Collection: Shampoos and Conditioners

SHAMPOOS and CONDITIONERS
Slow is a small company, created in the context of the first confinement decreed in Portugal. By its mission and values, it works constantly in the search for materials and cosmetic formulations that determine a sustainable and conscious behavior in the face of the enormous environmental threats we face today.

As such, and as with our soaps, our shampoo's and conditioners are handcrafted and only with natural products, certified in their origin, through scientific analyzes sent by our suppliers. We do not use synthetic chemicals, that is, artificially manufactured in the laboratory. They all come directly from nature.

WHAT IS A SHAMPOO OR A SOLID CONDITIONER?
A solid shampoo is the same product formulated for the liquid state from which all the water has been removed. It contains all the ingredients of traditional liquid shampoos, the same functions as these but does not require the plastic packaging necessary for liquid cosmetic products.
It is important to know how to differentiate a solid shampoo and a bar of soap for the hair, as they are not the same thing and act differently, having different consequences on the health of your hair.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SOLID SHAMPOO AND A BAR OF HAIR SOAP?

The bigger divergence between these two products, often confused and considered equal, is their formulation and consequent PH value.
A solid shampoo only contains ingredients that are beneficial to the health of the hair and scalp, gathered according to the type of hair and your needs, and where caustic soda is not added, a fundamental element for the saponification process. A shampoo is not a soap, so you should do without caustic soda.
However, there are numerous brands on the market selling “shampoo bars” or “hair soaps”, which, due to the identical formulation to the soaps, end up being harmful to hair health, and can even leave the hair very damaged.
The skin is a living organ, hair is a material that is already lifeless, only its root can be considered alive. So, for different materials, different products! And especially with different degrees of acidity!

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING A SHAMPOO OR A SOLID CONDITIONER?

They promote a zero-waste attitude as they are fully biodegradable.
They are easy to transport, on a trip or going to the gym.
They have much greater durability, up to twice the time of liquid shampoo.
They are more concentrated, therefore more economical.
They do not contain synthetic chemicals su as parabens, silicones, or artificial coloring, helping to preserve hair health and the environment.
