After seeing the difference the first bar made, the brand was born. WashBar carries an array of [soaps and palms for dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woof-gang-cosmetics) as well as shampoo for horses. WashBar is dedicated to reducing the impact on the environment. All its products limit the amount of single-use plastic being used with design concepts like [soap bars instead of liquid soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curie-body-wash-bars) and recycled tins instead of plastic packaging. Each product from WashBar is carefully crafted with natural ingredients and is paraben-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free, and contains no synthetic fragrances. As a result, all products are gentle enough to use on pets with a variety of mild skin conditions.
