For irritated, itchy, or eczema-prone skin, we highly recommend our "Tar Soap Bar" combined with our "Super Cream (Unscented)". Birch tar is famous for its soothing and antibacterial properties, while the Super Cream provides a thick, protective layer to lock in moisture and calm redness.

If you are transitioning from commercial liquid shampoos to our natural shampoo bars for the first time, your hair might experience a short transition period (2-3 washes). Lather the bar in your hands first, then massage the foam into your scalp. Pair it with a natural conditioner, and your hair will soon feel incredibly light and voluminous!
