Discover our recommendations and find the shampoo and conditioner that will meet your needs.
Essential oils, fragrances and colorants
Our bar shampoos and conditioners are free from artificial fragrances, sulfates, and phthalates.
Their fragrance comes exclusively from essential oils, carefully chosen for their benefits and gentleness. We never use synthetic colorants: the color of each bar comes naturally from the clays, plants, and botanical extracts it contains. For ethical reasons, we have also minimized the use of micas in our formulas.
Each product is designed to suit the whole family, and the descriptions always specify the properties of each bar according to specific hair needs.
Natural ingredients to look for in a natural shampoo or conditioner
We pay attention to ensuring that our ingredients are ethical, eco-responsible, and organic whenever possible.
In the manufacture of our solid shampoos, we rely on a synergy of gentle and effective ingredients. Our surfactants, derived from coconut, are chosen for their great gentleness and biodegradability — they clean thoroughly without irritating the scalp.
We add "luxurious" oils such as castor, sweet almond, avocado, and even broccoli oil, prized for its natural smoothing effect comparable to silicone… without any residue!
Plant extracts, meanwhile, provide targeted care: shine, soothing, tone… depending on the hair's needs. Provitamin B5 (panthenol) strengthens the hair fiber, moisturizes, and contributes to hair flexibility.
Finally, our different clays, purifying and soothing, give each bar a beautiful, creamy lather while naturally rebalancing the scalp. Each ingredient is carefully chosen, with a single goal: to offer effective, sensory, and respectful care.
Key takeaway: a natural solid shampoo is chosen according to hair type, scalp condition, and desired benefits: soothing, moisturizing, volume, shine, or purification.
Our natural shampoos for fine to normal hair

- Mathilde Shampoo with reetha and sidr, fortifying and perfect for tired and split-end hair.
Our natural shampoos for white and blonde hair
While all shampoos work very well on white, gray, or blonde hair, our Mammy Chamomile Bar Shampoo is specially designed to pamper them.
Over time, depigmented hair often becomes drier, duller, and harder to style. Its texture changes, sometimes becoming more porous or coarse to the touch. That's why it needs gentle yet targeted care that respects its fragile nature while reviving its natural radiance.
Chamomile, known for its soothing and naturally lightening properties, helps gently revive blonde or silver highlights. We have also included provitamin B5 (panthenol), a moisturizing and repairing active ingredient that strengthens the hair fiber, improves flexibility, and facilitates detangling. The result: softer, shinier, and easier-to-style hair, without frizz or dullness.
Our natural bar conditioners
Our natural bar conditioners offer a simple, effective, and eco-responsible solution to detangle and nourish hair, without weighing it down or leaving residue.
Formulated with mango butter and provitamin B5, they leave hair soft, shiny, and easy to style.
Simply glide the bar gently over clean, wet hair, massage lightly, then rinse — it's that simple.
Two options are available:
Choosing natural bar shampoos means opting for a conscious approach to your health, well-being, and the environment. As a mother, I am driven by the desire to leave my child a healthier and more planet-friendly future. I do not advocate extremes or radical changes, but rather balance. Changing habits does not happen overnight, and everyone progresses at their own pace with the means they have. My routine is not entirely natural or ecological, and I know that aiming for absolute perfection would be too much mental burden. However, I am convinced that every small step counts. For me, well-being lies in conscious choices that bring us happiness and reflect our personal values.
