🌎 Plastic Free July: Swap of the Week 🌎
Your shampoo bottle isn't recyclable more than a couple times before it's landfill-bound. So why not skip it entirely? 🧴➡️🧼
Enter: shampoo & conditioner bars.
We carry Humby, HiBAR, Dip, and Desesh argan oil in shop — no plastic bottle, no water weight, and each bar replaces 2–4 regular bottles of the liquid stuff.
Plus, we've got your best friend covered too — the Lilly Bar dog shampoo from Bare Naturals, made right in Maine! 🐾
What's actually different inside the bar vs. that box-store bottle:
❌ Typical drugstore shampoo: sulfates (SLS/SLES) for big foamy lather, silicones for instant shine, parabens as preservatives, sometimes phthalates hiding in "fragrance"
✅ Our human bars: gentle plant-based cleansers, real shea butter, coconut and argan oils — no parabens, no silicones, no phthalates, and most of our lineup (Humby, HiBAR, Dip) skips sulfates entirely
✅ Bare Naturals' Lilly Bar: olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, castor oil, aloe vera, and colloidal oatmeal — soothing for sensitive pups, with lavender oil as a natural flea & tick deterrent instead of synthetic chemical repellents
The trade-off most people don't realize: sulfates and silicones give that instant squeaky-clean, glassy-smooth feeling — but they can strip natural oils over time instead of working with them.
Same goes for your dog's coat! It might take a wash or two to adjust, but most people (and pups) notice a healthier result within a couple weeks.
Come in and we'll help you pick the right bar — for you AND your dog. Clean ingredients, way less plastic, same good hair (and fur) day. 💚
