Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bars are a gentle way to cleanse your hair and scalp, leaving you with luscious, shining locks. Plus, they’re kinder to the planet and more nourishing for your hair than conventional chemical-based shampoos thanks to minimalist packaging and natural hair-loving ingredients.

Our Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bars are made with natural hair care ingredients to leave your hair fresh and clean, and your scalp cleansed and calm. Nettle and rosemary are key to our Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bars as they’re known for their ability to promote healthy hair growth. Plus we use nourishing oils and butters to help keep your hair healthy and soft. Here’s how they work:

• Nettle: Nettles are rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, handy ingredients that help to neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that can cause damage and change to your cells, including hair cells, which can lead to hair thinning. Plus, nettle also dilates blood vessels which helps your hair follicle get more oxygen and nutrients through your bloodstream. In other words, nettle helps create healthy hair.

• Rosemary: We use rosemary in our Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bars for a similar reason to nettle; it’s amazing for hair growth. It works similarly to nettle as well — rosemary helps with blood flow to ensure maximum oxygen and nutrients are supplied to your scalp. If you like to hear the science behind these handy ingredients, one study found rosemary oil was as effective as ‘Rogaine’ for helping boost hair growth.

• Jojoba and Castor Oils: These oils help keep hair baby-soft, plus we use Shea and Cocoa Butters to nourish and smooth hair during the Goat Milk Shampoo washing process.

Boosting your hair and scalp health is super important, but with eight children and a handful of grandchildren, we think looking after the planet for future generations is pretty important too. By using Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bars, you’re reducing the plastic containers you usually use with regular shampoos and conditioners. It’s a win/win!

The shampoo bars are a different formula than our regular goat milk soaps. We start by infusing rosemary and nettles into olive oil because they are beneficial for your scalp, hair, and hair follicles.

Then we add other beneficial ingredients designed to leave your hair clean, soft, and manageable.

Using a shampoo bar is super easy. After years of refining our recipe and method, we’ve created a few guidelines on the very best way to use our Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bars depending on the length of your hair. Our top tip is to ensure you focus on cleaning your scalp rather than your hair strands for the cleanest, freshest locks.

When using a Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bar, you will get a gentle creamy lather, but it won’t foam like most store-bought shampoos. And you don’t want it to! Most chemical-based shampoos available have a foaming agent added to them, so they get really foamy. This foam doesn’t help clean or nourish your hair, so it’s not very useful. Don’t look to replicate it with your goat milk soap shampoo bar. The lather you create will be a more subtle one, which is still super effective at cleaning and clarifying your hair and scalp.

Using too much of the Goat Milk Soap Shampoo Bar can leave your hair feeling heavy and sticky. You don’t need a whole lot to get the job done. Start by using less, because you can always use more later.

While most of our customers find they don’t need a conditioner after using our Goat Milk Soap Shampoo, some do email us and ask what we recommend as a natural conditioner as they go through the transition process of switching to a natural shampoo. Our family has been using the shampoo bar for years and never needed a conditioner during our original transition period but one of our customers kindly shared what worked for her. We’ve since shared this recipe with others and it seems to work well for them.

1. Mix together: 1 TBSP unrefined coconut oil, 1 TBSP raw honey, and ½ tsp ground cinnamon.
2. Wash hair as normal with Goat Milk Soap Shampoo.
3. Rinse well.
4. Massage 1 teaspoon of the mixture into your scalp and through your hair. (Depending on the length and thickness of your hair, you may need to use more or less than 1 teaspoon.)
5. Let sit on your hair for about a minute or two, then rinse well.

The customer who shared this recipe with us did not experience any buildup on her comb and told us that combing her hair was very easy. She let us know that it worked well as a conditioner, removed the “waxy” feeling from her hair she experienced during the transition process, brought the shine back to her hair and both her hair and scalp look and feel healthy.

She did not experience any extra oily-ness after using this mixture, but depending on the length and thickness of your hair, you may need to adjust the amount of the mixture you try.

This recipe is not recommended for daily use but if you love it, it can be used as a weekly treatment.

If you have color-treated hair, you need to test the shampoo. We have customers who use it successfully on their color-treated hair, while other customers find it removes the color. Inexpensive home color treatments seem to have the most problems. It may also improve how long your color lasts.

One customer did tell us, "I love the shampoo soap for my hair, it helps to keep my colored hair from turning gray for a few weeks longer!"

Ingredients: Raw goat milk; Saponified rosemary and nettle infused olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, castor oil, jojoba oil; Black raspberry fragrance oil (paraben-free and phthalate-free).

Size and Packaging: The Black Raspberry Shampoo Goat Milk Soap is available in the Standard size only. It weighs 4 to 4.8 ounces, measures approximately 3.5" x 1" x 2", and is packaged in a labeled, draw-string cotton bag.

All soaps are weighed and meet the minimum weight six weeks after being made. As they continue to age and cure, they will last even longer although they may lose water weight, causing them to be slightly lighter.

Black Raspberry Shampoo Goat Milk Soap is designed for your hair and scalp but it is safe to apply all over your body, except for directly in your eyes. An allergic reaction may be possible, so prior to using it all over, conduct a patch test on a small area of skin first to discover any sensitivities. If you do have an allergic reaction, stop use immediately.
