New Hair Care Range: what's changed?

Solid shampoo is not the easiest product to adopt. We, in the West, are rather attached to the liquid gel texture, very foamy, with strong fragrances… But these liquid shampoos generate a lot of disposable plastic bottles. Moreover, they are composed largely of water and ingredients derived from petrochemicals such as silicones.

This is why we really wanted to offer you a solid hair care range. Being certified ORGANIC, we cannot allow ourselves to use the same ingredients as some competitors, such as SCI (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate), an anionic surfactant that is very common, easy to incorporate into formulas, and produces abundant and creamy foam. But its extraction method is very polluting for the environment, so it is not accepted in ORGANIC products.

Initially, we therefore turned to SCG (Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate), a very mild surfactant accepted in ORGANIC products that we use in all our foaming products (toothpastes, facial cleansing care, dermatological cleansing bars) to formulate our first two solid shampoos for dry hair and oily hair. But its drawback is that it does not foam “ enough .” This is the main feedback we have received since their launch… This lack of foam does not allow for proper removal of excess sebum from the scalp and hair roots, causing a “ waxy effect ” for some people. Despite our advice and explanations to help you use our shampoos better, we understood that we needed to rework the formula.

After numerous tests lasting more than a year, our R&D team has therefore chosen a new pair of surfactants : SCS (Sodium Coco Sulfate) and Decyl Glucoside , both of natural origin and approved for ORGANIC. The SCS transformation process is clean (hydrolysis / reduction, etc.). It causes no negative impact on the environment and complies with the aquatic toxicity and biodegradability tests required by the Cosmos standard. These two foaming agents allow us to improve the sensory experience of our solid shampoos, developing a richer and creamier foam, easy to distribute over the entire scalp and hair. We have also removed overly rich ingredients, such as shea butter, and replaced them with lighter vegetable oils.We have also reworked the fragrances to ensure they are more noticeable and pleasant in the shower. Finally, to appeal to a wider audience, we have decided to expand the range by offering two new solid shampoos: for normal hair and curly hair! The formulas are still 100% natural origin and contain no petrochemical-derived ingredients. These reformulations have allowed us to revise our prices, so they are now offered at the new price of instead of for the same volume as before (85 ml, about 40 uses). We can afford this because we are the manufacturers: there is no intermediary between us and you.

Finally, we have also reformulated our solid conditioner for two reasons :

• to improve its melting and its deposit on the lengths
• to improve its scent (the hair conditioner we had chosen did not smell very good and the fragrance was not enough to mask it)

Now it melts much better and smells wonderfully good (notes of monoi and coconut)!

All are suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women , as well as children from 3 years old . The Yuka scores vary depending on the fragrances (100% natural) because they naturally contain allergens that are rated poorly on the app.
