Can I use your shampoo bar on color-treated hair?

Yes, all our shampoo bars are completely sulfate-free and color-safe. Our gentle, plant-based surfactants cleanse the hair without stripping its color or drying it out.

Do your shampoo bars contain sulfates?

No, our shampoo bars are completely free from sulfates and also free from silicones. FOAM is a gentle alternative to conventional shampoo and formulated to suit even the most sensitive scalp.

Which shampoo bar is best for my hair type?

It depends on your scalp and your hair’s needs. Choose Forest Treat if you have dry or damaged hair that needs moisture, Ocean Waves for curly or wavy hair that needs volume and definition, White Flower if you have normal to oily hair or an oily scalp, and Rice Serenity if you have a sensitive scalp or prefer a completely fragrance-free shampoo bar.

Sulfate-free for color-treated hair

Sulfates open the hair cuticle widely with every wash and strip out color pigments wash after wash. A sulfate-free shampoo bar with Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate gently cleanses the scalp without disturbing the cuticle, helping the color last longer while preserving the hair’s shine.

Color doesn’t just sit on the hair. It sits inside it. And every time you wash with a shampoo containing sulfates, the cuticle opens so widely that color pigments gradually leak out, wash after wash, until the color is a shadow of its former self. It doesn’t have to be that way. It’s a product choice.

What do sulfates do to colored hair?

Sulfates such as SLS and SLES are strong surfactants that open the cuticle widely with every wash. For colored hair, this means that color molecules escape more quickly, the hair’s natural lipid barrier breaks down, and the hair becomes drier and more porous with every wash. The result: the color fades, the shine disappears, and the hair feels rough.

Why a sulfate-free shampoo bar is better

A sulfate-free shampoo bar uses milder surfactants such as Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, which effectively cleanse the scalp without disturbing the cuticle or stripping out color pigments. The hair retains its natural oils, moisture stays locked in, and the color lasts longer between coloring treatments.

Combine with the right conditioner and hair mask

Sulfate-free shampoo is the foundation, but colored hair needs more. Always complement it with a conditioner bar for colored hair and a hair mask once a week for intensive hydration and color preservation.
