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!

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. Learn more here
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.

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!
Unscented, Fragrance-Free
INTENSITY: Light/None
Any scent detected is from the nature of the ingredients or being in our building that also houses other scented products, we try to separate them as much as possible.
INGREDIENTS: Saponified Fats of Local Pasture-Raised Lard, Local Raw Grass-Fed Buttermilk, Babassu Oil*, Extra-Virgin Cold-Pressed Olive Oil*, Hexane-Free Castor Oil*, Golden Jojoba Oil*, Abyssinian Oil*, and Kaolin Clay.
Brush or rub your prewetted bar directly onto your dripping wet hair and head until enough amount remains to thoroughly lather all soap remnants throughout the hair.
Add a little bit of water, not enough to wash away the soap though.
Massage deeply into the hair and scalp.
Work to achieve a thick and foamy lather all over your hair and scalp – this is extremely important. If you do not achieve this, you will need to apply more soap or a little water to work it up. Do not let lather sit in hair for too long after a good lather is achieved.
Immediately rinse well after a thorough lather is acheived all throughout the hair and scalp.
If this is your first time using a totally natural shampoo soap, then you will probably need to wash again as natural shampoos loosen the silicones and waxes from the hair that sulfate-based or detergent-based shampoos leave behind. Our clay-based formula helps with this natural detox, but it can take multiple washes (7-10) to completely get the desired results. We highly recommend washing at least once or twice per day for beginners to quicken the detox period. After the detox period is complete (7-10 washes) and/or you are getting the desired results, we recommend not washing your hair more than once per day or going up to a week between washes! Many customers find they need to wash their hair less with our shampoo soap bars! Most customers wash their hair every other day or every 3 days.
Do not wash your hair more than twice per day (24 hour period).
Store your bar in a well-ventilated place, away from water, and out of direct sunlight or heat exposure.
Best to allow to dry completely between uses.
One soap bar can last 10-60 shampoo washes depending on hair length and thickness.
Practice makes perfect! ♥

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.
Undetermined – this product is very shelf-stable and can last a few years from manufacture date (on price tag) before going rancid as long as it is stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
Please do not attempt to refrigerate to preserve as this can hasten expiry with condensation once thawed.
We do recommend using within 1 year of purchase for best results, as scents and contents do fade and break down over time.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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 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 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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
