Why use a solid shampoo?

Performing the same functions as a liquid shampoo, solid shampoo is gradually becoming one of the most popular hair cosmetics.

But why use a solid shampoo if the result is the same? Here are some answers that are sure to convince you.

Solid shampoo: what is it?

Still little known a few years ago, solid shampoo has become a staple in the beauty and hair care routine.

Like classic soaps, solid shampoo comes in the form of a soap bar. Once again, a profusion of colours and shapes, not to mention various and varied scents, are on hand to awaken the senses and enchant manes.

Its main function is, of course, to rid the hair and scalp of all impurities. And for that, solid shampoo has the merit of offering a chemical-free composition. In other words, its ingredients are natural and organic: healthy for your hair, good for the planet.

An organic solution, an ecological gesture

Because it costs to throw plastic packaging into nature, opting for solid shampoo is simply an eco-responsible gesture.

Unlike shampoos packaged in plastic bottles, solid shampoo is offered in recyclable and often "compostable" containers. In other words, you are adopting a cosmetic product that takes care of your hair and the planet at the same time. Their biodegradable packaging contributes to the already ongoing "zero waste" challenge, which is also the mission of Endro Cosmétiques.

Solid shampoo for practical and sustainable use

The solid soap bar is by far the most practical format. This is also why solid shampoo is so convenient to use.

You can take it everywhere without fear of it leaking into your kit or vanity. Even better, you will avoid the confiscation of your precious solid soap at airport security checks.

Another advantage: it costs less in the long run. Indeed, solid shampoo is more economical. It is therefore a profitable acquisition.

The solid format is practical to use in many circumstances:

• No more shampoo leaking into your toiletry bag.
• No more having to squeeze your bottle to get the slightest drop.
• Your shampoo will no longer be confiscated when you travel by plane.

An organic shampoo for natural health

With a solid shampoo, say goodbye to parabens, colorants and preservatives. Solid cosmetics and care products are indeed much more natural than their liquid counterparts.

No need to worry when using it to care for your hair. Solid shampoo is mainly composed of ingredients from organic farming and of natural origin. And the fact that it does not require plastic packaging makes it an even more health- and planet-friendly care product.

The natural formula of solid shampoo also comes from its manufacturing process, which consists of mixing the following ingredients:

• The surfactant (for cleaning hair and lathering): made from coconut and palm oil.
• Vegetable or mineral powders: clay, rice powder, nettle powder, corn starch,... depending on the nature of your hair.
• Butter or vegetable oil.
• A soft and natural fragrance for the olfactory experience.

In other words, solid shampoo contains no traces of preservatives that could damage your endocrine system. The only chemical element in the manufacture of a solid hair soap is the surfactant. This is found in all soapy cleansers, whether solid or liquid. It is essential for the soap to lather on contact with water.

A shampoo with green virtues for all tastes

Most care products and beauty products once suffered from a limited range of choices. That's a thing of the past, because solid shampoos offer a solution for every hair type and hair problem.

Buying an organic shampoo according to hair type

Endro Cosmétiques' organic solid shampoos ban controversial substances such as silicone to guarantee you hair-friendly care.
