Zero Waste Hair Care with Fair Trade Olive & Apricot Seed Oil, 500ml

16.00

Finally, shampoo in a bottle that you can feel good about!

Fair Squared have blazed ahead and replaced their EPE liners with natural fair trade rubber - making them the only liquid shampoo (that we know of) that is 100% plastic free! Way to go guys!

Obviously, the shampoo's fab too. This vitamin-rich, regenerating shampoo is suitable for all hair types. It cleans gently but effectively to leave the hair silky and smooth and smelling like sun-ripened apricots.

Key ingredients are:

Fair Trade Apricot Seed Oil: Sourced from Pakistan, it’s rich in proteins and unsaturated fatty acids like oleic and linoleic acid, and packed with plant antioxidants providing a great source of vitamins A and C and also vitamins E and K. The fatty acids penetrate the hair follicles providing softening and moisturising properties that aid the scalp and hair, making it softer and more pliable while also reducing scalp dryness.

Fair Trade Olive Oil: Sourced from Palestine, olive oil is also rich in antioxidants and vitamin E. It’s been used for thousands of years to add natural shine and aid in bringing strength back to your strands.

You only need a small amount of this rich shampoo for each wash, so the 500ml bottle really does go a long way!

And if this company's credentials couldn't get any greener, they neutralise the CO2 emissions in making their product with Climate Partner.

Their bottles are also part of a zero waste scheme - so jump to "Packaging Afterlife" when you're ready to participate.

Certification: Certified by Fair Trade, Natrue, the Vegan Society and is additionally Halal.

Fair Squared have thought a lot about the afterlife of its products by introducing their Zero Waste range. Yes, you can send the glass, paper and aluminium lid for recycling if you want to, but these guys have made it possible to take things to the next level by going circular.

Collect ten of their Zero Waste containers to send back to them for refill, and they'll send you a voucher for 10 € off your next order. Go here for more.

Extra special kudos to them for replacing unrecyclable plastic EPE liners with Fair Trade rubber ones. Because of this, we love them forever.

Natural rubber does biodegrade, albeit slowly. If you're not going to take part in their Zero Waste refill scheme, please cut the rubber into the tiniest little pieces possible and place in your home composter, dig into your garden bed, or trash.

Wet hair, pour a 50-pence coin-sized amount into your hand and lather.

Once you have a good lather, massage it into your hair and scalp.

(Please note, this natural shampoo doesn't contain chemicals to boost foaming, so it won't froth up as much as standard, less natural shampoos but it does the job of cleaning & protecting, perfectly!)

Rinse, repeat if desired.
