The first commercial shampoo bar created and sold in Australia was from Tasmanian brand Beauty and the Bees, just under 30 years ago. Their products are hand made in small batches and they were doing this on a small scale before eco became mainstream.
Their traditional shampoo bars, which are in a cube shape now, are more like a soap than a sulphate free shampoo, so they require a bit of a transition period to swap from a commercial shampoo with sulphate in it.
Beauty and the Bees Traditional Shampoo Bars & their hair types
Tasmanian Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey - normal, dry
Tasmanian Real Beer - normal, oily
Voodoo Activated Charcoal & Honey - normal, dry
These traditional Beauty and the Bees shampoo bars may require a transition period from regular shampoo and may not be effective when using them with hard water. The manufacturer recommends the use of the new pH balanced shampoo bars to guarantee the best results.
