Just a few years ago if you were trying to find a solid shampoo and conditioner bar, you would have been in for a wild ride. There were options, but there’s a reason they didn’t quite make it into the mainstream. 

Also a few years ago, our Earth Empress, Sarah, AKA President and CEO of ZeroWasteStore was researching, trying, testing, researching again, and educating herself on the best shampoo and conditioner bars. 

What we have today is years of work that have created award winning bars which have been featured in BuzzFeed, Health Magazine, Reader’s Digest, and more! 

compostable and recyclable box for suds & co bars.

Free from Silicone, SLS, Parabens, Fillers and Preservatives, each Suds & Co bar is Vegan, Cruelty-free, Palm oil free, Plastic-free, Zero Waste, and greywater safe! 

The main ingredient in our bars is Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS). We chose SCS because it is a mild cleanser derived from Coconuts that removes the buildup of dirt and old oils that harbor bacteria which can lead to dandruff. It is not SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) or SLES in another form. We use a whole food, very high quality version of SCS that does not cause drying or skin irritation yet still allows for the lathering and sudsy quality that we all love in our shampoo.

While each bar is ideal for all hair types, we have created bars with ingredients that work especially well for certain hair types or conditions. Read on to find out more about Suds & Eco shampoo and conditioner bars!

Best Suds & Eco Shampoo Bars for Oily Hair

Oily hair comes from over-active sebaceous glands on your scalp. Not only can that lead to the appearance of oil hair, but also cause buildup and dandruff. Among other ingredients, each bar contains lemon juice whose natural acidity helps to dry up some of that oil and clarify the scalp.
