A natural shampoo bar is made through traditional saponification of plant oils rather than synthetic detergents. Unlike many detergent-based “syndet” bars, true natural shampoo bars contain no sulfates, artificial fragrances, or synthetic preservatives. They offer a different cleansing philosophy built on ingredient integrity, organic sourcing, and environmental responsibility.
Some companies state that if you try a natural shampoo bar once it should work, and, if it does not, it is a sign that natural shampoo bars are not for you. I do not agree.
Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS) is a synthetic detergent used to create lather and remove oil and grease. Should it be used as an ingredient in a product that claims to be "natural?"
