Experience true food for your hair and skin with real, nutrient-dense, traditionally handcrafted soap made with old-fashioned ingredients. Our artisanal shampoo soaps are handmade with carefully curated local, grass-fed, pasture-raised, and organic ingredients – proudly sourced from small family farms and homegrown here in the USA. What we can’t source locally, we seek the highest quality: certified organic, minimally processed, and fair-trade ingredients to feed your hair and skin from the outside-in. No detergents or surfactants are used in any of our shampoos.
When washing properly, our basic unscented formula is suitable for all hair types used as-needed with an optional conditioner. Some scents and additional ingredients on top of our basic formula may alter results for each individual.

Top 3 Tips for Beginners:

  1. Please keep in mind that scent information in this product’s scent tab is based on majority feedback.
  2. Beginners should educate themselves on the possibility of a short detox period and the correct washing technique.
  3. Our All-In-One Shampoo – Body – Shaving soap bars are also suitable for regular body washing, face washing (facial soap directions here), and shaving (shaving directions here). Our ingredients are LOW on the comedogenic scale – so your pores are nourished and cleansed, but never clogged.

Ingredient Details (read full ingredients list in this product’s ingredients tab)

Lard

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. Learn more here

 

Buttermilk

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. Learn more here

 

Babassu Oil

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.

 

Olive Oil

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.

 

Castor Oil

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.

 

Jojoba Oil

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

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

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).

 

Don’t settle for anything less than the absolute best for your hair and skin

Store in a room-temperature, dry place out of direct sunlight.

We recommend using within 1 year of first use for best results, as scents and contents fade and break down faster over time once disturbed.

  • Hair Growth – Our shampoo bars tend to cause faster and thicker hair growth. As a side-effect, more frequent root colorings/treatments may be needed for colored/treated hair.
  • Colored & Treated Hair – Our shampoo bars tend to have no effect on the shade of permanently colored hair or texture treatments. However, semi or demi-permanent hair-colorings or texture treatments can wash out faster due to the vigorous washing method required for a natural shampoo soap lather. We ask you to weigh your priority of healthier, thicker and faster-growing hair with your semi-permanent hair treatments. Please consider a more permanent hair color shade if you do need to color your hair.
  • More Curly/Textured Hair – Our shampoo bars are sulfate-free and totally natural, therefore they will strengthen the natural disulfide bonds in your hair, which will bring out your natural hair texture. Your natural hair texture usually has more volume, curl/texture, and definition than what you were getting with detergent or surfactant shampoo products.
  • It often takes more time and effort to use natural shampoo bars, but it’s well worth it in the end. Not only do you end up with more naturally nourished hair, you also end up with a cleaner environment!

On average, 1 shampoo soap will last most experienced users around 2 weeks of daily use, or about 14 washes on average.

Hair length, thickness, texture, and level of oil/grease/dirt to cleanse will affect this number. The longer, thicker, dirtier, and more textured your hair is, the more you will need to apply for a good wash.
When you first start using shampoo soaps you will go through them a lot faster than after you adjust – this is due to the detox/adjustment period for most beginners. Here is an article about this if you are interested: https://perma-earth.com/shampoo-soap-detox-for-beginners/
Another beginner’s adjustment is not properly washing (not applying and lathering enough), which causes soap residue in certain places and feels much like the detox symptoms. Here is our article about how to wash properly: https://perma-earth.com/directions/soap-directions/

    AMAZING

    Valencia Dominguez (verified owner)

    I have struggled with my hair for YEARS. So much that I had extremely short hair for nearly 8 years. I cannot say enough good things about this shampoo bar. My hair is curly and so frizzy. After just a couple of washes, for the first time in the six years I’ve been with my husband, he was able to run his fingers through my hair! No crazy knots and tangles. I highly recommend this shampoo bar. Amazing.

    Switching from Dr. Bronners to Perma-Earth

    mysubsea12 (verified owner)

    I would typically use the Rose organic soap from Dr Bronners. It’s just like all the other “Dr.”_____ organic soaps. My hair would be clean but feel super dried out and “sticky” like my fingers would stick to it when running my hand through it while it was wet, resulting in pulled hairs. I switched to these bars hoping to get my hair more lush, lighter, and get rid of that ugly “clean” feeling I got after using the Drs. The results? Exactly what I hoped for. It took a few days, I think a week before my hair fully adjusted. After that period, when washing my hair it would always feel smooth and clean without that “sticky”ness I talked about earlier. My hair even got a little curly after using this and I have had straight hair my whole life. I ran through these bars pretty quick but I think I’m just rubbing too much on my hair. You can get a thick lather really fast and it feels sooo nice and smooth. If you don’t know which product to try first, this is the one! But make sure to get atleast 2-3 if it’s your first time! @ayydwin

    This is the best shampoo, body wash and face wash that I have ever used!! I use it for all 3 and I have very sensitive skin. I also use the unscented conditioner bar. My hair feels SO soft and full with these 2 items. I am forever a customer!

    I really love this unscented shampoo bar. I’ve gotten it multiple times and will continue to do so. It always leaves my hair perfectly cleansed and soft and silky. This is definitely one of my faves. I have no problem with scents and EO, but sometimes I just want a little break. I think an unscented shampoo and a scented conditioner bar is my favorite combo for my hair.

    Don't let this bar fool you

    Melissa Babiak (verified owner)

    I have to admit, I was really nervous to switch to a bar shampoo after using nothing but liquid soaps my entire life. But my best friend (who has similar hair) raved about it and got me thinking I should give it a whirl. I’ve got some fine hair, so it’s been a real challenge to find a product that doesn’t weigh my ‘do down. After a few days of the break-in period, there’s no turning back. My hair is soft and voluminous like never before. It holds it’s style all day with very minimal product. I even use oil in my hair, which I would’ve never been able to do before, and it doesn’t get flat or greasy looking.

    This product is truly remarkable and has done wonders for my locks. I absolutely love it! @misterman11813

    Body bar

    strgaston21 (verified owner)

    I bought this to use as a body soap and shaving soap. I’m so glad I did because my skin loves it. I personally think all the shampoo bars do a great job as shaving “cream.” I find I get a much closer shave and have far less if any razor burn. It leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished. I have sensitive skin and a lot of things irritate me, my skin reacts really well to the unscented soap.

    It's time to switch!

    Jessica Griffith (verified owner)

    I originally found PermaEarth looking for magnesium lotion on the Holistic Mother’s Instagram page, and then started reading on these shampoo bars. I bought a couple to start for my mom and I. We were both hesitant to utilizing a bar of shampoo, but I can say we will never go back to any other shampoo. I originally did not follow the instructions on the website and skipped the detox period. DO NOT SKIP IT. My mom did not skip it and had amazing results right away. Once I used it CORRECTLY, I was amazed. I have naturally very curly hair, and my curls have never looked better. My mom has very fine hair, and she has SO MUCH volume now. My first bar lasted me about a month and a half. However, my mom is still on her first bar from 3-months ago. If you’re on the fence about drying a bar of shampoo – this is your sign to DO IT!

    I bought this a little while ago but waited until winter break to give it a try (I’m a teacher) just in case I went through a longer detox period. After 2 washes, I am HOOKED and will never go back to other shampoos! I was expecting a long detox period, but that did not happen for me, which I think is maybe because 1) I did not use a lot of hair products to begin with and 2) more importantly, I OBSESSIVELY read and re-read the directions many, many times before I started. I left the directions up on one tab on my computer for a week before starting and would read the directions frequently, and prior to trying the shampoo soap, I would think through the process when I was in the shower. I think my over-the-top approach really paid off!

    The first wash was definitely an adjustment – not only because it was a different process but also because holy cow, my arms got a workout! I have long hair, so I made sure to divide my hair into sections to make sure I got enough soap distributed throughout my hair. My hair felt OK after the first wash – not waxy or greasy, and my hair definitely more prone to tangles than usual when wet. I didn’t notice a huge difference in how it felt once it dried after the first wash.

    The second wash was much better – I got more of a feel for when the soap was starting to lather just by running it over the layers of hair, and I got a much foamier lather than the first time. This time after I dried my hair, I could not believe how soft it was! I swear my hair has not felt this soft and silky since childhood. It’s amazing and I will never go back to any other shampoo.

    I should also mention that I used the unscented conditioner, and I think that really helped with the tangling. Please never stop making this, I love it!!

    Buy it now, seriously

    Briana Verhoeks (verified owner)

    I have struggled for years, no exaggeration, with finding a natural shampoo that ACTUALLY made my hair feel clean and healthy. Everything I tried would leave a residue or my coarse, wavy hair would just get really dried out, frizzy, and shapeless. The first time I used this, my scalp actually felt CLEAN!! I didn’t go through any sort of detox, maybe because I had already been using more natural shampoo or because I followed the directions exactly. But after my second wash, I didn’t lather as much and my scalp didn’t feel quite as squeaky clean as the first time, so I really do think it just comes down to following the directions to get the most out of your wash day with this soap. I can go 7-9 days without washing so this soap will last me maybe two months, which is great. I am so happy they offer unscented options as well, because I have MCS and react to so much stuff. This will be a staple in my hair care routine for as long as PermaEarth keeps making it, and I’m excited to get through this bar and try some of their other unscented soaps and essential oil soaps as well!

    We love this unscented option for the kiddos. I feel safe using it on the baby and on sensitive skin. One of our children is prone to really bad eczema flare ups and nothing seemed to help. Poor guy couldn’t wear shoes at one point it got so bad. We tried countless products and prescriptions but nothing seemed to help, until we found perma earth! I honestly can’t rave enough about this shampoo/body wash. We started using it months ago and he hasn’t had one single flare up since! I swear by it and won’t use anything else.

    it works!!!!!

    Zahra Bellucci (verified owner)

    ok, I have been attempting shampoo alternatives for literal YEARS with zero success and had kind of given up trying. my hair is really thick and heavy, and prone to grease build-up. I’ve tried no poo methods, vinegar rinses, herbal rinses, baking soda, egg yolks, etc. to no avail. I found out about perma earth and got two of these shampoo bars recently to try and read the “tips” that came with them about the transition period when beginning to use the lard soap. however, to my complete surprise, there IS no transition period for me. it worked the very first time I used it! my hair feels fluffy, soft, and free of any build-up or grease. I lather twice in the shower and rinse, and that’s it. I also have not had to re-wash my hair for several days after use.

    I can’t tell you how happy and relieved I am to have finally finally finally found something that works for my hair and that doesn’t introduce all kinds of random chemicals and endocrine disruptors to my body. I’m so excited to try out more of their products!!

    Loveeee this shampoo! It lathers nicely, which I need because I have long and thick hair. It’s definitely harder washing my type of hair with the bar soaps but it’s all worth it! I mean look at the curls I’m achieving with my curler! My hair not only styles better but it’s holds a style longer too! Just make sure to follow the shampooing instructions (found on the website) and you’ll fall in love with your hair!

    This is AMAZING

    caitksoper (verified owner)

    I washed my hair for the first time using this new bar—and my hair already feels amazing. I’ve been using a plant-based shampoo bar for some time already, I don’t condition my hair and very rarely use dry shampoo (just the powder kind). My hair is fine and gets oily within a day or two despite my low maintenance routine and I’ve been looking for a shampoo with more animal products in it. This bar, even though unscented, still has a really like smell to it. I read the instructions again and again and worked up a thick lather and made sure to rinse really well. My hair felt less tangled when combing, and had a really nice clean scent to it. So far it doesn’t feel waxy or heavy—and I think that’s due to me not using a lot of products or normal shampoo/conditioner to begin with. I can’t wait to see how my hair improves moving forward. I also used the bar on just my upper body and noticed how soft my skin felt immediately after my shower. I’m so excited to purchase more body soap and shampoo. I already make my own tallow balm at home but may need to try their whipped tallow.

    So in short, I definitely would recommend this bar even after just one wash!

    Didn’t work for me!

    Claire Simari (verified owner)

    I can tell that this is a high quality shampoo bar and I really, really wanted it to work for my hair but unfortunately, this bar leaves a heavy waxy residue in my hair after a month of use. I have thin waist length hair and I’ve tried everything to make this bar work. Before using this bar, I used all natural Under Luna shampoo and conditioner for three months so, I ruled out the possibility of a prolonged detox phase and I’ve come to the conclusion that maybe this shampoo bar is just too heavy for my thin long hair. I’ve lathered and lathered and rinsed and rinsed and I think it’s just time to try out a different bar before losing hope. Overall, the quality is amazing but this bar is not for me.

      Hi Claire! Our directions repeatedly state that a waxy build up is from improper washing (not applying enough to get a good enough lather) and that we would be happy to help you troubleshoot this in detail over the phone. We state clearly ib multiple pages on our website that this is a common beginner’s adjustment period switching from detergents/surfactants. Just give us a call at 812 414 9735 and we can help you overcome this extremely expected rookie obstacle. Thanks for reaching out, but we wish you would have given us a call before leaving a review as many customers with your hair type have successfully switched from detergents/surfactant shampoos like the one you mentioned.

    Great simple shampoo bar! I usually use one of these in between using some of the more fun or fancy bars. I have noticed that it lathers the best the first few washes, so I always get more excited to open a new bar than to finish the one I have started. These bars have helped my itchy scalp and I usually go three or four days between washes.

      Hi Bailey! Thank you for your feedback! The first few washes being the best lather might be due to leaving the soap in a wet place. Do you use one of our aerating soap dishes? This may help. Since you go so long between washes, we recommend removing the soap from your shower or bath where there may be constant high humidity and putting it in a dryer place to dry more deeply between uses, which should increase the lathering ability more. We hope this helps!

    Kristin Oconnor (verified owner)

    I have used the shampoo bar several times now. Amazing lather and easy to use if you read and follow all directions. My hair had life and volume again. I’m finally able to go about three days before needing to wash again too. Check out my hair I washed three days ago in the pic! 💜

    I love this shampoo! I have wavy/curly hair and it leaves my hair light and bouncy. I rarely use any curl creams now as well. APPROVED

    Love this bar, I have used many of their scented soaps and have loved them all but this is my new favorite! Using it along with a scented conditioner leaves my hair happy and lightly fragranced. I also use it on my face! Never too dry! It is so moisturizing that at times I opt out of the conditioner and my curls feel great!

    I have been using your shampoo bars for about 9 months now and this one is by far the best I have used. My hair is so soft and feels like it has more volume. I think this will be my go-to from now on.

    Best Shampoo Bar I've Tried!!

    ribeyerach (verified owner)

    In the past, I tried tallow shampoo bars and never had any luck. I’m so glad I decided to try this one (thank you for all the information about why lard is often better for hair than tallow)! My hair has never felt better! Also, I’m seriously impressed with how the bar lathers! Definitely give it a try!

    P.S. The packaging is adorable!

    I love this bar. It’s so nice to have just one bar in the shower! I love that it is scent free and is safe for everyone in the family.

    I’ve used this one quite a few times and it is one of my favorites. I love the way it makes my hair feel – I love using this one for shaving as well. Makes my skin feel so soft and nourished.

    Rich and full of moisturizing goodness! I love that my hair dries quickly, and with nearly no frizz whatsoever! I have fine, straight hair, and this bar is not too heavy for my hair type. The lather on this bar isn’t as foamy as others, but no fear – it cleans just as well! Great for those needing an extra boost of moisture help!!!

    With this shampoo, my scalp has never been so healthy.

    jjoeyjjamesjjohnson (verified owner)

    I have had terrible dandruff for a year or so. Nothing would work. I tried every over the counter shampoo and even a prescribed shampoo one time. THEN, I tried this natural shampoo. I’m still going through the detox phase, but my scalp hasn’t been this healthy in years. I absolutely recommend this product to anybody with greasy hair and an unhealthy scalp.

    I love this soap so much! It was my first shampoo bar and I fell in love. Sometimes I don’t want a scented product for my hair and this definitely fits the bill. Great for shaving! I use it on my baby without worrying about harsh chemicals hurting his delicate skin. It’s helped his cradle cap and dry patches on his legs. Just all around a great bar of soap I always want to have on hand.

    Absolutely love. It took me a few tries to master how to use bar shampoo, but it’s been amazing! It gave my hair back it’s natural waviness that was lost from years of putting heat to it. Feels healthy.

    These soaps are the truth for your natural beauty journey. This was the first soap I’ve used with this company and I’m a believer in natural health. For me they are making my skin and hair thrive and I’m delighted with seeing the evolution of the newer products. Cdanielle504

    I was happily using the shampoo bars and conditioner bars and then my hairdresser convinced me they weren’t good for my hair even though I was so happy with my hair. Now I’m back because I was getting this weird dry icky buildup on my scalp from using salon products. I like to pair this bar with a scented conditioner bar (on the ends.) It only took one wash to clear up my scalp. Plus, I like knowing my money is supporting a hard working, caring person. Who responds quickly and genuinely.

    This is my go to. I prefer no essential oils and no fragrances in my products, so I had to try this out. It took 5 washes to get through the detox, and it was so worth it. I wash my hair every 2-3 weeks with this bar, and also use it to wash my body in between. I also have very long hair (past my waist) and medium thickness (definitely not fine or thin but not the thickest I’ve ever seen), so it works for us too! Stick it out!

    This has been my 4th or 5th attempt at finding a bar shampoo that works (I had given up hope in finding on that works). I found this company from the @strong.sistas on instagram and I am so glad I did! This shampoo is amazing and I can’t stop looking at and touching my hair. I have super fine, dry hair that breaks and frizzes easily and all those issues are gone after a week of use (3-4x) with this shampoo. I am also losing less hair in the shower and in my brush. And my hair is sooo shiny and full of body now!

    I do live in an area with extremely hard water and I found a diluted vinegar rinse is necessary after shampooing to keep the greasy/waxy feel at bay. But the results are better than any expensive salon product.

    I also bought a bar conditioner from perma earth, but this shampoo is so moisturizing, I don’t even need conditioner (I apply it to the tips for now).

    Thanks so much for this awesome bar, please don’t discontinue it!

    I just love this shampoo bar. It is very soothing to my scalp and my hair has been growing much more since I started using it in conjunction with the unscented conditioner bar. It has a very nice natural scent, and lasts for a long time . My boy friend loves this shampoo bar too. 🙂
    It is the best shampoo I have ever tried.
    Thank you perma-earth!
    I will order again.

    I bleached my hair for years and years and it had pretty much withered away to nothing before I started using this shampoo. Now it’s thick and full AND some of my natural curls have returned! I can feel the difference using this soap makes—my hair is softer and healthier and my scalp is less irritated since there’s no yucky chemicals or bad fragrances. I honestly didn’t even realize what a toll “normal” shampoos and conditioners from beauty salons were taking on my hair until I switched. If you’re thinking about buying this shampoo bar, think no more! Just do it!

    Simple and clean, lathers well. I use this all over my body, as shampoo, as well as on my face. Locks in moisture and also leaves by hair feeling clean.

    I love everything about this shampoo bar. I find that its very soothing to my scalp and my hair has been growing much more since I started using it in conjunction with the unscented conditioner bar. It lathers up easily, has a mild natural scent, and lasts for a long time (and I have a lot of hair so if you have short hair it would last even longer). If I had to use just one shampoo for the rest of my life, this would be it!

    I’ve used this bar twice as both a shampoo and body soap. I love the look of the bar! It reminds me of ivory hues in rococo designs and I could look at it all day. It produces a scentless fluffy lather and if used as just a body soap lasts a long while, even when using shower gloves. I will continue to buy this and have it on hand to use along with my other bars.

    So happy I purchased this shampoo bar. It works beautifully for my fine hair and feels great on the scalp. I’ve been looking for a basic, nourishing, unscented shampoo product and this one is the best I’ve tried! You really don’t need to use very much to get your hair clean so it will last you quite some time.

    Another staple bar for me. I like having something with minimal scent. It lathers great and I generally use it on my face after the exfoliating bar. For the price point, I think it’s a must have.

    This bar is great! You wouldn’t think that a lard soap would sud up and leave you squeaky clean but my, oh my it does! It even leaves my hair squeaky clean even after an oily pre-poo and leaves my scalp clean with no itch! I am also one with extremely sensitive skin and one thing i noticed after 1 week is that my legs aren’t breaking out after my shower which is a constant issue for me even with other natural soaps. IT’S GREAT! This bar alone replaced my shampoo and body wash and i couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

    LOVE this shampoo/body bar. Has done wonders for my thick, out of control curly hair moving to a city that has terribly hard water. I was not as familiar with lard soap before my purchase and am happy I tried it. Leaves my hair feeling deeply cleaned. My hair Stylist has said “to keep up whatever I am using” as she could not see any damage, which has not been said to me in years from using the expensive name brand salon products.

    Very happy with this unscented traditional bar of soap/shampoo. It makes my hair look darker, shinier and thicker. The most expensive shampoo in the drugstore made with chemicals can’t compare to this, the high quality all natural ingredients give good effective results. I am absolutely in love with this type of traditional lard soap and i’m so happy to find it here.
