All of our shampoo and conditioner bars have ingredients that our hair loves including essential oils and natural colorants like mango powder and clays.

If you have sensitive skin, it's best to always test first.

As an artist of handmade products, I can attest that we are not machines. We can't always do things exactly the same time, every time. This includes everything from the ingredient amounts to how many poppy seeds we drop on top. You will know its handmade when every bar you see has its own personality, it's own look.

Whereas, commercial soaps are made by machines and are produced exactly the same way every time. There is definitely consistency, but no artistry in commercial products.

As someone who thanks God for the wonderful products that come from animals, I tend to create soaps that use animal fats. However, our shampoo and conditioner bars do not have any animal fats or beeswax in them. Please check the ingredient list of the bars for things that might not work for you. Most of the surfactants used are coconut-derived.

In addition, as a small handcrafter, none of my products are tested on animals.

No. Our shampoo bars are "Syndet Bars". That stands for "Synthetic Detergents". They are much more mild than lye soap as well as pH balanced for your hair. The synthetic detergents are mostly coconut-derived.

As a handcrafter, we try to use a more sustainable way of packaging our product. We package them in paper, and offer aluminum tins for easy travel. We use plastic shrink wrap to seal the tins.

Yes! Law requires us to include the INCI name for our ingredients and sometimes those names are not recognizable. This is why we also add the standard name you will recognize in our ingredient list on each product listing.

We want you to know how each ingredient affects the final product, if just out of curiosity or allergy-related. We've compiled lists of each ingredient and what they bring to the table. Check them out here: Syndet Ingredients, Butters & Oils, Additives (special oils, etc.), Scents (essential oils & fragrance oils), and colorants (powders & clays). You will also find these links in our footer at the bottom of each page as well as in the drop-down menu. If you don't see a particular ingredient listed, let us know, and we will add it. You can also google the standard name or INCI name for a good snapshot of the ingredient and its uses.

Sometimes trying new products, especially natural products that may work differently from commercial products, your body might start to detox and make change to your skin, hair, etc. Sometimes the change may be a negative one at first while your body adjusts to the new product. If this happens, don't immediately set aside the product. Your body may take a few days to a few weeks of use to work itself out and come to a balance.

However, if you are having an allergic reaction, discontinue use immediately and seek medical help, if needed. (Even natural ingredients have allergens that people can react with. Patch test first if you are worried about sensitives.)

If our product(s) just don't work for you after consistently using them for several weeks, or if you have an allergic reaction to one of our products, please contact us so we can discuss a refund or replacement of the item(s).
