Conditioner Bar
Conditioner Bar Formulation Class
When developing this solid conditioner formulation it took several tries. Finally discovered an ingredient that made all the difference that I do not see in any conditioner bars. It really helps to penetrate the hair, add conditioning, soft comb-through, add shine and does not weigh the hair down. This conditioner bar formulation pairs beautifully with the shampoo bar formulations. There is not another one like this on the market or any formulations like this.

Facial Cleansing Pods
Facial Cleansing Pods Formulation Class
Facial cleansing pods are sustainable, green, biodegradable and reduce plastic waste by not needing to be in a plastic container. Most plastic containers are not recycled, especially personal care product plastic containers. The recycling centers are very discriminating on the plastic they recycle; the color and the size matters whether it is recycled or not.
These facial cleansing pods are formulated with a solid surfactant. They are gentle and yet remove makeup and do not sting the eyes. Facial cleansing pods are highly concentrated and very little is needed to cleanse the skin. These pods need to be placed away from the shower water and in a soap dish and allowed to air dry between cleansing for longer usage.
