FAQ

A hydrating shampoo bar delivers the same cleanse as liquid shampoo but in a concentrated, solid form. One bar can last as long as three bottles of bottled shampoo, while being free from sulfates and parabens. With ingredients like argan oil, hyaluronic acid, and glycerine, it provides extra moisture for dry or damaged strands—making it one of the best shampoo alternatives if you want hydration without heaviness.

Not at all. The Hydrating Shampoo Bar is designed to moisturise without heaviness. Because it uses lightweight oils and humectants, it nourishes dry ends while keeping volume intact. Even fine or low-density hair types get hydration without the flat look that heavy creams or butters sometimes cause. For added softness, pair it with our matching conditioner bar—clinically shown to boost hydration by 8× after just one use.

Yes. This shampoo bar is color-safe and formulated without sulfates or parabens. Instead, it uses natural, nourishing ingredients to lock in moisture and help support long-term hair health. Many users with dyed or chemically treated hair find it keeps color vibrant while improving softness and shine.

On average, one bar gives you 80+ washes—that’s a long time, roughly equal to three bottles of liquid shampoo. The exact number depends on your hair length and how often you wash. To extend its life, wet hair thoroughly before lathering, and keep the bar dry between uses by storing it on a draining tray or container.

Each bar comes in home-compostable packaging and eliminates the need for plastic bottles. By switching, you save water, reduce packaging waste, and support cleaner beauty. It’s also vegan, and cruelty-free—so it’s as gentle on the planet as it is on your hair.

Hydrating

Lovely. Used it as soon as I got it- sort of smelled like blue Rasberry candy (may edit this in a bit as I’m currently a bit stuffed up from the weather).

A Great Shampoo Bar

What a great shampoo bar this is. Having used Ethique shampoo bars for some years now, I'm really enjoying this one and how it leaves my hair feeling.

Saved my hair!

I work construction so I spend most of my day exposed to full sun, wind &/or rain/snow. Most days, I change color when I shower and I've struggled for years to find a product that didn't force me to choose between itchy scalp & dry straw-like tresses or daily oily roots. The Ethique hydrating shampoo has been life changing! In just one week, my hair was softer & healthier looking than its been in over 10 years! And the matching conditioner is just enough to help me finger comb in the shower and keep the frizz at bay on most days. I even started using it as body wash and have found my super dry skin is waaaaay less itchy.

Works great!

I was previously using Ethique’s Mintasy shampoo, which was unfortunately discontinued. I loved the scent and it worked well for me. I emailed them to ask for an alternative and received a prompt response leading me to this scent. Was super impressed with their customer service, so if you aren’t sure which one might work for you- hit them up.

I have tried soooo many shampoos. I have wavy medium to thick hair and wash it about two to three times a week. Most bar shampoos seem to work like rubbing soap in your hair. Super drying, and then hair is greasy the next hour. This one is like actually using liquid shampoo but without feeling terrible tossing a massive plastic bottle away when you are done.

It’s a subtle scent which I like. I’ve noticed all of their scents are really good. Make sure it’s the right bar for your hairstyle. If it’s your first time using bar soap, or you are about to give up in finding the right fit, I really do think Ethique is superior to any other brand. No fuss packaging- no plastics and a product that works and lasts. Won’t be using any other brand.
