Ingredients: Honey Glycerin, Lemon Essential Oil
Honey Lemon Shampoo and Body Bar is an all-natural, plastic-free way to treat your hair and skin with indulgent care. Soap made with a honey base helps to brighten dull skin and hair, and is especially good for oily skin and scalps. Lemon essential oil is great for detoxifying skin and avoiding acne breakouts, as it kills bacteria build up in pores and hair follicles.
Natural shampoo bars are easy to use! If you are new to shampoo bars, finding the right bar and using the best technique for your hair can help in a successful transition from synthetic shampoo to natural shampoo bars. Since natural shampoo bars are so gentle, it can take a while to remove all of the silicones and petroleum-based products used on your hair for years. If you do not lather and rinse really well, you will have areas that remain coated with the soap oils and synthetic shampoo residue, which will make your hair feel “gummy.” The simplest way to avoid this is to fully lather and rinse your hair multiple times!
Soaps can be returned back to their bags for storage, keeping bars from sitting in water will keep them from softening and dissolving. They can be hung up in a shower or put in a cupboard.
Lakota Made's Shampoo & Body Bars are made without added preservatives or harmful chemicals, such as parabens, sulfates, formaldehyde, and synthetic fragrances. Our eco-friendly bars are also free of microplastics and plastic packaging, making them good for both your body and the environment!

First, make sure that your hair is thoroughly wet.
Gently rub the shampoo bar directly onto your hair from scalp to ends in a combing and/or circular motion. Continue to add water as you create the lather. (To avoid tangles, be sure to always work from the top down, don't pile your hair on your head, and use your fingers like a comb, not a mixer.)
Lather up your hair fully, then be sure to rinse, rinse, rinse!!! Especially if your hair is new to using a shampoo bar, you'll want to fully lather and rinse two or possibly three times.
The rinsing should take longer than the washing and lathering time. If your hair is long or thick, lift up sections of your hair to ensure that all of the shampoo bar residues are rinsed clean. Also, pay special attention to rinsing the middle back of your head and the nape of your neck, as these are common trouble spots.
