Never tried powder shampoo or a conditioner bar, here’s your chance.

 

Want a sustainable alternative to your haircare? Look at Ohmmm Care’s Canopy Series, which includes a powder shampoo and conditioner bar as well as a detangler (with no handle) and regular comb (with a handle). All of its products are free of sulfates, plastic, parabens, silicones and artificial chemicals. Furthermore, online magazine Beauty Insider gave its powder shampoo a thumbs-up with the Best Natural/Organic Hair Care 2022 and Best Shampoo 2022 awards.

New to powder shampoo and conditioner bar? It is simple. Wet your hair thoroughly, pour a teaspoon of powder onto your palm and add a few drops of water. Then massage directly into your hair. If you are looking for more lather, you can add in more water. For the conditioner bar, use it like you would a soap bar.

For short hair, the shampoo can last eight to nine months of daily wash and for longer hair, it could be around five to six months of daily wash. When you are finished, the powder shampoo, which comes in a bottle, is refillable.

Shared Daniel Tando, the founder of Ohmmm Care, “Customers go for the shampoo as they want to bring it for travelling. It is light and spill-proof. Those who are looking for more sustainable alternatives, it is also much lighter in weight (80 percent lighter than liquid shampoo) and translates into a smaller carbon footprint.”

He explained that the shampoo was formulated mainly for scalp care. For example, those with sensitive scalp and experience itchiness and acne outbreak on the scalp, the shampoo will help put a stop to those symptoms. In addition, users enjoy less hair fall as one of its ingredients, Vitamin B complex, helps with scalp circulation and keeps hair healthy and less prone to breaking/falling. Daniel added that they use naturally-derived ingredients and no artificial chemicals.

The conditioner bar contains vegan oils including argan, camellia, castor and olive oil.

The shampoo (113g) is available in three variants – fragrance-free (S$51 plus GST), lavender and tea tree (the fragrance ones are S$53 plus GST each). There is also a travel size (15g) (S$12 plus GST) in the various variants. The refills (113g) come in fragrance-free (S42 plus GST) and those with fragrances (each being S$43 plus GST). The conditioner bar (110g) is S$27 plus GST.
