Shampoo Bars
FAQs
Shampoo bars are solid alternatives to liquid shampoos. Compact, eco-friendly, and easy to use, they cleanse the hair without the need for plastic packaging. The shampoo bars by Panier des Sens are handcrafted in France with over 93% ingredients of natural origin. Their gentle, sulfate-free formulas are designed to suit all hair types, from dry to oily to color-treated, making them a perfect match for anyone seeking effective, natural haircare.
Yes. The Honey Shampoo Bar by Panier des Sens is ideal for dry or color-treated hair. With organic honey, coconut oil, and propolis, it delivers deep hydration while preserving hair color and softness. As with all shampoo bars from the brand, it is sulfate-free and pH-balanced to maintain the scalp’s natural health.
Unlike traditional bar soap, which can disrupt the scalp’s pH and dry out the hair, a shampoo bar is specifically formulated for hair and scalp care. The Almond Shampoo Bar from Panier des Sens, for example, contains organic almond oil to soothe and soften hair without build-up or irritation. All shampoo bars in the collection are adapted to the specific needs of different hair types.
A high-quality shampoo bar typically lasts between 25 and 30 washes, depending on how often it’s used and how it’s stored. The key to longevity is letting the bar dry fully between uses. Because they are French-milled, Panier des Sens shampoo bars are denser and more concentrated than traditional bars, making them especially long-lasting and economical.
Panier des Sens offers a full range of natural, French-milled shampoo bars tailored to different hair types and needs.
The best shampoo bar for oily hair is one that gently cleanses the scalp while helping to regulate excess oil. Formulas with purifying ingredients like clay or astringent botanical extracts can refresh the scalp, add lightness, and restore balance, without over-drying.
For this hair type, we recommand Panier des Sens Revitalizing Grape Shampoo Bar, enriched with green clay and grape seed oil to detoxify the scalp and boost natural volume.
Absolutely. Using a conditioner after washing with a shampoo bar helps detangle, soften, and protect the hair, especially if it’s dry or prone to frizz. Solid conditioners are a great way to stay plastic-free while maintaining a healthy haircare routine.
To complete the ritual, Panier des Sens offers an Ultra-Concentrated Solid Conditioner that pairs perfectly with all of its shampoo bars, providing long-lasting hydration and manageability for all hair types.
