NICAMA solid shampoo lemongrass-melissa (COSMOS) - 60g

What is solid shampoo and why is it an environmentally friendly alternative?

Solid shampoo is a solid form of conventional hair shampoo that does not require plastic packaging and is therefore much more sustainable. It is used like a bar of soap, but foams on contact with water and cleanses the hair just as thoroughly as liquid shampoos. Unlike many liquid variants, solid shampoo does not contain any harmful additives such as silicones or parabens. This makes it particularly attractive for people with sensitive scalps or an environmentally conscious lifestyle.

What characterises the solid shampoo with lemongrass and lemon balm?

The lemongrass and lemon balm solid shampoo combines two highly effective essential oils that provide intensive care for both hair and scalp. Lemongrass oil is known for its cleansing, degreasing and antibacterial properties. It adds shine to the hair and has a mattifying effect at the same time - ideal for people with quickly greasy hair. Melissa oil, on the other hand, has a calming and balancing effect. Together, the two ingredients ensure a fresh, healthy scalp feeling.

What are the advantages of solid shampoo over conventional shampoo?

• Plastic-free packaging - good for the environment
• Compact size - ideal for travelling
• High yield - one piece is enough for many applications
• No silicones, parabens or microplastics
• Suitable for sensitive scalps

Thanks to its solid form, solid shampoo does not require any preservatives. This not only increases skin compatibility, but also significantly improves the environmental balance.

How does the lemongrass essential oil in solid shampoo work?

Lemongrass essential oil has a refreshing and stimulating effect. It helps to intensively cleanse the scalp and can help to regulate excess sebum. This makes solid shampoo with lemongrass particularly suitable for oily hair or people who tend to have an oily scalp.

Further benefits of lemongrass oil:

• Antibacterial and antiseptic
• Has a deodorising effect
• Gives the hair shine
• Gently mattifies the scalp
  
  

Why is lemon balm oil so valuable in hair care?

Lemon balm oil is known for its calming and balancing effect. It is often used in natural cosmetics for irritated or sensitive skin. In solid shampoo, it ensures that the scalp remains relaxed and the hair looks smooth and healthy. The combination with nourishing plant oils strengthens the hair right down to the ends and gives it natural fullness.

How should solid shampoo be used correctly?

The application of solid sh ampoo is simple and straightforward:

1. Moisten with water in the shower.
2. Lather with your hands or directly onto wet hair.
3. Gently massage the resulting foam into the hair.
4. Rinse thoroughly with water.

An additional tip: Rubbing the solid shampoo directly into your hair creates a particularly creamy, thick lather. After use, make sure to store the shampoo bar in a dry place - for example on a loofah pad or in a soap dish. It will last much longer this way.

Is solid shampoo also suitable for sensitive scalps?

Yes, the solid shampoo lemongrass-melissa is particularly kind to the skin thanks to its natural ingredients. It contains no synthetic fragrances, parabens or silicones - ingredients that often cause irritation. Instead, the essential oils it contains have a soothing and nourishing effect, so that even sensitive or dandruff-prone scalps can benefit from it.

How long does a bar of solid shampoo last?

One bar of solid shampoo lasts for around 40-60 washes if used correctly. This means it can easily replace two to three conventional bottles of liquid shampoo. The environmental benefit is therefore not only due to the plastic-free packaging, but also due to the longer service life.

What ingredients does the solid shampoo contain?

The solid shampoo lemongrass-melissa consists of 99.98% natural raw materials and 36.3% organically grown ingredients. The INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) is as follows:

Is solid shampoo also suitable for travelling?

Yes, thanks to its compact form, solid shampoo is perfect for travelling, sports or camping. You don't need to observe any liquid restrictions when travelling and save space in your luggage. So it's ideal for anyone who travels a lot and still wants to ensure sustainable hair care.

What is the best way to store solid shampoo?

To ensure that you can enjoy your solid shampoo for as long as possible, you should allow it to dry thoroughly after each use. We recommend using a loofah pad, a tray with drainage or a soap bag. Never leave it in water - this significantly shortens its lifespan.

Which hair structure particularly benefits from solid shampoo with lemongrass balm?

People with quickly greasy hair or sensitive scalps benefit particularly from solid shampoo with lemongrass balm. The degreasing effect of lemongrass paired with soothing lemon balm leaves hair feeling fresh and well-groomed - without any residue. The ingredients also give fine hair new body and shine.

Why is solid shampoo the future of hair care?

Awareness of sustainability and environmental friendliness is constantly growing - even in the cosmetics sector. Solid shampoo is a prime example of sensible, plastic-free alternatives that are not only sustainable but also powerful. With natural ingredients, high coverage and ease of use, it impresses across the board.

If you want to make your daily hair care more sustainable, the solid shampoo lemongrass-melissa is the perfect choice - for yourself and the environment.
