Designed for those who seek simplicity above all, this solid shampoo embraces the beauty of the essential. No essential oils, no fragrance overload — just time-honored botanical powders and nourishing plant oils, chosen for their gentle effectiveness.

Inspired by traditional hair care rituals, fenugreek seed and orris root have been used for centuries to support scalp comfort, hydration, and hair softness. A quiet, grounding formula that lets the hair breathe and return to its natural balance.

Why “hydrating”?

Because this shampoo focuses on moisture and softness without stimulation — ideal for sensitive scalps, fragrance-free routines, and everyday use.

Fenugreek seed powder — traditionally used to support scalp comfort and hydration

Orris root powder — softens the hair and helps improve manageability

Broccoli oil, jojoba oil, shea butter & argan oil — deeply nourish, smooth, and protect the hair fiber

The result: clean, hydrated hair that feels soft, calm, and naturally balanced — without excess, without compromise.

Scent

Naturally subtle and herbal.
No added essential oils — just the quiet, earthy softness of botanical powders and plant oils. Simple. Clean. Essential.

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.

Our solid shampoo bars are a sustainable choice for both your hair and the planet. Each bar replaces up to three traditional plastic shampoo bottles, helping to reduce plastic waste. Handcrafted locally in Maine using 100% plant-based ingredients, our shampoo bars come in entirely plastic-free packaging that is recyclable or compostable. Once your bar is finished, there’s zero footprint left behind—just clean hair and a cleaner environment.

plant oils & butters

jojoba seed oil

simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil

Jojoba oil is so similar to sebum and has a high vitamin E content, it's an an excellent skin softener that can smooth dry skin, prevent flakiness, and improve skin elasticity.

plant oils & butters

argan oil

argania spinosa kernel (argan) oil

Argan oil can hydrate and moisturize the skin, and can help with acne, stretch marks, and signs of aging. It can also treat minor skin rashes, bug bites, and skin infections. Argan oil is soothing and anti-inflammatory, and can help with damaged skin, eczema, and dry skin.

plant-derived actives

hydrolyzed silk protein

hydrolyzed silk

Hydrolyzed silk is a natural ingredient that is derived from the leftover cocoons made by silkworms. It works especially well to add luster and shine to hair. The majority of hydrolyzed silk protein are preserved with Phenoxyethanol, but ours is preserved with Potassium Sorbate, a natural organic compound found in the berries of the mountain ash and Benzilalcohol, a naturally occuring product most commonly found in plants (cranberries, apricot, ylang ylang).

plant oils & butters

shea butter

butyrospermum parkii

A rich, plant-based butter extracted from the nuts of the Shea tree.
Naturally high in vitamins A and E, it deeply nourishes and protects both skin and hair from dryness and harsh conditions. Our Shea butter is raw, unrefined, and hand-crafted by women’s co-operatives in Africa — pure, ethical, and full of care.

plant oils & butters

coconut oil

cocos nucifera

Extracted from the fresh flesh of mature coconuts, this oil is rich in medium-chain fatty acids that nourish and protect.
Coconut oil helps restore softness, hydration, and strength to both skin and hair, leaving them smooth and naturally radiant.
Ours is cold-processed to preserve its purity and gentle tropical scent.

Lovely shampoo!

I love this shampoo bar! It creates rich suds easily and leaves my hair feeling so clean without drying it out. Chickadees are my favorite bird so I love seeing the little chickadee on the bar :)

Sustainable Suds

I love how this shampoo produces a nice thick lather. It is easy to use. My hair feels clean and strong after I use it, and the smell is not overpowering. After shampooing your hair simply smells clean. I highly recommend this shampoo. It feels good and it is good for the planet.

Look no further

I was interested in trying the solid shampoo from an environmental perspective and also because I am planning a backpacking trip and need to keep the pack light. I was not sure which shampoo to try so I wrote to these gentleman and explained that I had naturally wavy/curly , textured hair and I wanted something calming and anti frizz. They promptly gave me two options and after trying the plain and simple shampoo I do not need to look further. I see there is a new conditioner and plan to try this too, although I don't need it per se.... this in and of itself is miraculous! I am so happy to have such a quality company with such great service right here in Maine.

great shampoo

This shampoo bar smells wonderful and also works! It makes my hair feel so soft, yet clean. I am looking forward to a bar conditioner even though you probably don't need any conditioner with this product.

Love this bar!!

It smells good, but not perfumy, just fresh. I love the size (big enough but not too big) and the lather. I use it as shampoo and as soap. Plus, it’s made in Maine and there’s no plastic in the packaging (amen).
All around terrific product!
