Inspired by the warmth of distant forests, this shampoo bar invites you into a soft, grounding olfactory journey. The creamy, woody depth of sandalwood meets a subtle earthy hint of patchouli, creating a scent that feels warm, exotic, and deeply comforting.

It evokes sun-warmed wood, quiet mornings, and that cozy, peaceful feeling that gently settles over the senses. Subtly masculine yet beautifully universal, this fragrance is balanced, natural, and refined — made for everyone. Designed to turn your shower into a small moment of calm, this shampoo creates a rich, creamy lather while leaving your hair refreshed, balanced, and incredibly soft.

Why “balancing”?

Because it brings together the right botanicals to cleanse, nourish, and regulate — without stripping or weighing down your hair.

  • Shikakai powder — a traditional botanical cleanser that gently purifies, calms the scalp, and adds natural volume
  • Jojoba oil — helps regulate sebum production and restores moisture
  • Shea butter & argan oil — deeply nourish the hair fiber, adding softness and shine
  • Sandalwood & patchouli essential oils — soothe the scalp and help strengthen and protect the lengths

The result: hair that feels clean for longer, light yet nourished, soft to the touch, with a scalp that feels calm and perfectly balanced.

Switching from liquid to solid shampoo might feel a little unusual at first, but it’s easier than you think!

Simply wet your scalp, hair, and the shampoo bar, then gently rub the bar to create a rich lather. Massage your hair and scalp with your hands, rinse thoroughly, and you’re done. Keep your bar in a dry spot between washes to make it last.

Gentle, nourishing, and crafted with care, this solid shampoo uses SCI (coconut-derived fatty acids), one of the mildest, non-irritating cleansing ingredients available. It’s enriched with Shea Butter to moisturize and soothe the scalp, Coconut Oil for shine and density, Vegetable Glycerin for hydration, Silk Protein to smooth and soften, Argan Oil to revitalize, and Jojoba Oil to rebalance and nourish hair of all types. Ayurvedic powders, clays, and essential oils complete the blend for a truly natural, luxurious hair care experience.
