The Science Behind Conditioner Bars: How They Hydrate Without the Bottle

·

Have you ever wondered how conditioner bars hydrate your hair and add to overall shininess without the need for a bottle? Let's delve into the science behind these innovative solid hair care products.

Bottled Conditioner has 80% water

Traditional bottled conditioners typically contain up to 80% water. This high water content not only adds weight to the product, but it also dilutes the active ingredients, making them less potent and effective. In contrast, conditioner bars are water-free, allowing for a much higher concentration of nourishing ingredients delivered to your precious locks.

Conditioner Bars use Less Preservatives

Due to the high water content in bottled conditioners, manufacturers need to add a significant quantity of preservative to prevent bacterial growth and spoilage. Solid conditioner bars, on the other hand, require a tiny amount of preservative, as they are much smaller and don't have to preserve all the unnecessary water that bottled varieties contain. 

Conditioner Bars are Super Concentrated

Because solid conditioner bars are not watered down, they are much more concentrated than their liquid counterparts. This means that you can achieve the same level of hydration and nourishment with a smaller amount of product, making them more cost-effective in the long run. This ultimately means that less follow-up products will be needed to acquire that glossy sheen. Our best selling product is our Lemon Sorbet Conditioner bar packed with panthenol, protein and hair-loving argan oil.

Low Environmental Impact

In addition to their superior performance, conditioner bars are also more environmentally friendly. By eliminating the need for single use plastic bottles and lids, these solid bars help reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions associated with transportation, making them a sustainable choice for the eco-conscious shopper. It also makes them a better option for grey water systems with less preservatives being used and discharged back onto the earth.
