Shampoo With A Purpose is great for the environment as well as your hair and your wallet. This 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner bar replaces 6 bottles of shampoo and fits in the palm of your hand. You don't need a separate conditioner and we're not shipping around well over a litre of water when compared to the equal amount of liquid shampoo and conditioner. They are formulated without animal products (Shampoo With A Purpose is vegan), without palm oil or any animal testing. They are also Australian owned and operated.
What are the core ingredients and additives used in Shampoo With A Purpose?
Each of the 4 bars have a set of core ingredients in common then each bar has additional ingredients to help treat specific issue. Guar gum is in each bar not only as a thickening agent, but to help condition your hair as you wash. To get your sulfate free lather, sodium cocoyl isethionate is used and it's derived from coconut oil. It's one of the mildest and safest surfactants on the market today.
The glycerine used in Shampoo With A Purpose comes from canola or soybean oil (not palm oil) and it draws moisture to itself to help protect the scalp. It also makes a great frizz controller. Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (known as Moroccan Argan Oil) is rich in natural fatty acids which are essential for assisting hair growth and balancing the sebum being produced. It also helps the glycerine control frizz.
The shea butter used by Shampoo With A Purpose is fair trade certified and does everything from help to define curls to control frizz, soothe itchy skin, product from UV damage and reduce breakage. While these shampoo bars are not recognised dandruff treatments, many of the ingredients used protect and nurture the scalp as a preventative measure.
