A Beautiful Biome Shampoo Bar

(Formula #109-01J)

A Beautiful Biome Shampoo Bar

Why we love it:

Plant-based emollients and surfactants are artfully combined into a water-wise, minimal packaging-required, travel-friendly, and lightly-lathery shampoo bar that helps protect and maintain the scalp’s microbiome and Earth’s natural biomes.

Trends it supports:

Formulation highlights:

Daikon Seed Extract is an upcycled natural ingredient that imparts a silky, silicone-like feel, increases hair strength and shine, and improves the scalp’s skin barrier function. Meadowfoam Seed Oil XPR adds a luxurious, velvety texture and superior oxidative stability to the formulation. Pentavitin®, derived from maize kernels, balances the scalp microbiome, reduces scalp sebum and flaking, and adds 24-hour moisturization after just one shampoo application.
