Sapunoteka solid shampoo for oily hair for effective and gentle removal of excess oil. It is not necessary to use a conditioner. Made from biodegradable, vegan ingredients.
Green clay effectively binds excess oil to itself, while at the same time soothing and cleaning the scalp. Castor oil ensures that the hair and scalp remain hydrated. Essential oils of bitter orange and bergamot help regulate sebum secretion.
Packaging: packed in recycled cardboard. One solid shampoo can replace 2 plastic bottles of liquid shampoo.
Instructions for use: massage into wet hair, lather and leave on for a few minutes, then rinse with warm water. Avoid contact with eyes. Between uses, keep the bar of solid shampoo in a dry place, upright, so that the contact surface, and thus the consumption between uses, is as small as possible.

Why do you use Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS)?
The Sodium Coco Sulfate we use in our shampoos is derived from organically grown coconut, it is a vegan ingredient, biodegradable and approved for use in natural and organic cosmetics by EcoCert. It is milder than most other surfactants and at the same time cleans well.
But does your shampoo contain sulfates?
Yes, sulfates are useful for cleansing the hair and scalp, but if not formulated properly, they can leave a feeling of dryness and even irritation. However, the sulfate we use is not only the mildest of all sulfates, and not that our formula does not leave a feeling of dryness, but it is so nourishing that most people will not need a conditioner after washing their hair with our hard shampoos. The key is in correct formulation and true understanding of cosmetic ingredients, rather than blindly following popular myths that pop up every now and then in the world of cosmetic products.
Why not use soap?
Some people prefer using soap to wash their hair. In our experience, soap is not the ideal solution for washing hair. Admittedly, with some types of hair, and especially if it is short hair, and in some areas where the water is soft enough, washing hair with soap and rinsing with apple cider vinegar after washing can be quite a good experience for some people. For washing hair with soap, we would recommend our soaps: beer, rosemary, sage, sailor.
Zašto ne koristite SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) i SCI (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate)?
Many solid shampoos are made with these ingredients, especially Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, so that they can claim to be "sulfate free". However, both of these ingredients are obtained by the ethoxylation process, which uses ethylene oxide. This ingredient, as well as the procedure, are not approved for use in natural cosmetics, because the ethoxylation process also produces 1,4-dioxane, and traces of ethylene oxide remain in the product itself. Both of these ingredients (ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane) are known carcinogens, so we refuse to use these ingredients in our products. Also, these ingredients are not approved for use in natural and organic cosmetics, even though they are obtained from natural sources (this is also about coconut oil), because they contain carcinogenic substances.
Unfortunately, some manufacturers take advantage of the artificially inflated fear of sulfates in their customers, while pimping them with sulfate-free Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI), counting on their ignorance of the harms of SCI and their fear of sulfates.
There are a number of other ethoxylated surfactants, we do not use any in our products.
