The original plastic-free solution that actually works better than bottles Before everyone and their sustainable sister started making shampoo bars, we made these. Not because it was trendy (it wasn't), but because liquid shampoo is 80% water in a plastic bottle that you throw away every month. That seemed dumb. So we removed the water, concentrated the good stuff, and created something that lasts 100+ washes. One bar. Three to four months. Zero plastic. The Tree Hugger scent comes from real rosemary, tea tree, spruce, pine, and fir. It smells like that moment when you step off the trail and into the actual forest. The puck shape? That's because the original balls kept rolling off shelves and customers asked for something that stayed put. Now some people miss the balls. Can't win. But what everyone agrees on: this works better than their old shampoo, travels without leaking, and makes their bathroom look intentional instead of cluttered with bottles. "We made these before shampoo bars were trendy. Before zero-waste was Instagram-worthy. We just thought it was stupid that shampoo was 80% water in a plastic bottle. So we removed the water, kept the good stuff, and shaped it like a puck because balls roll off shelves. One bar, 100+ washes. Your hair doesn't know it's saving the planet. It just knows it feels good." — Emily Whitlock, Co-Founder & Formulator Why You'll Love The Tree Hugger Shampoo Moon Creates lather that rivals any liquid shampoo. Thick, creamy, actually cleansing.

Travel without the liquid limit dance This Is Why We Do It "I love that the only packaging they have is the foil and sticker, so it is easily compostable and takes up MUCH less space in landfills than bottles. They're also super easy to travel with... With this shampoo bar I only need to wash my hair every 3 days (even though I typically will wash it every other day, just to be safe)." — Madelyn Bryan The Ritual There's a tiny learning curve, then it's easier than bottles. Wet your hair completely. Run the bar directly over your scalp 3-4 times - front to back, side to side. Put the bar down (this is key). Now work up the lather with your hands. You'll be shocked how much foam you get. Massage like normal, rinse thoroughly. The bar needs to dry between uses, so don't leave it in a puddle. A soap dish or the edge of the tub works. After about three uses, you'll wonder why you ever dealt with bottles. Key Ingredients Forest Essential Oils Rosemary, tea tree, spruce, pine, fir. Like washing your hair in the woods, but cleaner.
