Sulfate-free formulas cleanse the hair without harsh chemicals, reducing the risk of irritation and dryness. Tangie’s shampoo bars are designed to clean hair without stripping it of its natural oils, making them a gentler alternative for those with sensitive scalps or dry hair.

Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bar: Details and Ingredients

Gentle, effective, and 100% plastic-free.

This solid shampoo bar is made with Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa)—a milder, coconut-based cleansing agent that gently lifts dirt and oil without stripping your scalp. Whether you’re fragrance-sensitive, dealing with scalp dryness, or simply avoiding sulfates, this bar keeps your wash routine clean and simple.

Each bar is available in one of three scent options:

– Lavender: With calming French lavender essential oil and a natural purple hue from mica.
– Rosemary Mint: Infused with rosemary and peppermint essential oils plus green clay (Illite) to absorb excess oil and refresh the scalp.
– Unscented: No added scent—just the pure formula for the most sensitive scalps.

Base Ingredients (all scents): Coconut Oil, Purified Water, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate

+ Lavender: French Lavender Essential Oil, Purple Mica
+ Rosemary Mint: Rosemary Essential Oil, Peppermint Essential Oil, Illite (green clay)
+ Unscented: No added fragrance or colorants

How to Use This Sulfate Free Shampoo Bar by Tangie

Less is more! Tangie shampoo bars are concentrated, so you only need a few swipes to create a rich, creamy lather.

Step-by-step:

1. Wet your hair thoroughly.
2. Wet the bar, then rub it between your hands to activate the creamy lather.
3. Rub the bar directly on your scalp 3–5 times.
4. Use your fingers to work the lather through your roots.
5. Rinse completely.

💡Pro Tip: The sulfate-free shampoo bar produces fewer bubbles and more of a creamy lather. Remember, bubbles don’t clean, ingredients do!

Why Sulfate-Free Matters (And Why We Still Love Our SCS Bars)

Sulfates like SLS and SLES are known for creating big suds—but they can also strip natural oils and irritate sensitive scalps. That’s why we formulated this bar without any sulfates, giving you a gentler option that still gets the job done.

At Tangie, our original shampoo bars (made with Sodium Coco Sulfate, or SCS) remain a customer favorite. SCS is a milder coconut-derived surfactant and is still considered a gentler cleansing option compared to harsh synthetic detergents found in many commercial shampoos.

But for those who are looking to avoid *all* sulfates, this new formula delivers a powerful cleanse—sulfate-free and fragrance-free—with no plastic waste. Win-win.

✨ BONUS TIP: While we offer pet-specific shampoo bars, the unscented variation of this sulfate-free shampoo bar can be a gentle alternative for small animals or pets with especially sensitive skin. Free from added scent and formulated with a milder cleanser, this bar is a thoughtful choice for those looking to avoid essential oils or potential irritants. We’re grateful to pet parents who go the extra mile to care for their animals safely — and we’re proud to offer a low-waste, natural option that supports your commitment to gentle, effective grooming.

Sulfate Free Shampoo Bars

Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bars for All Hair Types

Looking for a shampoo that gently cleanses without stripping your hair or irritating your scalp? Tangie’s Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bars are a game-changer for sensitive scalps, color-treated hair, and anyone embracing a toxin-free hair care routine.

Each zero-waste shampoo bar is handmade with simple, plant-based ingredients and no synthetic fragrances—just the good stuff your hair craves.

🧼 Gently Cleans Without Sulfates

Unlike traditional shampoos filled with harsh detergents, our bars are crafted with Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (a gentle cleanser derived from coconut), making them ideal for sensitive scalps, curly hair, and anyone looking to avoid sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or harsh ingredients.

🌿 Three Nourishing Formulas

Lavender – Soothing and calming for irritated scalps; great for winding down after a long day.
Rosemary Mint – Clarifies oily scalps and refreshes roots with a light tingle.
Unscented – Pure and fragrance-free for sensitive skin, kids, or anyone scent-averse.

✈️ Plastic-Free, TSA-Friendly & Long-Lasting
Each bar replaces 3–5 plastic shampoo bottles, making it perfect for travel, everyday use, and sustainable living.

🫧 Pairs Perfectly with Our Conditioner Bars
Each sulfate-free shampoo bar has a matching conditioner bar to hydrate and strengthen your hair naturally. Shop conditioner bars here.

Compostable Packaging

For all you eco-warriors out there (like our founder!), if you’re looking to ditch those pesky plastic bottles, you’ll love the plastic-free value of our Superfoods Shampoo and Conditioner Bars. Each bar is packaged in the smallest packaging possible because we really dislike wasteful materials.

The paperboard packaging for both the shampoo and conditioner bars is compostable! You can toss it in your home composter, bury it in the ground, or even tuck it into a flowerpot. Since it’s made from paper, it can also go in your paper recycling bin.

We’re always on the lookout for ways to reduce our packaging to minimize our environmental impact. Please note that the product packaging shown in the images may differ from what you receive.

Compostable Packaging

If you’re looking to ditch plastic shampoo bottles without sacrificing performance, you’re going to love our Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bars by Tangie. Each bar is boxed in minimal, compostable paperboard packaging—no plastic, no laminates, no greenwashing. Just packaging that actually breaks down.

♻️ Home-Compostable & Curbside-Recyclable
Toss the box into your compost pile, garden bed, or even your paper recycling bin. It’s that simple.

💚 Low-Waste Living Made Easy
We intentionally use the smallest box possible to reduce waste. Because clean hair shouldn’t come at the cost of a dirty planet.

Please note: Packaging design may vary slightly as we continue improving our sustainable materials.

Risk-Free Purchase

We stand behind our Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bars 100%. If you’re not loving the way your hair feels—or if it’s not the right match for your scalp—we’ve got you covered with our 30-day Money Back Guarantee.

Here’s how we make it a win-win:

1️⃣ Call us. We’ll help troubleshoot or recommend a better formula.
2️⃣ Prefer to try another Tangie product? We’ll send one at no extra cost.
3️⃣ Still not happy? Get your money back.**

We only ask for two things:

– Tell us what didn’t work, so we can keep improving.

– Gift the unused bar to someone who might love it. (Less waste. More goodwill.)

**Please note: Refunds apply to the product price, not shipping costs. As a growing business, we appreciate your understanding and support!

Why Sulfate-Free Matters

Choosing a sulfate-free shampoo bar is a personal choice—and for some, it’s a game-changer. Whether you’re managing sensitivities, following a specific haircare protocol, or simply want to avoid all sulfates, we’ve got you covered.

🌿 What does sulfate-free mean?
Most commercial shampoos use harsh sulfates that can strip away natural oils and irritate the scalp. Our Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bars skip those entirely, using Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa)—a plant-derived cleanser that provides a rich lather without the harsh effects of traditional sulfates.

💧 What about Tangie’s other shampoo bars?
Our original shampoo bars—made with Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS)—remain one of our most-loved formulas. SCS is a gentle, coconut-derived surfactant that delivers a rich lather and effective cleanse, while being far milder than the synthetic sulfates found in many mainstream products.

But we know that some folks prefer a completely sulfate-free option, whether due to personal sensitivities or haircare preferences. That’s why we created this new bar—same plastic-free goodness, now with a fully sulfate-free formula. Win-win!

✨ It’s all about what’s right for you
Some customers prefer no sulfates at all. Others find that SCS works beautifully for their hair type and needs. Either way, you’re getting a high-performance, eco-conscious shampoo bar backed by clean ingredients and no plastic.

We believe in options that empower because better haircare shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all.

Transparency You Can Feel Good About

At Tangie, transparency is non-negotiable—especially when it comes to what goes on your scalp. Your health, your hair, and our planet all deserve better than hidden chemicals and mystery ingredients.

You’ll find the complete ingredient list for each of our Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bars—Lavender, Rosemary Mint, and Unscented—right in the “Details and Ingredients” section at the top of this page.

Here’s what you can expect from every sulfate-free formula:

100% Vegan + Plant-Based

We only use ingredients that are safe for your body and kind to the earth. No animal testing, ever.

No Hormone Disruptors

We skip the synthetic ingredients known to interfere with your body’s natural balance. That means no parabens, phthalates, or hidden “fragrance” loopholes.

Truly Clean Haircare

No harsh chemicals, phosphates, artificial dyes, plastics, or synthetic fragrances. Just gentle cleansing powered by nature.

Want to dig deeper into why these matter? Scroll down to the section called “What Ingredients We Don’t Use—and Why” for a closer look at the chemicals we’ve chosen to leave behind—and how your scalp will thank you.

As I crossed the 50-year mark, I started noticing changes in my hair—less volume, more dryness, and a lack of that healthy bounce. Since I spend my days researching ingredients and formulating better alternatives for Tangie, I decided to solve my own haircare challenge the way I know best: with clean, effective, sulfate-free ingredients. A bar that cleanses without stripping, lathers beautifully, and gives my hair what it needs—without what it doesn’t.

What ingredients we don’t use in our sulfate-free bars—and why

Our Sulfate-Free Shampoo Bars are crafted for those who want to avoid all sulfates while still getting an effective, eco-friendly cleanse. Here’s what we leave out—and why:

SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES

Found in most conventional haircare, “fragrance” is often a catch-all term protected by trade secret laws, which means you’ll never know exactly what’s inside. It may contain phthalates and other chemicals linked to allergic reactions, headaches, hormone disruption, and more. That’s why all of our sulfate-free bars are either lightly scented with essential oils or completely unscented.

PARABENS

Used as preservatives, parabens have been linked to hormone disruption and possible cancer risks. None of our bars—sulfate-free or otherwise—contain parabens. Ever.

SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (SLS) & SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE (SLES)

These harsh surfactants are often added for lather, but they can strip your scalp’s natural oils and irritate sensitive skin. Our sulfate-free formula skips these entirely, using Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa) instead—a gentle cleanser derived from coconut that’s suitable for sensitive scalps and color-treated hair.

1,4-DIOXANE

A byproduct of the manufacturing process of SLES/SLS, this is a known carcinogen. By eliminating SLS/SLES from this formula, we’ve eliminated this concern too.

TRICLOSAN, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, PHOSPHATES & DYES

All absent. Because healthy hair doesn’t need harsh additives.

PS: If you love our original bars made with Sodium Coco Sulfate (SCS), rest assured—they’re still part of the Tangie family! SCS is a milder, coconut-based cleansing agent, and many customers continue to enjoy it. We just believe in offering a sulfate-free option too, because we know one size doesn’t fit all.

My promise to you

I’m not going to promise overnight miracles or magic potions. What I can promise is this:

With every sulfate-free bar, you’re making a choice to support your scalp, your hair, and your planet. You’re choosing fewer irritants, zero plastic waste, and a formula that works with your body—not against it.

At Tangie, we believe in ingredient transparency, eco-conscious living, and educating you so you can feel great about what touches your skin. Whether you’re dealing with scalp sensitivity, color-treated hair, or just want a gentler option that doesn’t come in a plastic bottle, we’ve got you covered.

Our bars are:

– Vegan and cruelty-free (certified by Leaping Bunny)

– Handcrafted with intention, using high-quality plant-based ingredients

– Free from artificial fragrance, parabens, sulfates, and phosphates

If you’re ready for a shampoo that respects your health and your values, you’re in the right place.
