Star Ingredients


Cocoa butter:
Deeply hydrates and softens hair, seals in moisture to reduce frizz and boost shine, nourishes the scalp, and makes hair more manageable. Its rich fatty acids and antioxidants protect the hair and scalp, creating a smooth, healthy, and luxurious wash experience.

Coconut Vinegar: Derived from the coconut sap coconut vinegar is full of hair loving minerals and contains over over 16 amino acids (including all nine essential amino acids), proteins that are essential for healthy shiny hair. Coconut vinegar also helps in keeping scalp healthy and itch free.

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride: is a naturally derived, cationic (positively charged) conditioning agent that provides significant benefits in a solid shampoo bar, primarily by conditioning the hair during the cleansing process without weighing it down.

Key Benefits for Hair:

Exceptional Conditioning and Softness:
This ingredient forms a thin, protective film on the hair surface, which smooths the cuticle layer and leaves hair feeling soft, smooth, and silky.

Effective Detangling:
The smooth film minimizes friction between hair strands, making the hair easier to comb or brush, which helps reduce breakage and hair loss
during styling.

Anti-Static and Frizz Control:
Its positive charge neutralizes the negative charges that accumulate on hair strands, effectively controlling static electricity, flyaways, and frizz, even in humid environments.

Improved Manageability: By reducing tangles and frizz, the ingredient enhances overall hair manageability, making it easier to style and shape.

Moisture Retention:
The protective barrier helps to seal hair cuticles, which prevents excessive moisture loss from the hair shaft, contributing to better hydration and healthier-looking hair.

Lightweight Feel:
Unlike some heavier conditioning agents, it offers effective conditioning and body without leading to residue buildup or weighing down the hair.

Enhanced Shine: By smoothing the hair cuticle, it increases light reflection, which gives hair a shinier appearance. 

Shikakai: Is a gentle, natural cleansing due to its saponins, effectively removing dirt and excess oil, fighting dandruff, and soothing itchy scalps with its antifungal/antibacterial properties, promoting stronger, healthier hair growth, adding shine, and reducing hair fall.

ProVitamin B5: Moisturises and softens hair for pliability. Repairs follicle damage and rebuilds strands. Soothes and supports scalp health.

FAQs

Is SHIKA a shampoo or a conditioner?

SHIKA is a masterfully formulated conditioning wash. It performs the dual action of a clarifying shampoo and a weightless conditioner in a single step. Wild-harvested Shikakai cleanses gently
without stripping, while rich cocoa butter and Vitamin B5 infuse intense moisture directly into the hair shaft.

Will this bar work for my specific hair type?

Yes. SHIKA was intentionally engineered as a universal bar to balance and elevate all hair textures—from fine and oil-prone to
thick, coarse, and curly. It adapts to your hair's needs, removing oil at the roots while deeply conditioning dry ends.

How long does one SHIKA bar last?

Because our formula is hyper-concentrated and contains zero water fillers, one bar outlasts two standard 250ml liquid bottles.
Depending on your hair length and wash frequency, a single bar typically delivers 60 to 80 luxury washes.

Does it lather like traditional commercial shampoo?

Yes, beautifully. Unlike rustic soap bars that feel heavy or sticky, SHIKA uses premium, plant-derived surfactants. When activated with water, it creates a dense, creamy, cloud-like milk that spreads effortlessly through your hair.

How do I store my bar to ensureit lasts?

To honor the artisan craftsmanship of your bar, keep it out of direct running water between uses. Store it on a self-draining soap dish or in a well-ventilated space so it can air-dry completely.

Is SHIKA safe for color-treatedor chemically processed hair?

Absolutely. Our formula is completely free from harsh sulfates, parabens, and silicones. The natural pH-balancing properties of coconut vinegar seal the hair cuticle, which actually helps lock in
your color and boost natural vibrancy.

*Not recommended for semi-permanent coloured hair
