We’ve been making soaps for over a year now, and it has become something very passionate, and personal to us. Every recipe is a creation based on a person’s hair type, and needs. I, personally, am completely head over heels with soap making. It’s like how henna body art is to me. Just a way to make a special recipe, and come out with an amazing creation.

There have been some changes to our shampoo bars recently. We felt it was necessary to update, and change a few things about each recipe to improve on it, and especially based on feedback. We also changed the packaging, and labelling. All the materials we use for packaging are recycable, or made of recycled materials. The shape of our bars are now perfectly uniform, and larger in size. Any handmade product varies from time to time, but we strive to maintain consistency in soap making.

• Our herbal infusions are now done over a longer period of time (from 4-5 days) to ensure best results. We feel this is very important to make sure to extract all the benefits from these herbs directly in 100% pure olive oil. Some herbs take longer then others. This would be considered the low-heat method.
• Cocoveda Shampoo Bar: Now made with organic coconut milk, and organic henna powder. The bar is better blended, and lumps no longer exist as before. Still smells yummy, and lathers really well.
• Soapnut Shampoo Bar: We have increased the amount of soapnut powder (aritha) that is added to this bar, to give a good deep cleanse. This bar has always been perfect for deep cleansing, especially from the use of daily hair products.
• Argan Oil: This bar has probably had the biggest changes made yet. We have increased the amount of argan oil (we used to be told that it got a little gummy in texture) by at least 6% more. The beeswax we use in this bar, is higher quality, extra filtered, and is gotten directly from a bee farm. It now has a smoother, more creamy texture.
• Sweet Honey: Now with organic cassia obovata. This bar has become very popular over the last few months.
• Moroccan Clay: This recipe will now have coconut oil as part of it, for a better lather, and to add hardness, as we have completely altered this recipe. We want it to be smooth to the touch, and increasing certain oils to make it more moisturizing, and rich with ghassoul clay.

We also have a brand new addition to our shampoo bar line: Berhempsu. This shampoo bar is made with hemp oil, shea butter, babassu, olive oil, castor oil, golden jojoba oil, grape seed extract, fig fruit extract, and bergamot essential oil. It is great for all hair types.

Bergamot is definetely one of my newest favorite essential oils. It is a citrus oil, but with a hint of lavender/softness. Grape seed extract is known to help fight skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and help combat dandruff. Fig fruit extract is high in Vitamin C and Vitamin A. It is also beneficial in reducing superficial surface skin cells – leaving the skin refreshed and renewed.

Berhempsu is in my shower right now. I’m addicted to it, and it’s become part of my hair regimen. I love those extra end pieces (from the log)!!

Our samples bars are also much bigger now, so give them a try!!

Just a tip: Should you find that after you wash your hair with one of our shampoo bars, that you hair feels a bit greasy, then you may need an ACV rinse, or to use conditioner afterwards. Sometimes some bars are also very rich with moisturizing oils, and superfatted oils, so choose the right shampoo bar for you based on your hair type, and needs.
