FAQ
What is shampoo powder?
Shampoo powder is a concentrated shampoo that becomes a creamy cleanser when mixed with water in your hands. Because the water isn't packaged with the product, it requires less packaging and shipping weight than traditional liquid shampoo.
Who is Balance Shampoo Powder best for?
Balance Shampoo Powder is especially suited for fine hair, normal hair, and people looking for a gentle cleanser that supports a balanced scalp and lightweight volume.
Is Balance Shampoo Powder safe for color-treated hair?
Yes. Our shampoo powders are gentle enough for color-treated hair.
Does this replace conditioner?
No. Balance Shampoo Powder cleanses the hair but doesn't replace conditioner. We recommend following with our Day to Day Conditioner or Conditioner Bar.
Can I travel with shampoo powder?
Absolutely. Because it's a dry concentrate, it's lightweight, TSA-friendly, and perfect for travel or camping.
Can I use this outdoors?
We recommend following Leave No Trace principles. Even biodegradable cleansers should be used at least 200 feet away from natural waterways.
Does Balance Shampoo Powder lather?
Yes. When mixed with a little water in your hands, it creates a creamy lather that cleanses thoroughly without stripping the hair.
What's the difference between Balance and Stimulate Shampoo Powder?
Balance Shampoo Powder is ideal for gentle everyday cleansing and lightweight hydration. Stimulate Shampoo Powder offers the same concentrated, low-waste format with cooling peppermint, rosemary, and clary sage for an invigorating cleanse that's especially nice for oily scalps or when you want a little extra lift at the roots.
