- Hey, everybody, it's Erica.
Today we're here to talk about shampoo bars.
I feel like these have gotten a lot of hype lately,
and I'm really into this.
So shampoo bars are something that we've had
for a really long time at Lush,
even before Lush was Lush, so the company before us
called Cosmetics to Go, that's really where it all began.
Shampoo bars are, it's simple to think about
even though we never think about it.
It's like a bar of soap that you use in your hair.
That's it, right?
So we're used to liquid,
and that's totally cool, and there's lots
of great liquid shampoos that we have here at Lush.
But the cool thing about a shampoo bar
is really about the environmental impact that it can have.
So this little guy can last up to about 80 washes,
which is the equivalent of about three bottles this size.
So when you're thinking about the plastic
that's involved in a bottle like that,
the water content that's involved,
this is really giving you so much inpact
in such a little puck.
So we have quite a few different ones
in the stores and online, and each one of 'em
has a slightly different effect.
So they're all made with that simple shampoo base,
it's quite concentrated, like I said.
But each one has a little something going on.
For instance, this is Seanik.
You may be able to see these little flecks in there,
and that is actually a little bit of seaweed.
So when that seaweed gets wet,
seaweed makes this really nice hydrating gel
that nourishes and protects, and so that just
reconstitutes right there in the bar
and goes right into your hair.
This one also has some sea salt,
which gives nice beachy volume.
This is actually my very favorite of the shampoo bars.
But some of 'em, they might have honey
or powdered herbs in there to really, again,
just come alive in the water to do the work.
So the smell of each of them is different too;
we have a few that are really just great
for perfuming the hair, like our Jason and the Argan Oil
has that beautiful rose jam scent,
or our Honey I Washed My Hair has that beautiful
Honey I Washed the Kids honey buttery scent.
So each one is a little bit different
to make the hair smell great, but also
leaving it shiny and healthy too.
The reason that these last so long
is 'cause they are quite concentrated.
So there's no water content in these,
it's all right here, and you add the water
in the shower when you're washing your hair.
You're like, making more shampoo with it.
So what you do with it is, you just take that bar
and just juice, juice, juice on top of your head
and that's gonna get that real concentrated product
onto the hair, and then you start going from there.
You could also lather it up in your hands as well.
So I have really thick hair, admittedly,
so usually what I do is, I do a couple on the top
and then I kind of lift up a little,
do a couple, do a couple, and then I'm good to go.
You've gotta put that bar down at some point,
you don't have to use it the whole time.
So what makes this so concentrated,
if you look at them really close
they almost look like ice cream sprinkles,
is what it looks like, it looks like
mashed-together ice cream sprinkles.
And what those are are little needles of shampoo base,
and so they push together to form
this really, really concentrated product
that you just pick up and use
just when you need just a little bit of it.
They're actually really cool when they make 'em, too,
you can see just like, a little edge on them.
When they make them in the factory,
they make them one by one, and what they do is,
they make that mix and then they kind of
snowball it together and put it in this little pedestal
and then push a clamp down and it goes, gshh,
and then you have this really condensed little puck.
So they're made one by one by hand, which is pretty cool.
So when do you use a shampoo bar?
Well, you can use one every time you wash your hair.
I think that's especially effective if you have
shorter hair, that maybe you're not needing as many
like, oils and butters to go into it,
'cause again, this is quite concentrated.
These are fantastic for travel.
Like I said, my hair is quite long and quite thick
and needs a lot of moisture, and I really
still do love these for travel.
They make a really great travel companion
'cause there's no liquid limits to worry about, you just
pop it right back in your tin and you're good to go.
When I do, I wanna tell you one thing
'cause we do get questions about,
or people saying that their shampoo bar
has kind of gotten stuck in the tin,
and I just wanted to show you my favorite
way to let it dry out.
It just takes like, the evening,
after you've washed your hair.
But I actually put it like this, and then it's
not really touching anything, and the air
can get to it all over, and then it dries out really well
and you're good to go, you don't have to worry
about it getting stuck in there.
These are also really super handy
if you're going to the gym and you're taking a shower
at the gym afterwards, or maybe you're going to a festival
and you wanna pack really light.
Maybe you're like, backpacking through Europe,
man, take me with you, but this would be
a really great thing to take with,
because, I mean, look how tiny it is
instead of three of these, right?
When you're thinking about that environmental impact,
not only are we talking about saving that plastic,
we're talking about no packaging here.
You could just walk out with this in your hand
and you're good to go.
In fact, I have a funny story about this.
So in 2004, I wanna say,
there was a packaging competition,
like innovative packaging competition,
and Lush entered the shampoo bar.
So, you know, people were coming with compostable things
or who knows what else; we just came with this.
And we're disqualified because there was no package,
and then they really had to say, like,
"Think about this, the best green packaging
"is no package, right?"
Think.
And turns out that we won.
(laughs) So we totally changed their minds
in the middle of this packaging-focused competition,
looking at green packaging, because truly
the best green package that there is is none at all.
Alrighty, so that's a little bit about shampoo bars.
We do definitely wanna hear what you have to say
about those, as well as, give us other ideas.
What do you wanna talk about next time?
Put them in the comments below, and we will see you there.
