Zero Waste Body Bar

$3.99 $8.00

Description

This body bar is perfect for those who are trying to reduce their plastic use and go to zero waste. Body bars are a great eco-friendly alternative to traditional body washes and shampoos that often come in plastic bottles.

These sulfate-free body bars also make a great shampoo, especially if you have curly hair. This method is recommended for curly/wavy/kinky hair because it does not strip the natural oils from the hair, allowing the curls to be soft and bouncy, reducing fizziness.

All ingredients are organic and the palm oil is sourced from a sustainable palm oil company which is also 100% organic, Deforestation Free, Wildlife Friendly, and Fair & Social.

 

 

 

Tangie was started because Angie had enough of her annoying skin irritations. Something in her head told her to look at the laundry soap she was using. After all, we ‘wear’ our laundry soaps every day when we wear clothes. She looked at the ingredient labels on the laundry bottles, and to her surprise, there were no ingredients listed. No ingredients listed, is that legal? She ‘assumed’ all the ingredients had to be listed on products like these.

She then looked at her shampoo bottles, skin lotion, and kitchen cleaners. What she later learned about ingredients label requirements shocked her. Unlike food products, manufacturers of chemical products are not required to list ingredients on their containers or make them public! The industry simply expects us to trust their choice of ingredients and we just assume they will choose the safest ones.
What started as a quest for happier skin has grown into something much more. When Angie Ringler launched Tangie in 2012, she committed to only using natural ingredients. Driven by her passion for the best ingredients, as well as a personal commitment to respecting our planet, through Tangie, Angie has created magnificent products.
Care Instructions

Let the bar dry between uses. Like any bar of soap, if it sits in water, it will break down fast.

How To Use

Wet the bar and rub the bar between your hands or on a washcloth to form a lather. Apply the lather to your body or hair. Rinse off thoroughly. If using in hair, apply conditioner to your hair, if desired.

Please set your expectations appropriately so you are not disappointed by the shampoo usage of this product.

If you are accustomed to using a shampoo with sulfate in it, then using a sulfate-free shampoo on your hair will feel very different. When your hair is wet, just after washing and rinsing, your hair will most likely feel ‘greasy or heavy’ because the natural oils remain although the dirt has been washed away. Traditional shampoo strips the hair of all the oil, leaving that squeaky-clean feeling.

Use some conditioner after washing to help seal (flatten) the hair follicle. Dry and style as usual, then decide if a sulfate-free shampoo bar is right for you.
