ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Grace of Me Solid Shampoo Bars are wonderful. A single 4 oz bar is equal to roughly three 8 fl oz bottles of shampoo. Shampoo bars last way longer than liquid shampoo because you can get your hair all sudsy with just a few swipes through your hair as opposed to a big squirt of liquid shampoo. Our shampoo bars are free form Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and are made mostly from vegetable ingredients. We use all-natural essential oil aromas and add soothing Aloe Vera and Shea Butter. These bars have excellent lather. The high glycerin content provides good moisturizing. The soap is safe for everyday use by adults and children and this cleansing shampoo bar is good for all skin and hair types. The uses are many and well documented online.
This product is branded 'Grace of Me' and was developed in part by Grace Addison of Falmouth, Maine (ME). Fifteen-year-old Grace, daughter of DermaHarmony's owner, wants to rid the world of unnecessary plastics. She picked shampoo as an environmental cause in 8th grade. Perhaps someday shampoo bottles with be a thing of the past.
The bar comes in two types: a dandruff bar with 2% Pyrithione Zinc or the regular bar without Pyrithione Zinc.
BAR SIZES
4 OZ (113 G) - 3" (76mm) round by just over 1" (26mm) thick
DIRECTIONS
Rub directly onto hair to create a later. Massage into your hair and scalp. Leave in contact with skin for at least 30 seconds. Rinse well. Store bar on a soap tray or rack so that it dries between uses.
WARNINGS
Some people are sensitive or allergic to Zinc Pyrithione that is an ingredient in the dandruff bar. A mild tingling or burning sensation is not uncommon (incidence under 5%) at first use and usually subsides with continued use. If you experience a severe burning sensation you should discontinue use because you are sensitive or allergic. Avoid contact with eyes. Zinc Pyrithione and the shampoo bar itself will irritate the eyes (flush eyes for several minutes if shampoo comes into contact).
INGREDIENTS
The list looks long and complicated because making highly performant shampoo is not easy. This is a vegetable based solid shampoo with conditioning additives. Every ingredient was scrutinized for safety. We've chosen the most natural ingredients possible to produce an aesthetically pleasing safe shampoo bar.
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI) (a sodium salt ester/fatty acid derived from plant matter that solubilizes oils, reduces surface tension, and adds foam)
Glycerin
Sodium Stearate (sodium stearate is the sodium salt of stearic acid - this white solid is the most common 'soap')
Sorbitol (a sugar alcohol)
Water
Sodium Laurate (a surfactant that is entirely derived from the vegetable sources of coconut and/or palm kernel oil - this ingredient is frequently confused with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) [which is not safe].
Propylene Glycol (made from glycerin, this is a moisturizer, emulsifier and carrier for fragrance oils)
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES - a plant derived surfactant found in many personal care products)
Sodium Chloride (table salt)
Disodium Lauryl (a surfactant foam boosting agent derived from plants - a surfactant is a substance that lowers the surface tension of oils)
Sulfosuccinate (another surfactant foam boosting agent derived from plants)
2% Pyrithione Zinc [only in the dandruff bar]
Titanium Dioxide (a natural mineral)
Stearic Acid (a vegetable derived waxy substance used to add firmness to the shampoo bar - is also a surfactant)
Lauric Acid (a saturated fatty acid that comes from Paul or Coconut that contributes hardness, cleansing, and big fluffy lather)
Pentasodium Pentetate (this salt of Pentetic Acid is used as a chelating agent to bind and sequester metal ions)
Tetrasodium Etidronate (this is a chelating agent formed of four carboxylic acid groups attached to two nitrogen atoms)
Polyquaternium 7 (organic conditioner)
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder
Sodium Benzoate (a natural preservative)
Blue Spirulina (high-protein algae)
Pinus Sylvestris (Scotch Pine essential oil)
D-Limonene (oil of citrus fruit peels)
