Shampoo bar

Anyone have any recommendations? I found a site that still used questionable ingredients, so moved on to etsy, and did contact one shop who said their bars were made in August. I read they need to be used within 6 months or they can go rancid. So I'm worried that ill pick a not great one. And I'd like to tell DH bc he's looking for stocking stuffers, but that's still a month away....

I buy my bulk ingredients from this site because it seems to have the best prices! The shampoo bar looks to be reasonably priced as well, and you can rebatch it if you don't want unscented.

And I think you have some essential oils and stuff, from reading other posts. So it shouldn't be too hard to customize. :]

Thanks for that, I was looking for a place to get stuff besides the one local health food store. I actually only have TTO but reeeeally want others.
I would like to get a shampoo bar that's specifically for my hair type as well, I was suggested a neem bar, but I'd like to see what kinds there are.

I found this for using a standard soap into a neem soap recipe. I think they call it melt and mix. And neem oil is sold on the same site as well. It looks like there is neem powder as well, I'm not sure if there is a benefit to the oil over the powder. Plus you could add a lovely scent!

Method:

Cut off whatever amount of soap you want to use.
Weigh it, and then weigh out 5 percent neem oil. If you have a 500 gram chunk of soap you add 25 grams of neem oil.
Melt the soap in a bowl in the microwave or a double boiler. If using microwave stir frequently and make sure it doesn't overheat or boil.
Stir in neem oil.
You can also stir in colors, fragrances or essential oils.
Pour into molds.

Thanks, that's great info! But UG!! I just realized I should look up using these when pregnant. I guess neem is a no no, TTO is, it seems like everything is! We're TTC so I want to be careful. :sad face:

I love JR Liggett's!  I just did a review of several of their products including their shampoo bar on my blog!

Lush makes the best products! They're cruelty free and vegan. Check out their website.
Lush.com
They have stores in malls but they can be a little by of a drive depending on where you live. They have shampoo bars and also conditioner! They have a great variety to choose from too!
