Sicilian Lemon Shampoo Bar (for normal and oily hair) (45g)
£5.95
These gentle shampoo bars are kind to your hair and the planet (no plastics) and yet give excellent performance, leaving hair shiny and strong. They are long-lasting, great for the environment, perfect for travel or the gym, suitable for everyday use and, in my humble opinion, just fab! They are palm free and suitable for vegans.
Lemon essential oil promotes hair growth, cleans and strengthens hair. It adds volume and shine to hair whilst helping to control oil production. Lemongrass helps promote a healthy scalp. A gorgeous citrus scent to this zesty shampoo bar.
About the Ingredients:
On first impression, the shampoo bars might have unfamiliar-sounding ingredients but, hopefully by reading below, you will see that they are in fact very gentle and great for your hair:
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a mild foaming agent derived from coconuts. It has high foaming performance whilst being extremely mild, leaving your hair soft and silky. It is naturally derived, palm free and biodegradable.
Panthenol Powder (Pro vitamin B5) improves the texture of hair whilst also improves suppleness, strength and sheen.
AC Plant Keratin PET is a plant-based alternative to animal keratin, made by blending amino acids from plants in the same proportions found in human hair. Wheat, corn and soy proteins are combined to enhance the hairs’ moisture binding ability by penetrating the hair shaft, strengthening the hair and improving elasticity and shine.
Dehydroacetic acid & Benzyl alcohol are both Organic compounds which are accepted for use in natural cosmetics as a preservative. The Organic preservative compound is a non-paraben, non-formaldehyde, non-isothiazolone based preservative system. The preservative conforms to the requirements of COSMOS and ECOCERT.
I use cosmetic grade mineral pigments to add colour to the shampoo bars as I found the botanicals tended to fade too quickly. These can be identified by a CI number.
As with my soaps, I only use carefully chosen pure essential oils to add fragrance and for their hair enhancing properties.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Ps. In case you are wondering why I didn’t put goats milk in these shampoo bars… I tried the shampoo bars both with and without goats milk and preferred them without, which is actually great as it saves all my creamy milk for my goats’ milk soaps (where it really contributes to the soaps’ gentleness and moisturising capabilities) .
Ingredients: Sodium cocoyl isethionate, Aqua (Water), Panthenol, AC Plant Keratin PET (Aqua, Hydrolysed wheat protein, Hydrolysed corn protein, Hydrolysed soy protein, Phenoxyethanol), Parfum, Dehydroacetic acid, Benzyl alcohol, CI 77492, Citral*, Eugenol*, Geraniol*, Limonene*, Linalool* (*naturally occurring in essential oils).
Essential oils are amazing natural ingredients but need to be used with a little caution. They shouldn’t be applied to broken skin nor mucus membranes and are for external use only. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Please consult a doctor before use if pregnant and always keep out of reach of children.
These shampoo bars are made in small batches – there may be slight variations in colour. Please allow your shampoo bar to air dry between use – ideally on a soap dish.

I love this product so much! It smells amazing and does a fab job. My roots normally get really greasy after a day but using this shampoo meant I got an extra day out of my hair before it needed washing again. Also, great for people with sensitive skin as I have Psoriasis on my scalp and it didn’t agitate it at all like a lot of other shampoo/hair products do.

Excellent shampoo bar. I haven’t used one before and I was slightly sceptical as I have a lot of long, thick hair, but it worked great and I love the Sicilian Lemon.

Hi Sophie. Finally got rid of the plastic bottle shampoo. Have used this bar for 2 weeks now and love it. Well done on an excellent product. Will be ordering more soon.

Easy to use, left my hair feeling really clean with a pleasant but not overpowering lemon scent. Looks like it’ll be great for travelling as well, no more tiny 100ml bottles

I have long ‘normal’ hair – this lathered really nicely, and great scent. My hair feels silky and clean. I feel smug with one less plastic bottle!

Excellent product. My hair smells great, the lemon flavour is lovely, and my fairly short hair is now soft and full of life. I’ve never used anything like this before but I’m actively trying to reduce my environmental footprint. I took one look at my plastic bottle of shampoo and realised I never need to buy another bottle again.

I just just switched to using shampoo bars and LOVE this one. My hair is often dry on the ends and oily at the roots but using this product has made my hair feel healthy and refreshed from root to ends. I am not needing to wash my hair every day anymore which is great! It lasts forever and smells sooo good! I love that there is no plastic usage either – an added bonus.

After trying shampoo bars from multiple brands over the years, I’ve finally found my favourite. Even after the first use my hair was so soft, nourished and much less frizzy. The sweet lemon fragrance is also lovely.

I have been using this shampoo for over a year now and love how ‘squeaky’ clean my hair is and that I can go more days in between washing! The scent is lovely too – wakes me up!

I have been using this shampoo for over a year – alternating between this and the Sicilian Lemon one. It leaves my hair clean and nourished and I love the scent.
Delivery is always prompt and well packed parcel x

The best shampoo bar I’ve ever used! My hair feels so much healthier no nasty plastic feeling anymore
