This solid shampoo bar is amazing. It's different from the chemical heavy, detergent based shampoos you purchase at your hair stylist, grocery store or drug store. It's perfect for those of us who don't want to use shampoos with chemicals and detergents and it's also great for those of us who need some help repairing the damage that comes from using those chemicals and detergents.



One of the worst chemicals that is present in nearly all commercial, synthetic shampoos and other cosmetics is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), which also goes by sodium laureth sulfate. Putting chemicals like SLS on your skin or scalp may actually be worse than eating them. When you eat something, the enzymes in your saliva and stomach help to break it down and flush it out of your body. However, when you put these chemicals on your skin, they are absorbed straight into your bloodstream without filtering of any kind, going directly to your delicate organs. SLS also contains dioxane, a known a carcinogen. SLS strips the hair and skin of protective oils (our protection against rashes and infection) normally found on the surface of the skin. This is why if you don’t shampoo daily, you start to feel itchy. Why?! SLS is a detergent that strips your skin of its natural oils in order to make bubbles.



* SLS can attack the hair follicle and cause hair loss * Yikes!



You will find no SLS in our shampoo bars.



What you will find is:



Organic RAW Apple Cider Vinegar. Shampooing typically increases pH factor. Human hair is acidic, with a pH factor of 4 to 6. Apple cider vinegar has a pH factor of about 4. Using ACV helps restore your hair’s natural pH balance, which also helps maintain your hair’s protective layer. Our shampoo bars typically measure at a pH of 7.5 - 8.5 instead of the 9+ most natural shampoos boast. Apple cider vinegar eliminates nasty chemicals and dead cells from your scalp. This allows the skin to breathe naturally and opens the pores in the skin. A healthy scalp prevents dandruff build-up and flaky scalp. ACV also has anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities that can eliminate any itchiness.



Canola oil has some great qualities for hair soap. It won't leave behind a lot of oils or residues that are going to weigh down or slick up your hair.



Castor oil is famous for skin & hair repair and is a wonderful nourishing oil. It is the only oil that contains Ricinoleic acid which is also a conditioning acid.



Coconut oil is a great cleanser. It removes excess oil from your skin/hair when saponified. It makes super bubbles, I love it. It also makes the bars harder.



Shea butters ingredients lead to the improvement of the scalp structure. Shea butter improves existing hair and gives birth to new hair.



Sunflower oil is rich in vitamins like A, B, C and E and minerals like iron, potassium and calcium. The content of essential nutrients, antioxidants and fatty acids in sunflower oil make it highly beneficial for hair health. Sunflower oil is known to have high levels of Oleic Acid, which is an Omega 9 acid. This Omega 9 acid is known to be one of the essential acids that are needed to be a part of your diet to stimulate natural hair growth. This Omega 9 acid is also responsible in preventing brittle hair and hair loss.



Jojoba oil is very high in monounsaturated fatty acids (98% of total fatty acids); also rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E (very rich in), Myristic Acid (a saturated fatty acid), Plant Wax (similar to sebum). Which means it is readily accepted by the scalp and does not mess with the scalp’s natural balance. It works well as an agent for reducing hygral fatigue (the swelling and shrinking of hair as it it gets wet and dries that can weaken the hair fiber over time). As a conditioner jojoba helps to add shine, elasticity and softness to hair. Jojoba is an emollient – it fills in cracks that are on the surface of the hair cuticle, i.e. it helps to repair hair damaged by heat and styling.



Neem Oil is an all around skin healer and is called natures pharmacy for a reason. As it is anti fungal it can really help with dandruff or issues that cause dandruff. Anti bacterial and anti microbial, it can improve the health of your scalp.



Now we get to the infusion. Grapeseed oil is a lightweight oil which we use to infuse our hair-centric herbal blend.



* Neem Leaf Powder

* Nettle Leaf

* Saw Palmetto

* Horsetail

* Birchbark

* Rosemary

* Burdock Root



The Saw Palmetto, Nettle and Rosemary are natural DHT blockers! (Actually the Rosemary oil is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor) Neem leaf powder helps to fight skin ailments like fungus, bacteria and microbes that can harm your scalp and cause itchy patches and dandruff. All these ingredients are infused into the oil and impart their goodness to the oil which we use in our shampoo bars 2 different ways. We use the infused oil in our base recipe and then we also add it again, towards the end of the production process (along with more apple cider vinegar, the neem oil, burdock root oil and jojoba oil) to make sure that the actual herbal and oil properties are present and not cooked out.



This is the best shampoo bar I've ever used, and I've used a lot of them. This shampoo may help your hair grow by resolving problems that hinder hair from growing. Some of those problems include dry scalp, sluggish blood flow, imbalanced sebaceous glands, follicles that might be stressed from aggressive combing or tight braids and irritated scalp from scratching or chemical processing (including dyes, perms and relaxers).



If you're new to shampoo bars, you may notice that your hair feels different - and squeakier! You’ll probably go through a transition period. This is normal. Commercial, liquid shampoos tend to strip your hair of all its natural oils which in turn makes your scalp over produce those oils to compensate. For some it takes a while for your scalp to get used to it. For others it isn’t even an issue. Use the entire bar before deciding if this shampoo is for you. I've also found that after a while, I didn't need to use a conditioner. I use a bit of vinegar and water as a rinse to get rid of tangles, if necessary and that's it. One less thing!

What Others are Saying:



"Been using this for a couple of washes so far and it may be the best shampoo I've used for flaky scalp. I've used just about every anti-dandruff shampoo available, I've tried CO washing, masks, etc. This one has done a great job so far. My scalp is not 100% clear, but it's definitely 60-70% better after four washes. I never thought that I'd get back to this point. It does feel drying the first few times, but my hair is still adjusting. I've started to use the recommended ACV rinse as a follow up and my hair seems even happier with that. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of this bar works out. If it continues to work this way, I might have a holy grail shampoo for life. Thank you!"

"I love the effects on my hair from using this shampoo bar and it's only been one week. My hair is shinier and softer. The mild, natural fragrance and sudsing action are perfect. It's also perfect for traveling - no leaking bottles to worry about. Thank you WildlandBotanicals for my new shampoo!"

"I will forever keep buying this shampoo bar for as long and Wildland Botanicals sells it! It's the most amazing shampoo I've come across. It's stopped my breakage completely. It took my hair about a week to adjust but it was very much worth it!"

"Shipped fast. Thoughtful packaging and helpful info included. And I love the soap. I have Hashimotos and my hair was a thinning horrible mess. Not to mention my scalp was itchy. I had to wash my hair everyday and it still looked awful. With this shampoo bar my scalp is healthy and my hair looks so much better. I can go up to three days without washing and I can even see new growth. Thank you!"

If you suffer from a serious medical condition or have a severe allergy, are pregnant or breastfeeding please consult your doctor prior to beginning use of this or any other skin care product. Also, first perform a spot test to check for any skin reactions, before starting the full usage of this product. Discontinue use if any adverse reaction occurs. All items are handmade in small batches so differences in color and texture often happen.



PS. Keep the bar dry between uses and it will last longer. By that I mean keep your shampoo bar out of the shower when you're not using it and let the water drain off. Each bar is a minimum of 6 oz but most are somewhere between 6 and 6.5 ounces. Also consider cutting the bar into pieces. Its soft so it's easy. Take a piece off the bar and put the rest away until you need it.



PPS. Don't be surprised if you found some botanicals in your shampoo... Birchbark and horsetail are kinda floaty and they escape when I try to get them out. 😜. It's all good.
