Placed 4th Worldwide in the 2026 Clean Beauty Awards.
Professionally formulated for dry, curly and frizzy hair, our Smooth Operator Hydrating Shampoo Bar gently cleanses while restoring moisture, improving manageability and leaving hair soft, smooth and beautifully hydrated.
Powered by an advanced hydrating complex featuring hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, quinoa protein and pea peptides, this moisture-rich formula helps replenish hydration while strengthening hair and improving elasticity for softer, healthier-looking strands. Betaine, derived from sugar beet, helps smooth the hair cuticle and reduce frizz, while nourishing buriti fruit and jojoba oils enhance shine and leave hair silky without weighing it down.
Like all of our shampoo bars, it creates a rich, creamy lather that rivals traditional liquid shampoo - without the plastic bottle.

KEY INGREDIENTS
-
Betaine
Our betaine is upcycled from the molasses industry, an amino acid derivative with a strong water binding capacity. This helps reduce frizz by keeping the hair shaft well hydrated.
-
Buriti Fruit Oil
Buriti oil is rich in beta-carotene, essential fatty acids and antioxidants that deeply nourish and protect hair. It helps restore moisture, enhances shine and smooths frizz. It protects strands from environmental damage and UV exposure for healthier, more vibrant locks.
-
Quinoa Protein
Low molecular weight hydrolysed proteins can penetrate within the cuticle for structural integrity and strength. Quinoa protein contains 16 different amino acids and aids in hair colour retention, conditioning, and protection.

HOW TO USE
- Wet the bar, rub between hands and transfer lather to hair or rub the bar directly on hair.
- Work lather through hair then rinse. Repeat if necessary.
- For a longer lasting bar, store away from the stream of water.
- Allow it to dry between washes on a draining dish such as our Reclaimed Wood Soap Dish.
- If storing in a container, wait until the bar is dry.
When the bar gets to be very small you can wet it and press into your replacement bar or use with our Sisal Soap Bag to cleanse and exfoliate your body.
A properly cared for bar will last approx 50 washes depending on hair length and thickness which is equivalent to 2-3 regular size bottles of shampoo.
