Don’t forget to pair our shampoo soap with a conditioner – also perfect for all hair types!
This is the perfect introductory bar to our line of shampoo, body, and shaving soaps as it is made with a variety of the best oils and animal fats in terms of luxurious quality. It is our least expensive bar we offer in this category due to the absence of any fragrance or essential oil. We always try to keep this one in stock!
Scent Strength: Light to None
HAIR & SKIN
Experience true food for your hair and skin with real, traditionally crafted soap. Our artisan shampoo bars are handmade with carefully curated local ingredients – proudly sourced from small family farms and homegrown here in the USA. What we can’t source locally, we can assure are of the highest quality: certified organic, minimally processed, and fair-trade ingredients to feed your hair and skin from the outside-in.
Our All-In-One Shampoo – Body – Shaving soap bars will work wonders for any hair type when used correctly and regularly (read directions here).
Perfect for regular body washing, face washing, and shaving as well, explained below.
Our ingredients are LOW on the comedogenic scale – so your pores are nourished and cleansed, but never clogged.
Pasture-Raised, Pure, Hand-Rendered Lard feeds your hair and skin extra-nourishing fatty acids and Vitamin D3 for reducing frizz and extra moisturization. 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 at low temperatures.

Local, Raw, Farm-Fresh, Grass-fed, Hand-Cultured Buttermilk to feed your hair the perfect food – high in essential vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. The famously beautiful Egyptian Queen Cleopatra was a wise proponent, bathing in fresh buttermilk daily. Learn more here
Certified Organic Babassu Oil provides extra foamy lather to build mounds of thick bubbles. This makes cleansing your hair an easy 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 soap provides a rich, smooth, silky shine to hair shafts while also retaining a mild cleanse. Olive oil is unique in that it’s very moisturizing, but not too 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 lather and strengthens the hair shafts.
Certified Organic Golden Jojoba Oil is actually a type of liquid plant wax that is proposed to be very similar to our skin’s sebum. 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 scientific studies, Abyssinian 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 the scalp. This natural earthen mineral 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.
Don’t settle for anything less than the absolute best for your hair and skin! We stand by our guarantee of satisfaction after a decade of making haircare and skincare products. If you do have any issues, we are always happy to help make it right.

The washing process and the feel of a good shampoo soap wash is very different from regular chemical poos. Most beginners need to read all the details of the instructions and practice multiple times in order to get it perfect. Remember, we are working for a lifetime of healthier hair, that may take a little effort on the rookie’s end!
Beginners: please purchase 3 (THREE) shampoo bars to give our shampoo a good shot, preferably with our unscented buttercream shampoo soap for first-timers as a clean slate so you know how your hair does with our basic formula. Any other additives may effect some hair types, which is why we recommend our basic formula for beginners. Your first 1-2 bars will go by much faster due to the adjustment period. Please keep reading.
Most experienced users only need an average of 2 shampoo soap bars every 30 days.
Also, go ahead and grab a conditioner bar-to-liquid (half size unscented), just in case you may need one sometime down the road… Most happily discover that they need a lot less conditioner when using our nourishing shampoo soaps! So it is wise to only try the conditioner after your shampoo adjustment period: if you are getting a good cleanse after the shampoo wash (no soap residues), but just need more moisture and manageability in some areas, then the conditioner would be a great addition to your washing routine. Please keep in mind that your conditioning needs may differ using different shampoo soaps. Try to skip the conditioner when trying any new shampoo soap for the first time until you determine if you need some after drying. Do not over apply the conditioner (bar or liquid) in places where you may not need it with our nourishing shampoo soaps, or else your hair may feel heavy unnecessarily.
A HALF SIZE conditioner bar will last most users up to 6 shampoo soap bars (or 3 months), while a FULL SIZE conditioner bar will last most users up to 12 shampoo soap bars (or up to 6 months).
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/
We recommend washing 2 times per day in the beginning (first time users) until you have no detox symptoms. If you don’t have any detox symptoms, that’s great! Sometimes these symptoms are just a result of 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/
So it can take a beginner as little as 7-10 days* (14-20 washes*) to go through 1 full size (3.0-3.5 ounce) shampoo soap. Once the new user has adjusted, they often start to go every 1-2 days* without washing, and finally up to washing only once a week* in some cases. Therefore, once a user has become experienced and comfortable with properly using shampoo soaps, 1 shampoo soap bar can last one user up to 1 to 3 months* if they only use it for washing their hair and they store it properly (covered in directions link above).
*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 faster you will use the shampoo soaps.
Hair Growth Our shampoo bars tend to cause faster and thicker hair growth. As an effect, more frequent colorings or treatments may be needed for 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 these customers to weigh the benefit of healthier, thicker and faster-growing hair with their more frequent semi-permanent hair treatments.
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 and definition than what you are used to while using detergent or sulfate-base haircare products.
Healthier & Cleaner Our shampoo bars help reduce the waste of water transport, plastic containers, and dispensers that are so often chosen for convenience with liquid conditioners and shampoos. 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 clean and naturally nourished hair, you also end up with a cleaner environment!
Due to the natural and handcrafted quality of our products and ingredients, we cannot guarantee exact replicas of texture, scent or feel of every batch.

A non-negotiable 4% handling fee which includes required shipping insurance is now automatically added to every order during checkout for coverage in cases of lost or damaged packages (please see full policies for all details on these processes). This is due to the fact that postal services have decreased in quality to the point of where we need to physically drive and drop off the packages at the counter to get a receipt for verification as the postal service no longer verifies over five (5) package pickups from any business throughout our state of Indiana (and in other states as well). The postal services are also now requiring the receiver to bring in entire damaged package for any item damage claims, handing them over to the postal service for further inspection. We feel this is unreasonable for all parties, so instead we can simply replace/refund those instances with these fees. Also if a package is finally ruled as lost (which has become more common everywhere) we will be able to replace/refund those with a swiftness that postal claim processes do not allow.

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!
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!

Amazing 🤩
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! 💜
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.
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!
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!
This is an all time favorite of mine that I get with every order. Love it so much and it’s such a soft, natural scent, and just as luxurious as the name makes it sound.
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.

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!

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!

Amazing 🤩

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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.
