🌱 ABOUT THE SHAMPOO BAR:
Created for oily or combination hair, this solid shampoo produces a rich lather that leaves the hair and scalp feeling thoroughly cleansed and refreshed.
Activated charcoal helps absorb excess oil and lift away everyday build-up during washing, making the bar a practical choice for hair that can quickly begin to feel greasy or heavy.
The formula combines Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI), Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSA), decyl glucoside and cocamidopropyl betaine for effective cleansing.
Bergamot, black pepper and basil essential oils create a distinctive aroma that balances bright citrus with fresh herbs and gently warming spice.
Weight: Approx. 46g
🖤 THE AROMA:
Fresh and aromatic, combining citrusy bergamot with herbaceous basil and the warm, spicy character of black pepper.
🌿 KEY INGREDIENTS:
Activated Charcoal – Helps absorb excess oil and lift away everyday build-up during washing.
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate & Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate – Cleansing ingredients that create a generous, creamy lather. SLSA is a different ingredient from SLS.
Decyl Glucoside & Cocamidopropyl Betaine – Help cleanse the hair and contribute to the bar’s satisfying lather.
Cocoa Butter – Helps give the bar its firm texture while supporting a softer feel after washing.
Bergamot, Black Pepper & Basil Essential Oils – Create the bar’s fresh citrus, herbal and spicy aroma.
Apple Cider Vinegar – Included as part of the balanced shampoo formulation.
✨ WHY IT’S DIFFERENT:
This concentrated solid shampoo combines effective cleansing ingredients with activated charcoal for hair that can feel oily or weighed down between washes.
It provides the familiar lather of liquid shampoo without the plastic bottle and is formulated without SLS, SLES, parabens or synthetic fragrance.
🫧 SUITABLE FOR:
• Oily or combination hair
• Hair that can feel greasy or heavy between washes
• Cleansing away everyday product build-up
• Anyone who enjoys fresh, citrus and herbal scents
• Plastic-free bathroom routines
• Travel, gym bags and hand luggage
💧 HOW TO USE:
Wet your hair and the shampoo bar thoroughly.
Either rub the bar between your wet hands to create a lather or glide it gently over your hair. Massage the lather through your hair and scalp, concentrating particularly around the roots, before rinsing thoroughly.
Repeat if required and follow with your preferred conditioner.
Allow the bar to drain and dry completely between uses. Keeping it away from standing water will help it last longer.

This shampoo bar arrived in a really cute tin. Perfect for travel and smells good too
I can’t rate this shampoo highly enough. I switched from a well known mainstream brand and my hair is so happy. The shampoo smells amazing, lathers well and lasts ages.
I’ve tried maaannnny shampoo bars as I’m trying to cut down on plastic, and this is by far the best - it lathers a satisfying amount and doesn’t leave your hair dry or feeling half-washed. Also smells amazing and is great for your scalp. Five stars!
These lather really well and also smell amazing. Makes my hair wonderfully soft
I was a little skeptical about trying the shampoo bar but want to reduce my plastic usage. I wasn't sure which one to pick - the Thistle Soapery team were brilliant at advising me and offering insights in how to transition to a shampoo bar. Normally my hair is quite frizzy and I have to use straighteners to tame the frizz but so far it's been outstanding. I've had the bar for nearly 2 weeks and only had to wash my hair 3 times, not had to use my straighteners at all as NO FRIZZ and my hair feels lush. Very impressed.
