Lavender & White Kaolin Shampoo Bar — Gentle Care for Sensitive Scalps
Lavender has earned its reputation as nature’s all-rounder — and for good reason. Beyond its calming scent, lavender essential oil promotes moisturised skin, supports hair growth, and helps soothe scalp irritation. Paired with white kaolin clay, one of the gentlest natural clays, this bar provides a thorough cleanse without stripping your hair.
The shea butter base adds deep moisture while kaolin absorbs excess oil, leaving your hair balanced and your scalp calm. It’s the kind of wash that turns a shower into a ritual.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is in the Lavender & White Kaolin shampoo bar?
It is a cold-process soap bar made from saponified plant oils (coconut, sesame, sunflower, olive, castor) and shea butter, with white kaolin clay and lavender essential oil. It is 100% palm-oil-free, vegan, and handmade with organic ingredients. No SLS, no silicones, no synthetic fragrance.
Will this bar work in hard water?
This is a true soap bar, so it performs best in soft to moderately hard water. In hard water, calcium and magnesium react with soap and can leave a film on the hair — that is basic chemistry, not a flaw in the bar. A simple apple cider vinegar rinse (1 tablespoon ACV in 250 ml water) after washing dissolves any residue and leaves hair soft and shiny.
Is there a transition period when switching from regular shampoo?
Yes — we are honest about this. If you are coming from sulfate or silicone-based shampoos, your hair and scalp may need 1 to 4 weeks to rebalance. During this time hair can feel waxy or heavy as residues from previous products lift out. An ACV rinse during the transition period helps considerably, and most customers find their hair settles into a healthier, lighter state after a few washes.
How is this different from liquid shampoo?
Liquid shampoos are typically synthetic detergents with water, preservatives, and plastic packaging. This is a cold-process soap bar — concentrated, plastic-free, and made with whole plant oils. One 100g bar replaces roughly 2 to 3 bottles of liquid shampoo, giving 50 to 80 washes. The cleanse feels different: thorough and clarifying rather than slippery.
How soon will I see results, and is it suitable for a sensitive scalp?
White kaolin is one of the mildest clays available and is well suited to sensitive and easily irritated scalps. Lavender essential oil is included at a low, calming level. Most customers notice a calmer, less itchy scalp within the first few washes, while full hair condition typically settles after the 1–4 week transition. Pair with our conditioner bar for best results on longer or drier hair.
