Shampoo and Conditioner Bars

Hi guys!
I'm looking to reduce my intake of plastics. A friend told me about solid shampoo and conditioner bars, which don't use up plastic bottles every time you purchase one. Has anyone used shampoo bars like these ones? If you have bought one before, what kind of packaging did it come in? Reviews of the product are helpful, too ( Read more... )

You use the deodorant crystals in the shower when your skin is still wet, you should cover a larger area of skin than with normal deodorant. it's a salt crystal, there are no other ingredients and it makes the skin a less favorable environment for the smelly bacteria to grow on. you can use a drop of lavender essential oil to ease the transition over for your skin, and to add fragrance. they last much longer and i have the stick style with a plastic bottom and cover, but you can get them as rocks. they can dissolve in water and break if they drop, so i got the ones that have the cover and level base. i think i read on here that if they do break, you can put the pieces into a spray bottle with water and use it as spray on deodorant.

I think this place is less expensive, not more. they give you more for your money and still use much better ingredients. I think of myself as fairly level-headed, you see what happened. but i ditched a nice facial treatment at a ritzy spa and decided to have variety all year. because they do not use preservatives, some of their products have a shorter life span. (so i think it would make no sense to get more than one large bar of one type of soap, they are big enough to last at least a year.)
