Solid Shampoo & Conditioner Bars Kit
Make your own solid shampoo and conditioner bars
Create both solid shampoo bars and solid conditioner bars at home with this all-in-one DIY kit. This combo kit allows you to make six shampoo bars and six conditioner bars, using the same mould, making it an efficient and low-waste option for people wanting a complete solid haircare setup.
Solid bars are a great way to reduce plastic bottles in the shower, and when cared for properly, they last a surprisingly long time. All ingredients in this kit are vegan and cruelty free.

- All ingredients needed to make one full batch of shampoo bars and one full batch of conditioner bars, pre-measured and divided into clear, easy steps

Important Note on Cocoa Butter
Due to a current global cocoa butter shortage, this kit temporarily contains natural (non-deodorised) cocoa butter rather than deodorised cocoa butter.
While used at a relatively low percentage, the natural cocoa aroma may subtly influence or compete with added essential oils or fragrance oils. Many customers enjoy the soft chocolate note, but it’s worth considering when choosing your fragrance.

About the Ingredients
Some of the ingredients in this kit may be unfamiliar, so here is a brief overview of their role in the formulations.
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI)
A coconut oil–derived surfactant that is exceptionally mild on skin, hair and eyes. SCI produces a creamy, luxurious lather and is widely used in solid shampoo bars and gentle cleansers.
Conditioner pellets (BTMS-25)
A high-performance conditioning emulsifier commonly used in both rinse-off and leave-on hair products. It provides excellent slip, detangling and softness.
Cetearyl alcohol
A fatty alcohol used as a thickener and structure builder. It helps improve bar hardness and texture. Made from sustainably sourced RSPO mass balance certified palm oil.
Decyl glucoside
A mild, plant-derived surfactant from the alkyl polyglucoside (APG) family. Known for its gentle cleansing properties and strong environmental profile, it works well alongside SCI to balance cleansing and foam.
Lactic acid
Produced from fermented corn. In solid shampoo bars, lactic acid supports bar hardness and longevity and helps improve overall performance.
Hydrolysed quinoa
A plant-based protein rich in amino acids. It helps support hair strength, softness and shine and is commonly used in conditioning and protective hair formulations.
Coco caprylate
A natural emollient derived from coconut oil that provides slip, spreadability and lightweight conditioning, helping bars glide smoothly through the hair.
Organic glycerin
A plant-derived humectant that attracts and retains moisture, helping hair feel softer and more hydrated.
Microcare DB
An Ecocert-approved broad-spectrum preservative suitable for water-containing products.
