If your hair feels weighed down by oil, product residue, or pollution, this concentrated shampoo bar was created to reset your scalp and strands.

How does this bar remove oil without over-drying my hair?

The recipe balances cleansing agents with conditioning components so the scalp is clarified but not stripped. Castor seed oil helps lift excess oil and residue while botanical extracts soothe and refresh the scalp.

• Castor oil gently dissolves sebum and buildup.
• Ginseng extract supports a refreshed scalp feel.
• Orange peel provides natural uplift and a clean scent.
• The concentrated formula cleans using less product than liquid shampoos.

Will this shampoo bar work with color-treated hair?

Yes — the clarifying action is calibrated to remove surface oil and grime without aggressively stripping hair dyes. It's formulated to be safe for color-treated hair when used as directed, helping preserve vibrancy between conditioning treatments.

• Gentle surfactants avoid harsh fading.
• Designed to rinse clean for even color retention.
• Ideal for occasional clarifying washes to remove buildup.

How do I use and store the Ethique Clarifying Shampoo Bar for best results?

Wet hair and the bar, rub the bar between your hands or directly over the scalp to create a lather, massage, and rinse thoroughly. Let the bar dry between uses on a well-draining surface to extend its life and maintain performance.

• Create lather in hands or apply to roots for targeted cleansing.
• Massage thoroughly to lift oils and product residue.
• Store on a dry rack or soap dish to prevent softening.
• Pair with an Ethique conditioner bar for balanced moisture.

How does choosing this bar help the environment and travel routines?

Each bar replaces roughly three standard liquid shampoo bottles, cutting single-use plastic and shipping weight. Solid format also meets airline liquid rules, making it a practical choice for trips and gym bags.

• One bar equals approximately three bottles of liquid shampoo.
• Plastic-free packaging reduces landfill waste.
• Compact, leak-free, and TSA-friendly for travel convenience.
