We asked our operations manager, Sarah Wylie, to try our new Neem Body & Hair Shampoo with Tea Tree Oil. Here’s what she had to say about it… You may notice her enthusiasm:
“I stumbled upon the ringer of the soap world! This neem and tea tree multi-purpose shampoo is everything you need in one all-natural bar. It’s so much more than a shampoo. This bar was formulated to be gentle enough to be used on your face but strong enough to thoroughly clean your body, hair, and hands. It is even safe for your dog! It is an amazing all natural and plastic-free alternative to soaps and shampoos that come in toxic and wasteful plastic packaging. I was totally blown away at how multi-purpose and high quality this bar was that we had to make a point to share the news!
The most important feature of this bar is that it is healthy. All of the ingredients in this bar are natural, paraben-free, sulfate-free, GMO-free, vegan, and cruelty-free which means it is safe for your skin and also safe for the natural environment that inevitably is exposed to it after it goes down the drain. This healthy bar comes in recyclable cardboard packaging without any plastic leaching toxic chemicals onto your skin.
The next best thing about this bar is how multi-purpose it is. I have been using it for everything and it surpasses my expectations every time. Whatever you are using it on, you can be sure to get a deep clean with a conditioned finish.
As a facial soap, this bar gently cleans your skin without drying it out. It also leaves it conditioned without being greasy. The science of this perfect combination is beyond my understanding but I can say from experience that the special blend of ingredients creates a perfect silky facial soap that leaves my skin clean and nourished. The bar also helps balance skin oil production and is particularly helpful with pesky blackheads and persistent acne.
As a body soap, this bar consistently cleans while also nourishing and moisturizing my skin. Its faint scent is refreshing but not overwhelming and is great for sensitive skin. The organic elder and calendula flowers help to soothe and condition dry, damaged, and irritated skin. The organic neem and tea tree oils help with more challenging skin disorders like psoriasis and dermatitis and can also help to heal minor skin infections.
As a shampoo, this bar sets a new standard. Shampoo bars are an amazing plastic-free alternative to the traditional liquid shampoo in a plastic-bottle but the ones that really work are hard to come by. After many unsuccessful trials and error with solid shampoos, this all-in-one neem and tea tree bar was a success! This bar creates a thick lather of bubbles and thoroughly cleans your hair without leaving any residue or oils behind. The organic neem in the bar is also known to help with dandruff and dry scalp. An added bonus is that it is lightweight and solid without any risk of leaking. It is easy to bring on a plane with you.
Tip: Cut this large 5.8 oz bar in half and use one piece at a time. This will prevent the whole bar from getting soggy every time time you use it and will help it last longer.
