Ethique Scalp Health Shampoo Bar — Oatmeal for Itchy, Dry, Flaky Scalps, 3.88 oz, Plastic-Free

Ethique Scalp Health Shampoo Bar is a solid, eco-friendly shampoo formulated with oatmeal, karanja and neem oils to soothe itchy, dry, and flaky scalps while cleaning hair without plastic packaging.

Designed for people who want a targeted scalp-first wash without liquid bottles, this compact bar replaces multiple plastic shampoo bottles and supports a gentler, more sustainable routine. It blends oat-derived soothing agents and nourishing plant oils to calm irritation, help reduce visible flakes, and maintain softness — suitable for travel and color-treated hair.

How does this bar calm itchiness and dryness?

The formulation focuses on calming botanicals and oils that support scalp comfort. Oatmeal-derived components are included to soothe and reduce the sensation of tightness, while karanja and neem seed oils supply gentle nourishment to the skin and hair strands.

• Oatmeal-derived soothing agents reduce irritation
• Karanja oil provides nourishing fatty acids
• Neem seed oil contributes calming properties
• Balanced cleansing avoids over-drying the scalp

Will it work for color-treated or fine hair?

This shampoo bar is formulated to be gentle on color-treated and finer hair types, offering a cleaning action that avoids stripping dyes or leaving coarse residue. Use with a compatible conditioner bar to maintain softness and manageability.

• Gentle surfactants suitable for color-treated hair
• Leaves hair soft without heavy build-up
• Pairs with Ethique conditioner bars for balanced moisture
• Travel-friendly size preserves routine on the go

How eco-friendly and travel-ready is this shampoo bar?

One bar is designed to replace approximately three standard liquid shampoo bottles, helping cut plastic waste and shipping weight. Its solid format makes it easy to pack for flights, camping, or gym use without risking spills, and it’s vegan and cruelty-free.

• Replaces about three plastic shampoo bottles
• Solid form is TSA-friendly and leak-free
• Made from renewable, vegan ingredients
• Plastic-free packaging reduces landfill waste

How should I use the bar for best results?

Use on wet hair and scalp, lathering the bar in your hands or rubbing directly over the scalp to create foam. Focus on massaging the scalp to lift flakes and distribute oils, then rinse thoroughly; follow with a conditioner bar if needed for extra moisture.

• Wet hair and scalp before use
• Lather in hands or rub bar across scalp
• Massage scalp for 30–60 seconds, then rinse
• Follow with Ethique conditioner bar for hydration

Who is this for? This bar suits anyone dealing with occasional or persistent scalp itchiness, dryness, or visible flakes who also wants a sustainable haircare option. It’s a good match for travelers, people who prefer solid products, and those with color-treated or sensitive scalps seeking gentle, plant-powered care without plastic bottles.
