Nomad Shampoo Bar

Rub bar between wet hands to create lather. Apply lather to hair and scalp. Can also be used by gently running bar across hair directly. Massage and rinse out.

Shampoo bars are pH balanced to be slightly acidic which is of the most benefit to hair and is one of the things that sets them apart from soap. Soap is alkaline and is a blend of oils and sodium hydroxide (Lye) in water. This is often referred to as Saponified oils, which is naming the chemical process that occurs when these two phases react to one another. In Cosmetic Chemistry a solid surfactant product that does not contain soap (like a shampoo bar) is considered a SynDet or Synthetic Detergent. This name is even given to products that contain all natural or naturally derived ingredients.

The Nomad Shampoo Bar uses hair loving emollients like Shea Butter and Castor Seed Oil, as well as a botanically derived silicone alternative, which promotes shine and manageability. Rhassoul Clay delivers silica and trace minerals to increase hair elasticity and promote hair growth.

The Nomad Shampoo Bar uses biodegradable surfactants SCI, SLSa, and CAPB, all derived from Coconut. What's a Surfactant you say? A surfactant is what gets you clean, but isn't soap.
