Make Kit Craft Kits Make Your Own Shampoo Bars

Shampoo bars are big news and it's easy to see why. There's no waste (or plastic), simple to make and use and they are more concentrated than traditional shampoos so they last much longer. In fact, this kit is equivalent to 3-4 bottles of liquid shampoo!

Our shampoo bar kit includes hair-loving ingredients, suitable for all hair types:

Shea butter moisturizes hair and scalp, reduces scalp irritation and helps prevent breakage. Citronella oil prevents dandruff, removes head lice and is excellent for general hair health. Rosemary essential oil promotes hair growth and helps a dry or itchy scalp. Calendula helps remove dandruff and hydrates a dry scalp.

Most store-bought shampoos strip your hair of its natural oils so the almond oil will strengthen damaged hair and adds shine.

The absence of lye in this craft kit means it is safe for children to make too.

This MakeKit project includes:

• 150g shea butter shampoo base (5% shea butter, lathers well)
• Shea butter (NZ pure)
• Rosemary essential oil
• Citronella oil
• Almond oil (NZ pure)
• Dried calendula petals
• Easy-to-follow instructions with images

Difficulty: 3/10

Suitable for: 8+ years to adults (children should be supervised when base/butter are melting). A silicone mould is needed for holding bars while they set (mini muffin moulds are ideal).

You can make this in: 30 minutes (+ setting time)
