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.

Wonderful

Got this as a replacement for an old shampoo bar. It’s fantastic for curly hair (mine isn’t coily though). Only con is the half moon shape doesn’t fit well in my travel tin so I had to cut it. I’ve used nearly 3/4 of it now and will be repurchasing!

It is, in fact, more hydrating than other ethique shampoos

I love how hydrating this shampoo is! I've tried most of the ethique shampoos, and this one really does leave my hair the most hydrated. I really enjoy the creamy lather and the scent.

Great and ethical!

The hydrating bar is great for my dry hair. And I feel really good about keeping plastic shampoo bottles out of the landfills. Thank you, Ethique for your dedication to the environment.
