Why are Redgums shampoos solid bars, rather than in liquid form?
It’s difficult to make a liquid shampoo without using additional chemicals to prevent the mixture from separating, and without using artificial foaming agents, such as detergents. It’s also difficult to obtain consistency from batch to batch when making liquid soaps, and it requires an energy intensive process (ie cooking) that we believe is detrimental to the quality of the soapmaking oils. Even if we could come up with a way to make a liquid shampoo easily, we would have to package it in plastic, something that doesn’t sit well with our environmental standards.
