Easy to travel with, water-saving, compact packaging... solid shampoo makes some very convincing arguments. But is it as effective as conventional shampoo? And if so, should you banish liquids from your life like a toxic ex? Is waterless the new trend to adopt or risk being singled out? Let’s find out!
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE: Because it is highly concentrated in active ingredients, 1 80 g bar of solid shampoo is the equivalent of two 200 ml bottles! While a liquid shampoo contains between 10% and 15% surfactants, a solid shampoo contains between 40% and 60%! A good deal then, especially as there is no risk of wasting it by squeezing the bottle to hard.
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE: By the time it reaches you, its manufacture has already drastically reduced water consumption: barely 5% to 10% of the final formula, compared to up to 80% for a liquid shampoo! What's more, once it's in your hands, there's no need to repeat wash: a single shampoo is enough, so less water is used in the shower... unless you like to sing.
TRUE OR FALSE
FALSE: Is there a transition period for oily/dry/dull (insert any other stereotypes here) hair? Not at all! Switching to solid shampoo is gentle and painless. The formulations are almost identical to a classic shampoo; we just removed the water. But there's nothing to stop you taking it in turns, or even slipping it into your bag for those occasions when carrying a bottle around isn't really practical!
At Klorane, our waterless formulas are sulphate-free and concentrated in surfactants and nourishing plant oils.
With 90% less water, our solid shampoos do not sacrifice on pleasure and sensoriality. With mango or oatmeal, they complete our flagship ranges with ultra-gentle, rich products. Let yourself be tempted!
