Zero Waste Conditioner Bars

We searched everywhere for some solid stats of how many plastic conditioner bottles are discarded each year. We could not find a definitive number but we did find this stat about Johnson & Johnson, one of the big players in the haircare industry.

23.53 million Americans used Johnson’s Baby Shampoo in 2020.

Now, think about the other products J & J sells in plastic bottles.

Now, think about the brands you know selling conditioner in plastic bottles.

Now, include the number of conditioner bottles used by hotels.

It doesn’t take a mathematician to figure out the number of discarded plastic conditioner bottles is staggering!

Making the simple swap from conventional bottled conditioner to a zero waste conditioner bar has huge impacts. Now, imagine if all your friends made the swap, then all their friends made the swap.

Then one day, all the companies selling hair care products in plastic bottles feel the pressure to stop bottling in plastic.That will be a great day … and that day is coming! The fact that you are reading this and seeking plastic-free alternatives is proof these changes are already taking place. So, we thank you for taking the leap to this easy swap!

We chose to use behentrimonium methosulfate in the ingredients as the plant-based emulsifier. It is derived from Brassica napus Linnaeus, also known as rapeseed. We know words that are hard to pronounce can be intimidating, but be assured we always strive to make our waste free products without any harmful chemicals or toxins.

Here is some science of Behentrimonium Methosulfate:

It is a quaternary ammonium salt. Generally found in hair conditioners to provide anti-static properties and as a conditioning agent. DO NOT confuse Behentrimonium Methosulfate with Behentrimonium Chloride, which is toxic.

Behentrimonium Methosulfate is an example of an quaternary ammonium ingredient that contains the sulfate compound (SO42-), but due to it being a cationic surfactant, the chemical process to produce this ingredient is less irritating and creates a more neutral/stable compound. As a matter of fact, this particular ingredient has the ability to impart some great conditioning properties to the hair by increasing slip and aiding in closing the cuticle, due to its cationic nature. This is just one example of a no-no ingredient that has some beneficial attributes, when used in the right context.

1. Are you stronger than your hair? Probably not! A full head of healthy hair gathered together can support 23 tonnes of weight.
2. We prefer redheads! The average number of hairs on the human scalp is 120,000, but natural blondes tend to have more, redheads less. This is because blonde hair is usually finer than densely pigmented hair, meaning there is room on the scalp for more of them.
3. Adding conditioners to your scalp or the roots of your hair can clog your follicles and slow hair growth. Apply conditioner to the hair starting from the mid-point down to the bottom of your hair.
