French beauty and skincare brand L’Occitane launched a line of reduced-waste hair care products in the form of soap bars and solid vegan shampoos. With environmentally aware consumers in mind, the range has been developed with 95% biodegradable materials and the L’Occitane Clean Charter pledge for environmentally safe ingredients.
The solid shampoo bars with plant-powered ingredients are available in repairing, gentle and balancing formulations, and they share the rich aromas of essential oils. The silicone-free products are packaged in 100% recyclable materials and to support the ease of transportation and reuse, the products can be purchased in metal storage tins. These storage solutions could also be used for the brand's mindfully made soaps scented with shea, lavender or verbena.
