Champagne Shampoo Bars
This champagne-scented ultra-sudsy solid shampoo bar was inspired by the 110th anniversary of the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic. I've shared a few Titanic-inspired formulations (and costumes!) in the past, and I thought we were overdue for a formula inspired by one...
All-Natural Perky Peppermint Shampoo

More Mango Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bar
Today I'm sharing my first shampoo bar Bee Better project—this More Mango Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bar is an update on the Mango Mango Shampoo Bar I shared in March 2019 (almost exactly two years ago!). In writing, the differences between this updated formulation and its...
Rose & Silk Clarifying Shampoo
Today I'm sharing a formulation I've had a ton of requests for; an all-natural, sulfate-free liquid shampoo! This Rose & Silk Clarifying Shampoo was one of my final projects (if you'd like to read my full review of...
Ice Palace Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bar
Today we're mashing up a beautiful Ice Palace Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bar. You don't need to melt anything and you don't need a press (you don't even need a mould!). Just mix and mash everything together until you have a smooth, workable dough, shape that into some sort...
French Green Clay Sulphate-Free Shampoo Bar
Today we're making a lovely French Green Clay Sulphate-Free Shampoo Bar. It features a beautiful, gentle surfactant blend, silky Abyssinian Oil, and creamy French green clay. It's easy to make, with no heat required—just a bunch of squishing and stirring. The...
Silk & Shine Shampoo
I'm pretty darn excited to finally share a formulation for a liquid shampoo! I've had a lot of requests for a non-soap liquid shampoo over the last few years, and here we are. This one stars a surfactant blend that kicks off oodles of dense, thick lather, leaving your...

Today we're squishin' and mixin' up a batch of pretty pink sulphate-free shampoo bars, featuring Australian pink clay and a blend of gentle surfactants. These beautiful bars kick out all kinds of gorgeous, creamy lather, and leave your hair wonderfully clean. They...
Argan Rose Pressed Shampoo Bars
These beautiful Argan Rose Pressed Shampoo Bars were inspired by a popular LUSH product, and I've had a ton of fun developing and testing this formulation. It is structured very differently from other shampoo bars I've shared, with no melted fatty hardeners like cocoa...
White Chocolate Peppermint Shampoo Bars
This beautiful cream-coloured White Chocolate Peppermint Shampoo Bar delivers oodles of bubbles and a wonderful minty-chocolate scent in one elegant package (so to speak—shampoo bars are packaging-free!). I've called it a shampoo bar, but it also makes a beautiful...

I've been working on these chocolatey, clay-spiked shampoo bars since early March, and I'm super excited to finally share them with you today! They've got a stunning, creamy lather that leaves your hair feeling fabulous, and I'm making them with my beautiful new...
Mango Mango Shampoo Bar
Today’s recipe is definitely long overdue, but I wanted to make sure it was on point before I shared it—it’s a sulphate free shampoo bar. I started working on this back in January 2018 and have been testing and tweaking ever since. About six weeks ago I decided to...
Silky Volumizing Conditioning Shampoo
I am so excited to share this recipe with you guys. I've been working on it since shortly after new years, and sharing the progress on my Instagram stories as I've been testing and tweaking. This is a conditioning shampoo; more lather than a cleansing conditioner, but...
Snowflake Shampoo Bar
I'm so excited to share this with you; it's something I've been working on for almost a year! This particular recipe has been in testing and tweaking since July. I've had a lot of requests for a surfactant-powered shampoo bar (as opposed to a soap based one), and I...
Mermaid Silk Shampoo Bars
Prepare to feel like you're sudsing up in a lagoon in Neverland with the mermaids; these seriously beautiful Mermaid Silk Shampoo Bars are just the sort of thing I imagine mermaids would use (do mermaids wash their hair? A question for another day, perhaps.). Super...
Coconut Aloe Shampoo Bars
These pretty, citrussy Coconut Aloe Shampoo Bars are utterly lovely—between the fresh, summery colours and the bright, citrussy scent I'm quite smitten. It occurred to me a few weeks ago that it'd been ages since I'd made a straight-up shampoo bar. I tend to use my...
Silk & Cedar Liquid Shampoo
I am so excited about this wonderful Silk & Cedar liquid shampoo. It's loaded with all kinds of goodies for your hair, and once you've got your liquid soap paste softened, it comes to together in just a few moments. If you prefer liquid shampoo over shampoo bars,...
Citrus Chamomile Liquid Shampoo
This request came to me from Kylee, who uses a similar one by Avalon Organics for her dreads. She says "this shampoo has the ability to clarify, which is what I need, and the aloe and citrus work wonders on cleaning/tightening dreads." The ingredient list for the...
Peppermint Tingle Shampoo
A couple months ago my friend Tanvi got in touch. She'd been reading my blog and wanted to get in on natural hair care, and she wanted my help. She says her hair is dry and brittle, and she wants to get away from commercially made hair products. So, we worked together...
Cinnamon Swirl Soap & Shampoo
When I first started making soap, this was one of the first bars I tried. I saw a similar bar at a farmer's market in Manitoba and thought it was a pretty cool idea, and I set out to do it myself as soon as I got home. Those original bars are long gone, but after a...
Lemongrass & Seaweed Shampoo
Sadly, I don't get out to the ocean all that often. It is, in my defense, nearly 1000km to the nearest one, and that would make for a very long bike ride, so I feel like I'm not exactly slacking in the ocean department. Anyhow, this shampoo smells like the ocean side,...
Latté Shampoo
If you're going to wake up and smell the coffee, you might as well go all out and incorporate the coffee into every aspect of your morning. I know you've got the drinkable coffee bit handled (and if you don't I'm afraid I can't be of much help), so I'm going to...
Shea Butter & Citrus Shampoo Bar
This is the second batch of soap I ever made, and it's become one of my favourites over time. The long curing time is definitely beneficial because I used as my hard oil (and as far as hard oils go, it's not very hard). I also used avocado oil,...
