Azorean Tallow Solid Shampoo

Handcrafted in the Azores, this solid shampoo bar combines grass-fed tallow with gentle plant-based surfactants and rosemary.

Cleanses without stripping, respects the natural balance of the scalp, and is suitable for all hair types and the whole family.

Tallow presents a biocompatible lipid structure that reinforces the skin barrier and supports lasting hydration (Russell et al., 2024; Kowalska et al., 2017). Rosemary, recognised for its characteristic aroma, contains phenolic compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties (Moreno et al., 2006), anti-inflammatory effects on skin cells (Osakabe et al., 2004), and evidence of scalp hair growth stimulation in studies with topical formulations (Begum et al., 2023). Panthenol (provitamin B5) penetrates the hair fibre, forms bonds with hair proteins, and contributes to increased strength and reduced breakage (Scott et al., 2022). White clay absorbs excess sebum without drying out, leaving the scalp balanced.
