The switch

“I replaced my plastic shampoo bottle with this.”

That's the whole idea. One small bar does the job of the bottles on your shower shelf. You get the same clean hair with a lot less plastic.

The Drop difference

A shampoo bar that does not feel like a compromise.

A lot of people have tried a shampoo bar and gone back to the bottle. Here's what they say about bars, and what we did about each one.

  • Drying

    Made with plant-derived cleansing agents and no sulfates, to leave hair soft.

  • Waxy

    Drop isn't soap. It's real shampoo in a bar, made to rinse out clean.

  • Hard to use

    Wet it, rub it on, rinse. That's all there is to it.

  • Too earthy

    Modern, clean, and good-looking. Nothing rustic about it.

  • Not good for real hair

    Made to perform like the shampoo and conditioner you use now.

  • Inconvenient to store

    It lives in a mesh bag that hangs up and lets the bar dry.

We fixed the experience. This is modern solid haircare that feels good, looks good, and helps reduce plastic waste.

Know what you're using

What's really in your shower?

We tested shampoo bars so you don't have to. Here's a plain look at what's in a typical bottle, what goes into a Drop bar, and why.

A typical bottle

Mostly water
Liquid shampoo is mainly water. That's why it needs a bottle in the first place.
A plastic bottle and cap
You use it for a few weeks, then it goes in the trash or the recycling bin.
A lot of shelf space
One bottle for shampoo, one for conditioner, and usually a few extras.

A Drop bar

Plant-derived cleansing agents
These do the actual cleaning and make the lather.
Sulfate-free
Sulfates are strong cleansers that can leave some hair feeling dry. We leave them out.
Silicone-free
Silicones coat hair to make it feel smooth, and they can build up over time. We skip them.
Vegan and cruelty-free
No animal ingredients and no animal testing.
No added color
We don't add dyes, so the bars are naturally white, pale yellow, or clear.
Plastic-free
No bottle, pump, or cap. The bar comes in a paper box.

We're finishing our formulas with a cosmetic chemist. The full ingredient list, with a plain explanation of what each one does, will be posted here before launch.

Who it's for

Clean, high‑performing, plastic‑free haircare — made for real life.

Pack with me: one tiny bar instead of three bottles.

A bar is solid, so it doesn't count as a liquid in your carry-on, and it can't spill on your clothes.

The planet part

High-performance haircare. Low-waste by design.

  • No plastic bottle, pump, or cap. When the bar is gone, nothing is left behind.
  • Paper packaging. The box can go in your regular paper recycling.
  • No water to ship. A bar is small and light, so it takes less space to move around.

How to use

Four steps. Ten seconds to learn.

  1. Wet

    Soak your hair and get the bar wet.

  2. Lather

    Rub the shampoo bar on your head a few times, then massage with your fingers.

  3. Rinse and condition

    Rinse it out. Slide the conditioner bar down the ends of your hair, wait a minute, and rinse again.

  4. Hang it up

    Put the bars back in the mesh bag and hang it away from the water, so they dry and stay firm.

Our story

Why I started Drop

I discovered shampoo and conditioner bars and realized that one simple shower switch could change the way people think about everyday waste. But many bar products felt too rustic, too drying, or too niche.

I wanted to create plastic-free haircare that felt modern, clean, beautiful, and genuinely effective — something people would actually want to keep using.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this just a bar of soap?

No. Regular soap can leave hair feeling waxy or dry. Drop bars are made with plant-derived cleansing agents, like a bottled shampoo, pressed into a solid bar.

What makes it low-waste?

There's no plastic bottle, pump, or cap. The bar comes in a paper box, and it's small and light to ship.

What's in it?

Plant-derived cleansing agents, with no sulfates and no silicones. It's vegan and cruelty-free. We'll post the full ingredient list, and what each ingredient does, before launch.

How long does a bar last?

Our testers are finding that out right now. We'll share real numbers here before launch.

Will it work on curly or coily hair?

Our first bars are made for normal hair. Tell us your hair type when you sign up, because it helps us decide what to make next.

Is it safe for color-treated hair?

We haven't tested that yet, so we won't promise it. When we have, we'll say so here.

How do I keep the bar from getting mushy?

Keep it out of standing water. The mesh bag in the Starter Kit hangs up and lets water drain away, so the bar dries between showers.

When can I buy it?

Not yet. Join the waitlist and you'll be the first to hear when orders open.
