Coconut and Avocado Shampoo Bar

Lather through the hands or directly onto wet hair & roots. Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly. For those unfamiliar with natural (non-detergent) shampoos, here are some pointers:

Time: Depending on hair type, it may feel unusual at first, but give it a few weeks to reveal nourishing and strengthening benefits.

Vinegar: If needed, you can also follow with raw apple cider vinegar to balance hair/scalp ph, detangle and treat itchiness. Simply mix one part of vinegar to 4 parts water in a cup and pour over hair from roots to end, leave on for few mins, then wash out excess.

Family-run brand Savon Stories was born from the wisdom and character of creators Moute and Raydolph's grandfather - who lived a fulfilling 115 years. Tall, generous and mild-tempered, he lived on a simple farmer's diet of fresh, raw foods, in small portions.

It was this combination of genuine character and minimal consumption that we believe was his secret to a long life. The family call it “raw minimalism”: to nurture the best of the good green earth and be rich with less than more.

Moute suffers from a form of eczema that strikes suddenly and severely, so if you’ve got sensitive skin, rest assured you’re in good hands with her recipes. But, she believes, healthy skincare is only complete together with healthy eating, mood and character.
