Why choose a solid shampoo made in small batches?

A solid shampoo made in small batches is one where every step is under control: the choice of ingredients, the formula, the making and the checks. At Homnès, our solid shampoos are made in small batches in Paris, in our Maison-Atelier in the Marais. Here is what that changes for your hair, and how to recognise a quality solid shampoo.

Why do we make our solid shampoos in small batches?

At Homnès, we believe performance should not come at the expense of natural ingredients. So we created a range of care products that combine precise formulation with natural ingredients, for results that are effective and kinder to the environment.

Small-batch production is at the heart of this approach. Making our solid shampoos in small quantities allows us:

• to guarantee quality ingredients, carefully selected;
• to favour more environmentally friendly methods, such as choosing eco-friendly materials;
• to offer care products with personality, designed for a specific need rather than for everyone at once;
• to make them close to you: by choosing our products, you support local production in Paris.

What makes a quality solid shampoo?

Two solid shampoos can look alike on the shelf and have nothing in common once in the shower. A few pointers to tell them apart:

• A formula designed for one hair type. An oily, dry, flaky or hair-loss-prone scalp does not have the same needs.
• Active ingredients you can identify in the ingredient list. A clay, a plant powder or a butter should be there for a reason.
• A real shampoo, designed for the scalp. Ordinary soap is not formulated for hair. Our article Can you wash your hair with soap or shower gel? explains why.
• A concentrated format. With no added water, a solid shampoo lasts a long time: an 80 g Homnès shampoo is equivalent to about 46 washes.

What goes into our solid shampoos?

Each shampoo from the Maison-Atelier meets a specific need, with its own active ingredients:

• normal hair: sidr, argan and D-panthenol, for softness and shine;
• oily hair: rhassoul, to regulate sebum;
• dry hair: shea, coconut, glycerin and D-panthenol, to nourish;
• dandruff: shikakai, to rebalance the scalp;
• hair loss: amla, castor oil and argan, to strengthen.

Science and nature, together

At Homnès, we believe science and nature can work together for your well-being. Our formulas combine natural ingredients chosen for what they do with precise, small-batch production, for results that are effective and kinder to the environment.

The solid format goes the same way: less water transported, less plastic packaging. To learn more, read Plastic pollution in cosmetics.
