There’s a new beauty trend taking hold, and it’s cruelty-free, vegan, and sustainable. Companies such as Lush and Ethique are running with the idea. So what is it, you ask? Drumroll, please.
The term is “solid shampoo,” or “shampoo bars.” Picture a block of concentrated shampoo (or conditioner) that mixes with the water coming from your shower, instead of being diluted with water and then packaged in a plastic bottle.
Here are some of our favorites:
1. Avocado Co-Wash Solid Shampoo by Lush
2. Clements Solid Shampoo Bar by Ethique
3. Jungle Solid Conditioner by Lush
4. Healy Kiwi Solid Shampoo Bar by Ethique
5. Sugar Daddy-O Solid Conditioner by Lush
6. Damage Control Solid Shampoo Bar by Ethique
If you’re ever curious as to whether a cosmetics or personal-care company is vegan or tests on animals, search our cruelty-free database.
