonds and produce more growth.
Our collagen protein peptides are from pasture-raised and grass-fed bovine. Collagen also helps to form the building blocks of your hair while drawing moisture to your hair as a natural humectant, giving your scalp and hair what it needs to strengthen the bonds and grow faster.
Silk protein peptides strengthen and yet smooth hair bonds: silk is one of the strongest (yet softest) substances in the world and is a perfect addition to your haircare routine. Our real, natural silk comes from cruelty-free silk moth cocoons: the cocoons are harvested after the moths mature and leave the empty cocoon behind.
Pasture-Raised, Pure, Hand-Rendered USA Lard feeds your hair and skin extra-nourishing balanced fatty acids and the world’s highest Vitamin D3 content, second only to cod liver oil. Lard has been used in haircare since medieval times for hair growth and hair health management. Our lard is carefully hand-rendered to keep its precious rare nutrients in-tact.
Lard is the 2nd fat in the world that is highest is Vitamin D3, second only to cod liver oil! Vitamin D3 is the most bioavailable form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D delivers a myriad of health benefits, including supporting healthy, long hair. As it turns out, Vitamin D3 is involved in various signaling pathways in the hair follicle and has a direct (and critical) role in the hair growth (aka anagen) phase. Topical application of vitamin D3 has been shown to render protection against damage caused to the skin by UV light. Vitamin D reduces cell death, promotes cell survival, and reduces redness and inflammation.
Since pasture-raised lard is lighter and softer in texture, slightly higher in unsaturated fatty acids, and higher in certain nutrients like Vitamin D3 – it makes a perfect fat base in our shampoo soaps, conditioners, and hair oils.
Pasture-Raised, properly fed lard is low on the comedogenic scale: it will not clog pores nor cause inflammation, in fact it may help with those issues. Since it is slightly higher in unsaturated fatty acids, it provides a more bubbly lather and a squeakier clean.
Our Lard is:
-
Slowly and carefully hand-rendered in our facility from the farm-fresh raw source
-
NEVER bleached or ultra-processed for a “white look”
-
Pasture-Raised from LOCAL and USA small family farms

Local, Raw, Farm-Fresh, Grass-fed, Hand-Cultured Buttermilk to feed your hair the perfect food – high in essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids. Full-fat Jersey cow buttermilk is higher than goat milk in lactic acid and has the same moisturization content. The famously beautiful Egyptian Queen Cleopatra was a wise proponent, bathing in fresh buttermilk daily.
Buttermilk is high in multiple different proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Farm-fresh, raw buttermilk can have dozens of naturally occurring probiotics along with alpha-hydroxy acids like lactic acid, which promote cell renewal and rejuvenation of beauty factors such as brightness, tone, and complexion maintenance. Milk is considered a “complete protein” and “near-perfect food” meaning it contains all nine of the essential amino acids necessary for your body to function at an optimal level, plus all the essential Omega 3, 6, & 9 fatty acids in balanced proportions in addition to most of the vitamins and minerals your body needs. And buttermilk is even better! If raw milk can grow a baby calf into a cow within a few months, think of what it does to your hair!
Our Buttermilk is:
-
Slowly and carefully hand-cultured from the farm-fresh raw source
-
When the farm-fresh raw buttermilk arrives in our facility, it is frozen and used first-in, first-out to ensure the best nutrient content

Certified Organic Babassu Oil provides an extra foamy lather to build mounds of thick bubbles. This makes cleansing your hair an easier task without using pore-clogging palm or coconut oils. Babassu oil also helps maintain the hardness of your shampoo soap while in use and makes the bar last as long as possible in wet environments.
Certified Organic, Cold-Pressed, Extra-Virgin Olive Oil has been used for thousands of years to make the best soaps in the world and is one of the major components of our shampoo bars. Olive oil provides a rich, smooth, silky shine to hair shafts while also retaining a mild, gentle cleanse. Olive oil is unique in that it’s very moisturizing, but not heavy.
Certified Organic, Hexane-Free Castor Oil has been used for centuries to help heal damaged skin while also restoring new hair growth.* Also known as the “Palm of Christ”, its many priceless uses have yet to be overshadowed by any other known oil. Castor oil also helps to provide a thick, robust, and stable lather, while additionally strengthening the hair shafts and reducing split ends.
Certified Organic Golden Jojoba Oil is actually a type of liquid plant wax that is claimed to be very similar to our skin’s sebum, providing a light moisturization without clogging pores. Jojoba oil has been very useful for haircare professionals, lending extra shine, strength, and manageability to hair health.
Abyssinian Oil is very similar to Argan oil but shown to be better in some ways. From multiple scientific studies, Abyssinian oil has been shown to provide superior protection against hair breakage and heat damage in professional salon settings. Shine and manageability are also markedly improved when incorporating Abyssinian oil into one’s haircare routine.
Kaolin Clay helps detox your hair from the daily grime and air pollution from modern day living while also soothing and nourishing the scalp with trace minerals. This natural earthen clay assists with dandruff and encourages hair growth as well. For shaving, it lends an extra silky-smooth experience, but if a nick does occur – it helps stop and repair bleeding quickly. Just lather our soap on the area you need to shave and shave as you would normally (full shaving directions here).
Pure and therapeutic-grade Essential Oils are included for a more natural scent and some therapeutic benefits. Please keep in mind that not including fragrances will reduce the scent hold, decreasing the linger time and strength compared to what many are used to with store-bought products. Learn more about our essential oils we use HERE and read about this product’s scent and scent strength in the product’s scent tab.

I wasn’t sure I would like the smell of frankincense, and it did take a little bit to get used to its unique scent. However, I love this soap! It makes both my hair and my skin soft! I’ve noticed it helps moisture my skin as well so I don’t get as much dryness. @melsical

Hi Nikki! That was our very first couple of batches made over a year ago, we haven’t had charcoal in it in about a year or so. Many people disliked the look of black charcoal – as black soap can be scary looking to some and cause more clean up in the shower. Therefore, we will not be bringing it back in this particular bar. We do have other black charcoal shampoo options like our Miracle Mud and Galaxy Night though!

This bar is so wonderful! It lathers well, smells amazing, and leaves my hair so soft and easy to manage. My hair has rapidly grown since using this bar. I’ve purchased two bars so far lasting about a month each. I plan on having this bar permanently in my quiver along with a few other bars! I also use it as a body wash/ shaving cream it works so well. My skin is soft and smells so good. I feel like I smell like a lush forest. The scent is not overpowering at all and smells so fresh. My husband is always complimenting me! Never stop making this please!

This bar is perfect! My hair has never felt this soft before. I noticed hair growth after a month or so of using it. I cannot recommend this enough!

I have used this shampoo bar several times now, and I am so impressed! I’ve used shampoo bars in the past, so I’m not new to the concept, but this one feels very rich and moisturizing! If you follow the directions, your hair will lather up beautifully and be left feeling soft and clean. I definitely recommend trying it if you’re on the fence.

To start this off, I’ve always struggled with my hair texture. It’s super fine but I have a LOT of individual hairs. My whole life people would call my hair “thin” when it really wasn’t. It was just very fine, delicate hair that looked limp because of the nasty detergent shampoos we grew up with. I’d always wish that it looked as full as my hairdressers would tell me it was. I finally found Perma earth and wow, my hair is literally completely transformed. It started growing immediately (after having shoulder length hair my whole life) and feels so full and thick. I also always thought that in order for my hair to shine I would have to sacrifice volume, so I never used anything I thought would weigh my hair down. But this made my hair shiny after the first wash. I’ve used a couple other shampoo bars from Perma but this one is by far my favorite. It lathers super easy and feels like literal silk. It also smells amazing but doesn’t overpower you. I actually look in the mirror and feel happy about my hair now. It has tons of volume and bounce and has grown two inches since I started using it. If you have similar hair texture as me you literally need this in your life. You won’t regret it. Thank you Perma for literally changing my life, please never stop making this.
