I've not used liquid shampoo for about 3 years now.
I only use solid shampoo, which currently is the one from Fer ร Cheval.

Stylรฉ. Je connaisais pas mais รงa ร lโair bien plus รฉcolo. Je vais acheter pour tenter.
En tout cas, j'en suis trรจs content :)
Yeah same I've been on solid shampoo for like 8 years and it's great, and no more plastic waste.
Shower gel: Original Source. We love the mint one in our household and have loved it for at least ten years. The brand is British and vegan too, for those who care. They have a lot of fun and wacky variants, but the mint one is still the best one.
For hair I will probably return to Elvital (L'Oreal Paris) when my last Herbal Essence bottle is empty.
As for face creams and other stuff like that, I use Neutral which is a Danish brand that is known for their neutral products that are suitable for people with allergies or people like me who would like to put less toxic shit on our skin.
Well not Pantene anymore I guess :)
~~But I use Guhl for my conditioner, which is european, right?~~ turns out its not, its Kao (japanese).
I use Valquer because:
- it stopped my dandruff
- can buy in big quantities
Garnier, L'Oreal, Rituals
My hair likes some Garnier conditioners and masks. I thought Aussie was, well, Australian but it seems that's part of pg so... And I've been using a solid shampoo that's great but I threw the wrapper many months ago and I can't remember the brand.
As an Aussie I feel obligated to say I never had seen Aussie before until I was on holidays in Canada. I found it bloody hilarious.
Must we turn to OG Nazis to get away from modern fascists?
once nazi always nazi, eh? Just let us germans rot then, jeez...
Henkel were extremely enthusiastic participants in the Third Reich. If the object of buying European is to dunk on Americans, then fine. But if itโs a matter of ethics, then those who actively participated in the Holocaust would seem to me to be poor substitutes.
1945 was 80 years ago. None of the people working at any german company today were even born when the Holocaust happened. I don't see how that topic is relevant when it comes to buying decisions today. Punish corporations for stuff that they actually can influence today, not for stuff that nobody alive is even responsible for.
I use Nizoral, which I'm pretty sure is made in the UK.
Der-med.
I miss the cheap big gallon jugs of egg cream shampoo you could buy in the 70's. /s
Lavera, an eco-brand from Hannover (Germany)
Oof, haven't checked prices recently but above names make my "expensive brand" sirens go off
God damn it, pantone is the only shampo that has really been able to tame my hair, and i litteraly bought a head and shoulders bottle 2 days ago.
If you have to buy American, mane and tail. The rich donโt care if the poors have hair, they care if their horses do.
I like Faith In Nature. Vegan, natural ingredients, recycled/recyclable packaging, cruelty free. Smells lovely too.
I like Slovak brand Soaphoria. Theyโre focused on making ecological and natural products. Especially their solid shampoos are great (itโs also worth noting, that theyโre only packaged in a paper box, not in a big plastic bottle).
Other brand that I like (even though itโs not really a hair-shampoo brand) is Floris London. They only have a single shampoo, but I have very good results out of that. But this one is a bit on the pricier side compared to Soaphoria.
I'm OOTL, what's wrong with H&S? (Besides not being European)
Arbre vert has been treating my hair pretty well
I love the own brands form Rossmann (German but starting to expand) and for shampoo specifically have mostly switched to solid bars. Gels only for travel ๐
I love polish brand Ziaja, but I will be Testing a Shampoo form Yves Rocher which I got for free ๐คญ
