Why start using solid shampoo today?
Conventional shampoo contains synthetic substances that can be harmful to our body and especially to nature, when looking at the label, pay attention to the composition and you may see some strange names such as Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl, Methenamine, among others (there is a huge toxic list based on scientific studies... the shampoo with anti-dandruff function, the substance zinc pyrithione is commonly used (zinc, in high concentration, is capable of causing a huge impact on the environment, compromising the quality of water in rivers and lakes ).
Many people believe that the foam caused by cleaning products is a sign that dirt is being removed, but whether or not it foams is irrelevant to the cleaning capacity. In the case of foam stabilizer, it ends up concentrating in large quantities in the sewage system and subsequently giving rise to the well-known layers of white foam (highly polluting) on ââthe surface of rivers and lakes. In addition to the various preservatives used by the industry that affect plankton, which is the beginning of the marine food chain, thus affecting the entire chain.
Conventional shampoo is made in plastic containers and it is currently estimated that there are around 14 million tons of plastic at the bottom of the oceans. Brazil is the 4th largest producer of plastic waste in the world and the one that recycles the least, according to a report by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) which points out that Brazil reuses just over 1% of plastic. We produce more than 11 million tons of plastic waste every year, but only 1.2% is recycled. For comparison purposes, Indonesia, the fifth largest consumer of plastic, recycles 3.66%. It is also well below the global recycling average, which is around 9%. According to data from the World Bank, more than 2.4 million tons of Brazilian plastic are discarded irregularly, without any type of treatment, in open dumps. Another 7.7 million tons go to landfills. And more than 1 million tons are not even collected by collection systems.
By reducing the consumption of products that impact nature, we can slow down this waste production and contribute to nature with small gestures, like this example of solid shampoo, a choice so simple that it can change your life. If you still haven't convinced yourself about switching to a solid shampoo, then continue reading and now there are its advantages;
- Our shampoos are packaged in fully biodegradable vegetable cellophane, in addition to reducing plastic in the environment since we are talking about not discarding several plastic shampoo bottles that are not recyclable, do not decompose easily and that will spend more than 100 years wandering around Then, it also means being free of harmful substances because they are manufactured with natural active ingredients, including herbs, clays, spices, vegetable oils and butters, essential oils, plant extracts... You also benefit from the therapeutic properties of each ingredient! Plus, they're convenient for travel, just store them in an insulated container.
- If you travel a lot you may have just found a solution to a problem, a traveler's nightmare is that an airport agent opens your backpack to find out if you have exceeded the 100 ml limit, or even opening your suitcase after a flight and find the shampoo bottle leaking all over your favorite clothes. Solid shampoo eliminates both scenarios mentioned, as the agent will not discard the solid nor will it ruin your clothes. In fact, it will leave them with a pleasant scent.
- It is extremely long-lasting, most conventional shampoos contain 80% water, while solid shampoos are super concentrated and last about 3x longer than conventional shampoos, meaning you can save money and trips to the market (valuable tip in times of pandemic ).
We are committed to protecting the oceans, wildlife and ecosystems that are being affected by the cosmetics industry's mass production of chemical-filled products, which is why our shampoos do not use non-eco certified ingredients and are 100% biodegradable, unlike vast majority. Many bottled shampoos are full of preservatives and chemicals that strip your hair of its natural oils and leave your scalp feeling dry. These chemicals are NOT found in our solids, which contain essential oils, extracts, plant butters and natural ingredients, and are cruelty-free.
