Use:You can lather the shampoo bar in your hands and massage the shampoo foam into wet hair, or you can lather it directly into the hair by massaging the shampoo bar as it is into wet hair. Massage thoroughly and rinse with lukewarm water.

Use of split shampoo in treated hair:

Please note that stressed hair may initially experience so-called soap scum. This is a fairly common phenomenon when you start washing stressed or processed hair with a shampoo bar. In this case, soap residues may remain in the scaly structure of the hair, which can make the hair feel sticky.

The more worn and stressed the hair is, the more the hair scales are open and the easier it is for soap scum to remain in the scales. The hair is worn out by, for example, brushing, dyeing, sun roasting and heat treatment, as well as styling products.

In most cases, the stickiness disappears after a few washes, but well-worn or treated hair may require an additional vinegar rinse. Vinegar rinse is vinegar diluted in water. Some wine vinegar can be used in the rinse, such as apple cider vinegar, or more ecological spirit vinegar (many wine vinegars contain sulfates, which may cause symptoms for the most sensitive, and which are dangerous for aquatic organisms when they return to the water).

You can make a vinegar rinse yourself by diluting the vinegars mentioned above with water. A good mixing ratio for vinegar rinse is 1 - 2 tsp / 2 dl water. The vinegar rinse is rinsed off the hair immediately.
Vinegar can also remove mineral residues from the hair, in which case the vinegar rinse should be stronger, about 1/4 vinegar and 3/4 water, and the rinse can be left on the hair for a while.

Tip for storage:If you want to extend the life of your bar soap and keep it more hygienic, we recommend buying itdomestic Novapuu soap dish. Novapuu's antibacterial soap base helps the bar of soap to dry better between uses, and preserves its hygiene for the next use.

The handmade production and packaging of our bar soaps employs 5-9 people, preserving jobs that would have disappeared in automated lines.

These unprocessed oils contain all natural skin-healing vitamins, antioxidants, flavonoids and other nutrients. They give our products the promised power, because only unprocessed oil retains all skin-healing properties.

Shea butter contains special ingredients such as squalene, lanosterol and amyrins that are not often found in other vegetable oils. When shea butter is processed, the amount of certain substances it contains, such as tocopherols (types of vitamin E) and sterols (fat-soluble compounds), is reduced.

Processing affects the antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties of shea butter and its components. Unprocessed shea butter is particularly effective against fungi because it contains a combination of different antioxidants. The olein part, on the other hand, is effective against microbes thanks to the high amount of antioxidants and bioactive ingredients.

What does bleaching and deodorizing remove from shea butter?

• vitamins and minerals
• antioxidants and tocopherols
• tannins
• flavonoids and carotenoids
• polyphenols
• lingans
• terpenes and terpenoids
• phytosterols
• squalene
• and many others
