Ethique Shampoo Bar
★★★★☆ 4.0 / 5
A concentrated, plastic-free shampoo bar that a B Corp brand claims replaces up to three bottles of liquid shampoo, though it needs a real adjustment period and can leave buildup for some hair types, especially in hard water.
$14 per bar
Pros
- ✓Completely plastic-free packaging (compostable wrapper), certified vegan and cruelty-free
- ✓Concentrated formula lasts significantly longer per gram than bottled shampoo
- ✓B Corp certified with palm-oil-free sourcing
Cons
- ✗Hard water can cause waxy buildup or a 'adjustment period' of dull-feeling hair for the first few washes
- ✗Bars dissolve faster if left sitting in water, so a draining soap dish is basically required
- ✗Scent and lather are noticeably different from bottled shampoo, which not everyone prefers
