Made in the USA. Compostable paperboard packaging.
Wet your hair, then rub the bar directly onto your scalp. A few swipes across your head are all you need. Set the bar down and massage your scalp to work up a rich lather. Rinse well, and follow with conditioner if you like.
Shampoo bars are easy to use, and once you get the hang of them, you won’t want to go back to plastic bottles.
Pro Tip: Let the bar dry between uses. Like any bar of soap, it breaks down fast if it sits in water.
Why Less Can Be More
Whatever your hair type, you likely need less shampoo than you think. For years, marketing has told us more is better. Try a few swipes of the bar and watch how it lathers — a little goes a long way.
The real test is how your hair feels once it’s dry and styled. A few washes in, you’ll know the exact amount that works for you.
Tangie shampoo bars contain Sodium Coco Sulfate. SCS is a strong surfactant that clears dirt, oil, and product buildup from the scalp and hair.
Derived from coconut oil, SCS is a more natural alternative to some synthetic surfactants, which appeals to shoppers looking for eco-friendly options.

I use the citrus shampoo and it is amazing! My course wavy repeatedly highlighted (😅) hair has never been healthier! I highly recommend it!!

The rosemary, lemongrass, and lime shampoo bar is one of the best things I’ve ever smelled in my life… not even exaggerating. So fresh, sweet, and a citrusy! I would wear a perfume of this, but until that day comes, I’m going to only use this shampoo bar for the rest of my life.
On top of the great smell, it *feels* great on the hair and scalp too. I put it in a mesh bag so it drip dries. I just wet it a tiny bit and lather it, and it generates a beautiful, rich lather! Way better than liquid shampoo. I have very thick hair and so does my husband, with us both using it 6 times a week, a single bar lasted us 3 months!
Can’t wait to try the other flavors !
Also, despite some of my items missing in my first order, she sent me out the missing items for no extra charge promptly. Thank you for that! It was oh so worth the wait.
Sue –
This is a great shampoo. I use this bar every other time that I wash my hair. The other times I use the purple bar for gray hair. I love them both! They lather nicely and give my hair a lot of body. My hair is very fine so this is important. My hair even looks good the next day!
Angie Ringler –
Sue, thank you so much for your kind words! 💜 We love that you’ve found a perfect routine using both the purple pigment bar and this shampoo—what a great combo! It’s wonderful to hear that they lather well and give your fine hair the body it needs, plus an extra day of great hair is always a win!
We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and being a part of the Tangie family. Here’s to many more fabulous hair days ahead! 😊
Amy –
This is hands down the best shampoo bar I have ever used! I purchased the Rose Geranium bar at a small shop in Burnsville, NC. I have a very sensitive scalp and have tried countless shampoos and shampoo bars with little to no success. These shampoo bars clean my hair and scalp without tangling it and give me a good hair day every day. I can even go every other day without washing which I have never been able to do before. Thank you Angie for such an amazing product!!!
Angie Ringler –
Wow, thank you for such an incredible review! 🌸 We’re overjoyed to hear that the Rose Geranium shampoo bar has been a game-changer for you. Knowing it works so well for your sensitive scalp and gives you consistent good hair days truly warms our hearts!
It’s especially exciting to hear you can now skip a day between washes—what a fantastic bonus! Thank you for supporting Tangie and sharing your experience. Hearing stories like yours inspires us to keep creating products that make a difference.

I bought the limited edition Spring Italian Rose shampoo bar. The smell is divine and it cleans my hair thoroughly without stripping it. Can’t wait to try other scents!

Absolutely love my shampoo bars ! These were the first brand I ever tried. They make my hair feel good but not overly greasy with product. The packaging was great too. It was appropriate for the 4 bars I ordered!
Angie Ringler –
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We’re beyond excited to know our shampoo bars were your first and that they’ve been such a great fit for your hair. It’s wonderful to hear they leave your hair feeling fresh without that heavy product buildup—exactly what we aim for!
We also appreciate your feedback on the packaging! We’re always mindful to make it both sustainable and practical, so it’s great to know it worked well for your four-bar order. Thank you for your support, and we’re thrilled to have you as part of the Tangie family!
Danielle –
I love the rose geranium shampoo bar. The scent is not overwhelming, unlike some others that I’ve tried. I like that it really doesn’t take much to get a good lather going. I’ve been using the same bar for at least two months, and it’s only about half gone. For reference, I wash my hair every other day, but I keep the bar out of the shower so it doesn’t get wet except for when I’m using it.
Angie Ringler –
We love hearing real life results of how long Tangie shampoo bars can last and that you are having the positive experience we set out to provide. Your feedback will be so helpful for others who are interested in trying Tangie products. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I have been using Tangie shampoo bars since…well the company started just about. It took a bit of prodding to convince my 24 yr old son to try the shampoo bars…well lo and behold he has found a favorite in the Bergamot & Patchouli. He is always reminding me how well the bars lather up and his hair is so soft and smells great. He loves how he doesn’t have to wash it everyday and there is no buildup or as he say “crappy chemicals” invading his brain, just clean great smelling hair. Thanks for a great product.
Kristi –
I’ve been using these bars for several years. Lather amazingly, amd hey actually CLEAN hair…even with product and oil buildup! Hair is soft, clean, and smooth. Leaves no residue unlike other shampoo bars I’ve tried. Also allows me to go longer between washes, as opposed to conventional shampoos which strip my scalp and hair gets oily again within a day. My husband also loves these bars. Plan to be a life-long customer. For reference, I have relatively straight, fine, undyed hair. Can’t recommend enough!
Angie Ringler –
Thank you for being a long-time customer! It makes us so happy to know the products consistently work so well for you and your hubby! The only thing better than a good hair day, is a great review :P Thank you for taking the time to leave your detailed review.
Dianne Brooke –
I have tried several shampoo bars that were…meh…. I have not used commercial hair care products since 2014, using mostly herbal teas or clays and happy with the results. I then developed a weird thing with my scalp and had to use a prescription recently. Feeling I needed a little extra something after this, I found Tangie and thought I’d give the one with calamine powder in it a try to ease my scalp issues. I am so thrilled to report it leaves my hair so clean and my scalp very happy! And a little goes a long way!
Angie Ringler –
Woohooo – happy scalp – we LOVE hearing that! Thank you for giving Tangie shampoo bars a try and knowing your hair & scalp are benefitting truly makes our day. We appreciate you so much that you took the time to leave such a detailed review.
Trixie –
Another Winner. I’ve tried a few different Tangie Shampoo Bars and loved them all right from the start, but I think the Rose Geranium is my favorite so far. I’m all about the suds, and there are plenty of them here, but it’s also mild and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, and my hair is soft and shiny afterwards. Such a good shampoo!
Angie Ringler –
Thank you for the kind and detailed review! It is so helpful for prospective customers to know what our products are designed for sensitive skin and actually work :)

I purchased the unscented version along with the matching conditioner bar, and LOVE THEM! They lather up so quickly, and it doesn’t take much of the product at all, so it’s very economical as well as earth friendly! I’m truly in love with all the Tangie products I’ve tried! An awesome company that makes awesome products!
Angie Ringler –
We know it’s not easy finding truly unscented products, so we’re thrilled to know you are loving them both. Thank you for your business!
ning –
Remarkable product! It lasts a long time. Tiny application and it does its work. It smells very good too! (Im using Bergamot and Pachouli). Great for travel and everyday use. The shampoo and conditioner work together very well!
I will definitely buy again! I already recommended this to my friends.

My son is trying to live a more environmentally-friendly life and I talked him into giving shampoo bars a try. The cedarwood scent was the perfect one for him. He could not believe how well it lathered and worked on his thick hair! We appreciate that Tangie packs and ships its products in compostable packaging with no plastic!
Angie Ringler –
Thank you for giving a shampoo bar to your son. We are thrilled to know he liked it. You’re a great momma! We feel it is very important for the younger generations to try and limit their exposure to chemicals, since it starts at such an early age. Toxins are all around us, but what we put in and around our body is the positive choices we can make for our health. Also, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate that too.
Becky L. –
I’ve tried several brands of shampoo bars and Tangie is my favorite by far! Excellent lather, clean rinsing and a great scent. I’ve recommended them to family and friends who want to break the plastic habit. I appreciate that they are packed and shipped with care and no plastic packaging. This is a super company!
Angie Ringler –
Going plastic free for products and shipping was not an easy transition for us as a business, but it has been totally worth it, so we thank you for appreciating it and giving us your business. We look forward to a long relationship with you.
Bea Greever-Clements –
I just started using this as a gift from a friend. Loved it! Bought my own once I had used up hers!!!
Angie Ringler –
You have some awesome friends, Bea. :) Thank you for choosing to come to us and buy your own bar. we hope this is the beginning of a very long relationship. Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review!
Michelle W –
Totally recommend these shampoo bars! For so long I was always searching for the best shampoo and I didn’t like using the plastic containers they came in. When I started using the shampoo bars I was so amazed how HEALTHY my hair is now!! I have baby fine, wavy hair and i don’t have frizz now. The conditioner bars are a must too. I compost in my garden the packaging that my bars come in! Thank you tangie!
gkateeples –
These shampoos are a treat! Wonderful fragrances and luxurious lather. I got the bundle that included shampoo, conditioner and a little carry pouch. I bring it with me to swim and it works much better than travel size containers.
christian.austin –
When we got this bar and saw the size, we were pretty concerned that it would not last very long.
But it suds up REMARKABLY fast with VERY little application. Just a few passes through the hair is sufficient to work up a thick, effective lather and fully cleanse your hair. Hair feels healthy and balanced too.
Angie Ringler –
It is remarkable how long two ounces of shampoo can last! We love that you are receiving monetary value from our zero waste shampoo bar PLUS getting healthy & balanced hair! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review!
