The Grandpa Soap Company Pine Tar Shampoo for Dry, Itchy Scalp — 8 fl oz 2-Pack, Tea Tree Oil, Vegan & Sulfate-Free

This shampoo combines the long-standing benefits of 100% plant-based pine tar with tea tree oil to deeply cleanse and help soothe a dry or irritated scalp while leaving hair feeling refreshed. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and deliberately free of sulfates, parabens, silicones, and artificial fragrances, and it comes in recyclable packaging that reflects Grandpa Soap Company's focus on sustainable soapmaking.

How does this shampoo help a dry, itchy scalp?

The shampoo uses pine tar for deep cleansing and moisturizing properties alongside the natural antimicrobial and clarifying qualities of tea tree oil. Together they remove buildup and calm scalp discomfort without stripping hair of essential moisture.

• Pine tar provides plant-based cleansing and helps soften dry scalp flakes.
• Tea tree oil helps clarify and refresh irritated areas.
• Free of harsh sulfates and silicones to avoid further drying the scalp.
• Produces a rich white lather that rinses clean without residue.

Will it work on all hair types and textures?

This formula is designed to be versatile: it supports straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair by focusing on scalp health rather than altering hair texture. Because it is lightweight and sulfate-free, it cleans without overdrying fine hair and still provides cleansing power for thicker or oilier hair types.

• Safe for color-treated hair due to absence of harsh detergents.
• Balanced lather for both fine and dense hair strands.
• Pairs well with Grandpa’s Pine Tar Conditioner for added moisture.

How should I use it for best results?

Apply to wet hair, work into a gentle lather focusing on the scalp, then rinse thoroughly; repeat if needed. For targeted scalp relief, leave a small amount of lather on the scalp for a minute before rinsing to let the tea tree oil and pine tar act.

• Use 2–3 times weekly for maintenance or as needed for flare-ups.
• Massage into the scalp with fingertips to boost circulation and lift buildup.
• Follow with a conditioner, preferably Grandpa’s Pine Tar Conditioner, to seal in moisture.

Is this shampoo safe and eco-conscious?

Yes. Ingredients were chosen to avoid common irritants and controversial additives, and the product is vegan and cruelty-free. Packaging components are recyclable and the formulation omits phthalates, PEGs, parabens, sulfates, silicones, artificial colorants, and fragrances.

• Vegan, cruelty-free formula with plant-derived pine tar and tea tree oil.
• Free from phthalates, PEGs, parabens, and sulfates.
• Recyclable packaging supports sustainable use.
