Who Says Shampoo Can’t Rock?

Shampoo bars (aka Solid Shampoo) that help to reduce waste and water usage, and offer a new hair cleansing experience are starting to raise consumer interest. We have what you need to create exciting shampoo bar products, let’s start here:

WOW Visual Appeal: Piece of Nature

Responsibly sourced in collaboration with growers, Piece of Nature’s petals, flowers and leaves will differentiate your shampoo bar for both, their visual appeal and delivered benefits in formulation. Think of rose petals with anti-aging and hydrating benefits, and that are hand sorted and harvested in Iran, a Marketing story your consumers would want to know about!

Piece of Nature

Hair Care Active Plant Cell: HealthyShine Lilac

Born from the lilac shoot, which despite its small size it can live for up to 40 years,  this nature loving ingredient has a multifunctional effect, acting on all three parts of the hair: The root, the scalp and shaft. It reduces inflammation and irritation of the scalp, reduces the formation of free radicals (including after exposure to UVB), and restores hair shine.
