This gentle, high-performance bar creates a rich, creamy lather that cleanses without stripping, leaving hair feeling soft, smooth, and manageable. Formulated with Pro-Vitamin B5 and plant-derived proteins from Fision® KeraVeg18, it helps support moisture retention while improving the overall feel and appearance of the hair.
Because the base is already fully formulated, you get consistent results without the complexity of building a shampoo bar from scratch. It’s an ideal starting point for anyone looking to explore solid hair care or expand into shampoo bars with confidence.
Why You’ll Love This Formula
This shampoo bar offers a gentle cleanse with a rich, creamy lather that rinses clean, making it suitable for a wide range of hair types and everyday use. The addition of Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) helps improve softness and manageability while supporting moisture retention in the hair. Fision® KeraVeg18, a plant-derived protein complex designed to mimic keratin in a vegetable-based format, contributes to a more conditioned feel, helping to enhance smoothness, improve the overall appearance of the hair, and support hair strength.
You can personalize your bar by adjusting the fragrance using your favourite Hair Essential Oil Blend or fragrance oil, making it perfect for personal use, gifting, or developing your own product line.

Ingredient Notes
Fision® KeraVeg18 is a plant-derived protein complex that helps improve the feel and appearance of the hair, contributing to a smoother, more conditioned finish and supporting overall hair strength.
Panthenol, also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, is commonly used in hair care to help retain moisture and improve softness and manageability.
These ingredients are used at levels that are easy to incorporate into the base while maintaining good bar structure. When working with finished bases, it is important to keep total liquid additives low, as adding too much can soften the bar and affect performance.
