Shampoo Bar Interview

shampoo-bar3Leslie Hughes of Joyful Soaps has put together an interview of myself and The Soap Sister about our experiences with shampoo bars on her blog. (Update: this blog is no longer available)

While I love using Lisa’s Opus Shampoo Bar recipe, I’m planning to do a bit more experimenting with some other ingredients today – such as nettle powder, seaweed powder, and hemp seed oil. I think I even have some panthenol in my supply cupboard. (Does that stuff ever go bad?) I still believe that beer is the liquid of choice in a shampoo bar, but I may try one with some chamomile tea again.

The girls and I are planning a little trip to Screamin Oaks Farm tomorrow morning to pick up some more fresh goat’s milk so I can try some of the wonderful techniques that so many of you shared on how to make sure all the lye gets dissolved in my goat’s milk soaps.

  1. Ooh nice! I’ll be really interested to see if those ingredients improve the recipe, Amy!

  2. I loved your honesty and thought how brave you were to show us all your pictures in your search for a good shampoo bar! You have put alot of time and research into this. I never would have given a shampoo bar a second thought until I read your posts. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and hope you make a great bar to sell! I’d love to try it!

  3. I’m off to read these posts now… just wanted to say that hubs and I used my tester Lavender, Patchouli & Mandarin soap on both our hair and face on holidays and my hair and facial skin is just fabulous! I’m not sure if the water in West Cork helped so the testing continues but I’m loving shampoo bars, big time!!!

  4. @Lisa – Me too!

    @Elizabeth – Oh, I’m so glad you have enjoyed this information. The shampoo bars really are great!

    @Celine – That’s wonderful news! I hope the soap continues to treat you well at home also. 🙂
