Cyril's Soap Shed Goat's Milk Shampoo Bar

Natural nourishing shampoo bar made with goats milk

Cyril's Soap Shed have combined some amazing hair loving oils, along with their nourishing goats milk to create a solid shampoo bar. It is 100% natural, and leaves hair feeling cleansed and conditioned. Subtly fragranced with Lavender, Rosemary and Geranium Essential Oils.

Fantastic ingredients:

• Goats milk - packed full of vitamins and minerals, which can help repair damaged hair and leave it soft and manageable. Good for dry and sensitive scalps and helps stop any itchiness.
• Coconut oil - which moisturises and conditions.
• Castor oil - moisturises the scalp, eases dandruff, promotes strong healthy hair growth.
• Jojoba oil - rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish hair
• Wheatgerm oil - high in B vitamins which can help circulation in the scalp and encourage healthy hair growth
• Local, cold pressed rapeseed oil - to make your hair shine! High in vitamin E.
• Shea Butter - a great hair conditioner which gives a soft tangle free feel to your hair.

Switching to a natural shampoo bar is probably the best thing you can do for your hair and the environment, but it can take time to adjust! This can take anything from a couple of days to a few weeks, depending on hair length and how much chemical residue there is from your old shampoo.

As detergent (mainstream bottled) shampoo strips away the natural oils that protect your hair, your scalp produces more oil to compensate. As you change to a natural shampoo bar, your scalp needs time to rebalance oil production. It needs to realise that you are not taking the oils out, and it doesn’t need to produce more! During this period, hair may feel extra greasy or heavy. Make sure you rinse extra thoroughly after shampooing. You may find using an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse, or mixing a teaspoon of baking soda in a little warm water and rinsing helps with the build up of oils during the transition period.

The secret to success with a natural shampoo bar is to not give up straight away! Shampoo bars can take a bit of getting used to, and it may be a few days, or even weeks before you see the results. But they are worth it! 

How to use a Shampoo Bar

Gently rub the wet shampoo bar directly onto your hair from scalp to ends in a combing motion. Cover each section of your hair. Gently massage scalp and hair, adding more water as needed, until a good lather forms. Alternatively you can lather it up in your hands, and massage into your scalp and hair. Depending on your hair type, you may need a little conditioner on the tips of your hair, or use an apple cider rinse after washing with the shampoo bar. This will remove any greasy residue from a naturally different pH balance to commercial shampoos.

Cyril's Soap Shed

When the goats in Catherine's smallholding started kidding, they produced more milk than the kids, butter, cheese, yoghurt and ice-cream could handle, so Catherine came up with the idea of making soap - waste not, want not!

Their soaps are still handmade in her grandfather Cyril's old shed but sold all over the UK, including in National Trust shops. Each soap takes up to 4 weeks to make.
