Bar Soap & Shampoo Bars

Liquid soap and shampoo are mostly water — you're paying to ship water in plastic bottles. A $5-12 shampoo bar from brands like Ethique or HiBAR lasts as long as 2-3 bottles of liquid shampoo ($8-15 each). That's $10-30 saved per bar while eliminating 2-3 plastic bottles. Globally, 552 million shampoo bottles end up in landfills every year. Bar soap generates 25% less carbon than liquid soap in production and 40% less in packaging. The concentrated format also means less weight in shipping, cutting transport emissions by up to 50%.
