Why We Chose Lemon, Black Pepper & May Chang for Our Eco Shampoo Bar

When we created our Lemon Pepper Eco Shampoo Bar, we knew we wanted it to be more than just a pretty scent. Every essential oil we use is carefully selected not only for its aroma but for what it brings to your hair and scalp.

Here’s why this zesty, spicy, and uplifting trio made the cut:


🍋 Lemon – for shine + clarity

Lemon essential oil helps cleanse the scalp, remove buildup, and restore shine to dull hair. It’s a natural astringent, making it ideal for keeping your roots fresh without stripping moisture.


🖤 Black Pepper – for circulation + growth

You may not expect to see Black Pepper in your shampoo, but it’s a hidden gem. It helps stimulate blood flow in the scalp, encouraging stronger hair at the root. Bonus: it brings a subtle warmth to the scent.


🌿 May Chang – for balance + calm

May Chang (Litsea Cubeba) is often used in skincare for its antibacterial and calming properties. In haircare, it helps balance oil production, making it perfect for scalps that are oily, irritated, or prone to buildup. It also adds a bright, sherbet-like note to the blend.


Conclusion:
The result? A bar that lathers beautifully, works in all water types, and brings real benefits to your hair – while still smelling like a summer day in your shower.
