Solid shampoo bars help reduce plastic waste and extend the lifespan of products by concentrating ingredients into a compact form but their drawbacks prompted SeaBar to create a better way for consumers to make the switch to salon-quality shampoo bars.
Solid haircare products sometimes become mushy after use and the application technique often discourages consumers from making this sustainable swap. Set on developing a better alternative, SeaBar packages its solid shampoo bars in deodorant stick-style applicators so that the formulas can be swiped onto strands. According to founder Greg Dayley, "Each SeaBar will last as long as two to three bottles of liquid shampoo, reducing plastic waste significantly."
SeaBar's newest formulas include the SeaFarer Shampoo with natural DHT blockers, the SeaTree Oil with tea tree, and companion conditioners for both products.
