We all want to have gorgeous, silky hair and radiant, clean skin. But most of our shampoos, conditioners, and shower gels are usually packaged in plastic bottles that add to the endless heaps of garbage, causing irreversible environmental damage. It’s 2020, and if building a sustainable beauty routine without plastic packaging is something you’re considering, we’re here to help you make the swap.
Many natural ingredients like plant extracts, fruit oils, and nut butters are actually more effective when they come in solid form. We’ve picked out some great (and effective!) shampoos, conditioners and soap bars that are formulated with natural ingredients, but also come in eco-friendly packages.
Soap Bars That Will Leave Your Skin Feeling Smooth And Buttery
For dull skin, this age-old Ayurvedic remedy can do wonders. Kama Ayurveda is one of the front runners in natural and organic products and this soap bar is concentrated with ingredients that’ll do wonders for your skin.
Chandan or sandalwood is something that’s been used in India since time immemorial. Infused with the freshness and citrusy flavour of orange peel, this soap bar is going to leave your skin thoroughly cleansed, nourished and glowing.
The Soapworks Oatmeal, Milk, & Honey soap is made with raw honey and ground oats that both exfoliate the skin, ridding it off dead skin cells and adding moisture and hydration. Apart from that, the natural fragrance of the product is great for a long ‘me-time’ bath routine.
Curd and cucumber are both great natural agents that tighten pores and get rid of pigmentation. Mint has anti-inflammatory properties and a refreshing fragrance and can be used to soothe the skin. Rejuvenated skin, here we come!

Murumuru as an ingredient repairs damaged strands, reduces frizziness, and restorers the softness in the hair. It adds a shine to dull hair and tames curly hair to make it more manageable. You can rub it between your hands to create a lather or use it directly on the hair too.
Conditioner Bars That You Can Shift To For A Plastic-Free Beauty Routine
Most liquid conditioners are made with 60 to 80% water and conserving water should be on our daily agenda. This one is enriched with argan and castor oil that will help detangle and nourish your hair. We suggest cutting your bar into smaller portions and using a little at a time to preserve it for longer.
This conditioner has sea salt that creates texture and adds volume while the extra virgin coconut oil in it conditions and nourishes the hair. It’s got the perfume of jasmine and vanilla along with a splash of fresh lemon and lime juice that lingers in your hair for a long time.
This is a shampoo and conditioning bar in one and it boasts of keratin protein, argan oil, and glycerine all of which smoothen, strengthen, cleanse and nourish hair. It helps prevent split ends and reverses the damage caused by heat and pollution, making your strands less breakable.
While making the shift to a complete plastic-free and sustainable beauty routine may seem daunting at first, it’s relatively easy to achieve and is the need of the hour. Let’s make the switch together?
