Shampoo bar zonder sulfaten: zacht voor je haar én de natuur

Shampoo bar without sulphates: gentle on your hair and nature

At Nature Bar, we believe in the power of natural care. Our shampoo bars are handmade with botanical ingredients that cleanse and care for your hair – without harmful additives. That’s why we make all our shampoo bars without sulfates . In this article, we explain why that’s important for you and the planet.

What are sulfates?

Sulfates are cleansing agents found in many shampoos. The most common are SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate). They create a rich foam and remove dirt and grease. Sounds good, right?

Not quite. Sulfates are so effective that they also strip your scalp and hair of its natural oils. This can lead to dry, frizzy hair and an irritated scalp – especially if you use them daily or if you are prone to skin problems.

The benefits of a sulfate-free shampoo bar

1. Less dehydration and irritation

Without aggressive cleansers, the natural balance of your scalp remains intact. You will notice it soon: less itching, less flakes and a more comfortable feeling after washing.

2. Gentler for colored or curly hair

Do you have colored or naturally curly hair? Then a shampoo bar without sulfates is a must. Sulfates can make color fade faster and make curls frizzy and dry. Our bars cleanse gently, without stripping your hair.

3. Sustainable and environmentally friendly

Sulfates are often made from petroleum and are less biodegradable. By choosing a natural shampoo bar without sulfates , you automatically choose a lower impact on the environment.

What do we use then?

Instead of sulphates we use mild plant-based cleansers such as SCI (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate), extracted from coconut oil. They foam nicely, clean effectively and are gentle on skin and hair.

Our natural shampoo bars also contain only pure ingredients such as grape seed oil, shea butter and essential oils – without synthetic additives.

How to Make Elderflower Syrup (and Why I Love It)

There is something magical about elderflower for me. Every summer I look forward to that lovely, warm scent of blooming elder in the city sweet, slightly spicy and almost flowery like honey. It is as if nature is whispering: "It's summer." For me elderflower is pure nostalgia and inspiration. That is why I pick a small bunch of elder every year to make my own elderflower syrup . This homemade syrup is delicious in sparkling water, cocktails, on pancakes or even in a fresh salad dressing. And the best part: it is super easy to make and of course the perfect excuse to go into nature! Below you can read step by step how to get started yourself. What do you need? 20–30 elderflower umbels (freshly picked) 1 liter of water 1 kilo granulated sugar 1 organic lemon Optional: a few slices of fresh ginger or lemon balm for extra flavor Tip: Pick elderflowers on a dry, sunny day. They are most aromatic then! How to make elderflower syrup in 4 simple steps Step 1: Clean and prepare Shake the blossoms gently to remove any insects. It is best not to rinse them, as this will preserve the fragrant pollen. Slice the lemon. Step 2: Let it pull Place the blossom and lemon in a large (glass) pot or pan. Bring the water to the boil, pour it over the blossom and let it steep covered for 24 hours in a cool place. Step 3: Sieving and cooking The next day, strain the mixture through a fine cloth or sieve. Add the sugar to the strained liquid and heat slowly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then bring to the boil briefly. Step 4: Bottling Pour the hot syrup into well-cleaned bottles or jars. Seal immediately. Store in a cool, dark place, the syrup will keep for a few months.
