Formulation view Solid shampoo bar with sodium cocoyl isethionate for cleansing, hydrogenated vegetable oils for hardness. Shea butter for moisture, sea buckthorn and rosemary extracts for care. Silicone-free. Suited for sustainable, low-foam gentle cleansing. Formulator view: solid base must balance hardness and dissolve rate; fragrance and pigment need heat resistance to prevent powdering.
