Bar shampoo

A clarifying shampoo bar with apricot and jojoba oils, with no added fragrance or colour. It replaces the plastic bottle: the bar comes in a small cardboard box. The maker recommends it for fine to wavy hair; the pictured box says "for normal hair".

Its vegan, biodegradable, 100% bio-based formula is not tested on animals. The Unscented Company, a company with roots in Montréal, makes it in Canada from ingredients sourced around the world.

Format: 65 g (2.3 oz) bar; stored properly, it lasts about 50 to 75 washes.

How to apply: wet your hair and moisten the bar under water. Work it into a lather in your hands, shampoo as usual, then rinse thoroughly.

Storage: let the bar dry on a draining soap dish, away from water drips and humidity. Keep it away from heat and light: it can melt at very high temperatures.

Precautions: for external use only. Avoid the eye area and stop use if irritation occurs.
