SKU: SHV2 Category:

The Lemon Shampoo Bar delivers a wonderfully uplifting scent that also happens to be an excellent degreaser. This bar is a natural fit for oily or greasy hair. Yellow clay works alongside it to lift away excess build up, so it's a bar that's as functional as it is fresh.

Suits: Normal to fine hair, especially those looking for a fresh, clarifying cleanse. Particularly suited to oily hair.

Formulator's note: Lemon essential oil is like liquid sunshine for me – I can’t help but feeling happy when I smell it! It’s quite distinctive from the other citrus oils like grapefruit, although I love that one too. I use it at home for everything from skincare to dishwasher tablets. Being a natural degreaser with such a fresh scent, it was a perfect pairing for a shampoo bar to tackle greasy roots.

What is a shampoo bar? A solid bar of surfactants, plant oils, butters and clay that lathers hair clean. There are several benefits to using a shampoo bar over a liquid but the top 3 are:

  • Little packaging - no plastic bottles to recycle.
  • Long lasting - a single bar can last for several months.
  • Travel friendly - no liquids and can be bought with a travel tin. This makes them refillable as well.

You can read more on switching to solid shampoo and conditioner in the blog.

Did you know: British sailors were once nicknamed "limeys" because citrus fruit (including lemon) was carried on long voyages to prevent scurvy. The vitamin C that protected their health is the same thing valued in skincare today.

Curious what these ingredient names mean? We’ve explained the key ones on our About Us page.

Using a shampoo bar for the first time can take some getting used to. Wet your hair thoroughly. You can either swipe the bar directly through your strands a few times and lather, or lather it briefly between your palms first before applying to your head. Work from roots to tips. Rinse thoroughly and repeat if you feel you need a deeper clean.

Each bar is a minimum of 80g and gives roughly 60 washes, working out at about 18p a wash. How far yours goes depends on your hair length and how often you wash. Even washing long hair four to five times a week, a bar can comfortably last three to four months (assuming no one else in the house borrows it!).

A gentle note on care: for external use only. Avoid direct eye contact and application to the mucous membranes or broken skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Not suitable for children under the age of 3.

Watch how to use a shampoo and conditioner bar here.

Leave your bar to dry out fully between washes. Leaving it sitting in a puddle of water is the fastest way to shorten its life. A draining soap dish or a dish with holes works well. Once dry, it’s happy stored in one of our travel tins for the washbag or in the bathroom cupboard.
