Why choose an organic solid shampoo?

Why choose an organic solid shampoo rather than a conventional one?

One of the latest arrivals in the hair care family:the organic solid shampoo , which has become essential in our bathrooms. And for good reason:it is economical, ecological, pretty and it cleans the hair as well as a liquid shampoo! In short, at NUOO we have almost all adopted it. However, be careful, not all solid shampoos are created equal... Obviously, we can only advise you to choose an organic solid shampoo:here the organic and natural cosmetics , we believe in it hard as iron! So we wanted to introduce you to the little nuggets we have on our eshop.

Organic and natural cosmetics VS conventional:what are the differences?

You probably already know this:when a product is certified organic, it must obey a very specific charter which prohibits components deemed dangerous (for health or the planet) and production methods that are too polluting. As for natural cosmetics, they are not labeled but also meet very specific criteria on ingredients and manufacturing methods. Also be aware that certifications are quite expensive which does not allow all brands to have them.

Ingredients in organic cosmetics and conventional cosmetics

As said above, in organic and natural cosmetics you will find ingredients from organic farming, therefore without pesticides and GMOs. Take the example of solid organic shampoo, the ingredients that compose it will be healthy; mild surfactants, natural fragrance from essential oil, organic vegetable oils and regulated preservatives. On the other hand, a solid shampoo from conventional cosmetics will be full of chemicals:sulphate, PEG, potentially irritating synthetic fragrance, silicones and even endocrine disruptors... A very nice little cocktail.

Ecological impact

Natural and organic shampoos will have a less ecological impact compared to those of large distribution. The raw materials being cultivated in a controlled way, there will be no pollution of the earth or the air. Ditto when using organic shampoo:a study shows that only half of the products found in sewage water manage to be treated correctly before being discharged into the seas and oceans. And yes, it's not just sunscreen that is dangerous for the marine world...

Organic solid shampoos:the must-have

Organic shampoos are therefore much better for us, for animals, for the Earth and for our wallet! As for organic solid shampoo it is easy to use, we can take it everywhere with us; it does not take up space. It is also ideal for people who wash their hair daily because it is composed of gentle ingredients , non-irritating, making it perfect for sensitive scalps. The solid organic shampoo washes the hair as well as a liquid shampoo, and depending on your hair type you will find shoes to suit you, or rather natural shampoo to your head! A bar of solid shampoo can do the equivalent of one or two bottles of classic shampoo, crazy right? In addition, it does not generate any waste. Except for its cardboard packaging, which is recyclable. For the rest, once the shampoo is finished there is nothing left! At NUOO we are a fan of this concept zero waste, economical and good for our hair . But then, how to make your homemade solid shampoo you ask me? Let's already see how to select the right shampoo for your hair type.


To choose a solid shampoo suitable for your hair type, you just have to look at whether it is for dry and damaged hair, for colored hair, dull hair, curly or curly hair, normal or oily. Each particularity of the hair fiber can find its account. In short, to have beautiful hair, solid shampoo of natural origin has its place in your hair routine!
