A zero waste soap bar for hair and body is a solid, plastic-free bar formulated to cleanse both scalp and skin without the bottle, the water-heavy filler, or the eventual trip to landfill.

There’s a very specific kind of guilt that comes from watching an empty shower gel bottle roll around your recycling bin, still slightly sticky, refusing to actually get recycled because the pump mechanism is a different plastic to the bottle.
