Product Overview
Marshmallow shampoo? Bring it on, babe. The marshmallow herb is incredibly moisturizing. To get the most benefit from the herb, we let it sit in oils for a while until we get a mucilage that makes a fabulous vitamin and mineral-rich detangler for curly hair, this is what goes into our soap. Marshmallow root also nourishes and rehydrates dry cells, making this a great bar for dry hair, scalp and skin.
We added aloe because it rhymes with marshMALLOW and sounds cool. Actually, Aloe vera contains something called proteolytic enzymes which repairs dead skin cells on the scalp. It's fabulous for skin because it's rich in vitamin C, E and beta carotene which nourishes skin and scalp deeply. Also, due to its antifungal and antiviral properties, it prevents itching and reduces dandruff and flaking, it also has very potent anti-inflammatory properties which help reduce redness and inflammation. If that isn't enough, it also acts as a great conditioner and leaves your hair all smooth and shiny, plus it promotes hair growth. What more could you want?
Maybe you are wondering how it smells? Earthy, warm, and sweet. Haunting. Delicious. It's sort of hard to explain, so I recommend trying one just to find out.
Ingredients: saponified oils of a marshmallow infused olive, organic shea nut butter, organic coconut, castor bean, grapeseed, mango seed butter, and organic jojoba, organic aloe vera extract, rosemary oil extract, and essential oils of orange, ylang ylang, patchouli, and eucalyptus, fragrance*.
*Please be aware that this shampoo bar does contain a blend of pure essential oils plus less than .01% of a phthalate-free fragrance oil too boost the natural scent, find out more. As this soap contains a synthetic fragrance it is now being DISCONTINUED, once it's sold out it will not be coming back. If we can create a similar scent profile, or a scent that we think is reminiscent of this soap with just essential oils, we will bring it back. But the new version will be 100% natural, all of the same base ingredients, but with a slightly difference scent.

If you've never used a solid shampoo bar in your hair, you may wonder "how do I do that?" It's easy. Just get your hair wet, take the bar and rub it all over your scalp and hair. Put the bar down and work it into a wonderful lather. You may find that the first time you use a shampoo/body bar in your hair it feels different. Using natural ingredients is not going to give you the same feeling chemically laden choices do because the natural oils are not being stripped away. In addition, your hair may require a transition process before it is fully free of all the other chemicals and residues from prior hair products. You can read more about this transition process HERE.
All of our Shampoo, Body and Facial full sized bars are 5oz in weight, with dimensions of 2.75H x 3.4W x 1D.

Other great choices for dry, textured hair include the Jojoba Silk Conditioning shampoo bar, Latte Brunette shampoo bar, Wheat and Honey Almond shampoo bar, Simply Shea shampoo bar, and Bamboo Shampoo bar.
Remember that our 100% natural shampoo bars need soft water (read more about that HERE). Also, check out our Citric Acid Hair Rinses or our Herbal Vinegar Hair Rinse - an important step when you are using natural shampoo bars (read more about that HERE).

Soft, Silky, Nourished!
Really like this! As with lavender buttermilk, makes your scalp happy and hair look and feel great and full! I have thinning hair with dermatitis to boot. This means my scalp is always angry and thin hair, thin. With AV shampoo bars, there's no waxy or any feel of residue once your hair is dry that I'd get with Chagrin Valley. The scent is kind of woodsy-ish. Not my type of scent but it works great!

SO SOFT AND SHINY!
I am not a fan of anything with chemicals. I have naturally red hair so I stay away from anything that can make my hair look dull and lifeless. My regular shampoo bar was killing my hair, tons of split ends and it was dry. Within one use of this bar, my hair was shinier and felt so soft and healthy. I was even able to go 2 days without washing it (which sounds gross but is so much better for your hair!). I would suggest this bar to anyone with dry hair or hair that lacks luster.

LOVE the way it makes my hair feel!
I LOVE this shampoo!!! It makes my hair feel amazing, and looks so shiny! IT smells wonderful, lathers perfectly and a little goes a long way. It doesn't double as shaving cream the way some bars do, but that's ok- its not advertised to! I do wish that it helped the frizz a little, it would be an added bonus. But for what it claims to do and what it actually does.. it far exceed my expectations. I have a ton of bounce, shine and softness thanks to this bar!!

Soft,Clean,Shiny hair
I was using another popular company's shampoo bars and they were leaving my hair,tacky,waxy and my bangs feeling dirty on my forehead. I used this bar tonite and I after I washed it out my hair felt squeeky clean and firm but no residue and heavy waxy feeling on it. I did not even use a ACV following my shampoo,just towel dried and let air dry and my hair was full ,wavy and soft and free of any waxy feeling. I did buy a Cullligan water softener shower head as suggested though to use with my shampoo bars and wow,Im so happy! Amazing results. No conditioner,no ACV rinse,just big full soft hair!

Love this Scent!
This bar is my favorite scent of all ! I do not have curly hair so the shampoo side of this bar does leave my hair feeling weighed down but it's my favorite for my body.

Love it!
I love how this shampoo bar makes my daughters normally uncontrollable frizzy hair, soft and manageable!

Perfect For My Hair Type!
I have extremely dry, tightly coiled hair and this shampoo bar works perfectly. The smell is good, but the effect on my hair is outstanding. I've used it at least four times now and it has left my hair in great shape: moisture, detangled, curls defined, the works! This is another bar rated as one of my favorites. Honestly, I could only use this bar and an ACV rinse for my hair regimen and be happy.

Instant results~
I loved the marshmallow and aloe bar! I was nervous to use it too for the first time because my hair is so dry & brittle & prone to breakage. But the bar was surprisingly gently and I hardly had any breakage!!! Worked great from day one! Loved how gentle it is on delicate hair!!

Lovely
This shampoo bar was my first order, and I am so pleased with the results. I love the way it makes my hair look! The shampoo bar helps maintain my hair's natural oils, while at the same time removing excess oil. The final result is that my normally super-fine and static-prone hair is soft, clean, and actually has some body! I would highly recommend this product.
