When developing our products, we check all our ingredients against international safety standards. If there’s ever any doubt about an ingredient’s safety, we look for an alternative. We make our products to the highest quality and environmental standards, so you can be sure they’re safer for you and our world.
Formulated from plant and mineral-based ingredients to ensure excellent results, while minimising environmental impact.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Apply directly to wet hair, or lather in hands. Massage with fingertips and rinse thoroughly. Finish with our Nourishing Conditioner Bar for soft, healthy hair.
Use only as directed. If eye or skin irritation occurs, flush with water.
Store your Shampoo Bar in a well-draining soap dish - we recommend Block Dock - to keep it dry between uses.
RECYCLABLE CARTON
Easy to recycle carton via most kerbside collections. We use paperboard produced from sustainably managed forests.
SAFER FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT
The ingredients in our Shampoo are suitable for your septic tank and are safer for the environment. With proper greywater systems in place, the water from your bath or shower can safely be re-used on your flower gardens, lawns and trees.

Frequently asked questions
If you’d like to find out more about another topic or can’t find what you’re looking for here, please check out our full FAQ list.
If I use ecostore hair care bars, can I colour my hair as normal?
Our gentle plant and mineral-based hair care bars should not affect the colouring process. The pH-balanced shampoo bars gently cleanse and nourish hair, while the conditioner bar lightly coats to smooth and nourish hair. Our bars are free from heavy silicones that may substantially coat your hair and affect the dyeing process. If you are concerned about build-up or regularly use styling products, a clarifying shampoo may be used the day before your treatment. Consult with your colourist prior to treatment on what is best for your hair needs.
Are your products tested on animals?
No, none of our products have been (or ever will be) tested on animals.
Are your products suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, all of our products are suitable for vegetarians.
Are your products suitable for vegans?
A lot of our products are vegan-friendly, however some of our products do contain goat's milk, Manuka honey, beeswax or propolis from bees. These ingredients are carefully selected and must meet certain criteria before we use them. They must be sustainably harvested and animal welfare assured.
Are your products GE / GMO free?
None of our plant-based ingredients come from genetically modified crops such as corn or soy. While we’re against GE field trials, we agree with organisations like Greenpeace that there’s a place for the ethical development of GE in laboratories, for producing medicines like insulin, or useful enzymes. The enzymes used in our auto dish powders, dish tabs and laundry products are a result of genetically engineered micro-organisms.
Are you products gluten free?
Our products are not certified as gluten free. While the chance of our products triggering an allergic reaction to gluten are low, it cannot be ruled out. Our Manuka Honey & Kelp Soap, Manuka & Oatmeal Soap and Baby Soap may contain gluten. Some of the surfactants in our products can be derived from corn eg: coco-glucoside but it's the fatty acid component (not the protein which is what triggers an allergy). If a sensitivity is severe to any material derived from corn then please avoid our Dish Liquid, Baby Shampoo, and Bubble Bath. As well as the specific products containing gluten mentioned above, any ingredient that ends with GLUCOSIDE will have come from corn.
Are your products organic?
No, our products are not organic. While we do work with our suppliers to try and trace our raw materials to source and of course work with suppliers that we know have strong ethical sourcing criteria we cannot currently claim organic as some of our ingredients do require chemical processing. We do undertake continuous improvement and as new technologies become available we switch out those chemically processed materials for the most sustainable options.
Can I recycle the packaging?
Yes. Our bottles are made from sugar plastic which is 100% recyclable at kerbside. Our FSC Cardboard packaging is also 100% recyclable. Our bulk containers (5L and 20L) are made from standard HDPE plastic, which may have some restrictions on recycling due to the size. Please check with your local council as to their own restrictions.
Do any of your products contain alcohol?
Yes. Some of our products do contain Benzyl Alcohol which occurs naturally in apricots, snap beans, cocoa, cranberries, mushrooms and honey. It also occurs in some essential oils such as Jasmine and Ylang Ylang. We use it as a preservative to ensure our products are adequately protected from expiring. It's one of the few preservatives allowed in Ecocert certified products. It is a safe, globally approved and effective preservative that we believe is our best option for now and the near future.
Do any of your products contain palm oil?
Palm oil is a complex and emotive topic. We are committed to using certified, sustainable palm oil as it is a healthier and safer alternative to petrochemicals. It requires significantly less land than coconut for an equivalent yield. Our goal is to contribute positively to the overall transformation of the palm oil industry, through support of certified and sustainable sources. While we believe certified, sustainable palm oil is the best option for now, we also regularly assess alternatives. Find out more.
