Embracing Softness: The Natural Secret Behind Parrotfish's Sustainable Soap Bars
Welcome to the world of gentle indulgence! Parrotfish's sustainable soap bars are here to transform your bathing experience with our soft, all-natural goodness. You might notice a charming difference as you pamper your skin with these delightful soap bars - they may appear slightly softer than conventional soaps.
The Beauty of Softness and Natural Ingredients
Parrotfish's soap bars are a testament to the power of nature's nurturing touch. We utilize the inherent properties of the soap's main ingredients to reinforce our bars naturally, avoiding harsh chemical hardening agents common in traditional soap manufacturing. Our careful blend of olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, sweet almond oil, and sunflower oil undergoes a magical transformation known as saponification during the soap-making process. This natural chemical reaction not only converts these nourishing oils and butter into a gentle cleansing bar but also contributes to a firmer texture over time. By embracing the power of nature, Parrotfish ensures that your skin and the environment receive the utmost respect and care.
The All-Natural Lineup
Let's take a closer look at the main ingredients that make Parrotfish's sustainable soap bars so special:
Coconut Oil: Known for its luxurious lather, coconut oil cleanses and hydrates your skin, creating a soothing bathing experience.
Shea Butter:Derived from the shea tree, shea butter is a natural emollient, providing your skin with essential moisture and protection.
Sweet Almond Oil: With its soothing properties, it helps maintain skin balance, leaving it calm and rejuvenated.
Sunflower Oil: Easily absorbed by the skin, sunflower oil retains moisture, promoting a radiant and healthy complexion.
Water: As the foundation of every soap, water plays a crucial role in soap-making, ensuring a gentle and effective product.
Sodium Hydroxide (Lye): Used during saponification, sodium hydroxide combines with oils to create soap while leaving no traces in the final product.
Essential Oils:Parrotfish carefully selects essential oils to add a pleasant aroma and potential extra skin benefits to our soap bars.The Absence of Chemical Hardening Agents
Parrotfish's sustainable soap bars stand out for what they don't contain - harsh chemical hardening agents commonly found in traditional soaps. Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is a surfactant known for its excellent foaming and cleansing properties but can be harsh on the skin, stripping natural oils and causing potential irritation. Tetrasodium EDTA, a chelating agent used to bind metal ions, poses environmental concerns due to its non-biodegradability. Parrotfish's decision to avoid using SLES and Tetrasodium EDTA aligns with our commitment to providing gentle, eco-friendly, and skin-friendly products that prioritize your well-being and the environment.
Preserving the Softness: The Role of a Soap Dish
To ensure that the softness of Parrotfish's soap bars remains intact, a soap dish becomes an essential companion, providing a luxurious and sustainable bathing experience. Opt for soap dishes that dry quickly, like ceramic or stainless steel ones, to prevent the soap from becoming soggy. Proper drainage with built-in channels or slats keeps the soap elevated and allows water to flow away efficiently. Additionally, soap dishes that gently lift the soap off the surface maintain its shape and texture, ensuring a delightful bathing experience each time. By choosing a thoughtfully crafted soap dish, you contribute to the longevity of your soap bars and join the eco-conscious journey alongside Parrotfish in preserving the environment and embracing the beauty of natural ingredients.

Love this soap bar! The lavender smell is great, not artificial and really relaxing. I have really dry, sensitive skin and the olive oil formulation is great.
My only regret is that I didn’t review sooner! (Sorry!!!) The contents of this review pertain to the Peppermint Shampoo Bar and the Argon Oil Conditioner Bar.
Hair Type: 2B, almost 2C, and relatively fine.
I have gotten SO MANY compliments on my hair since swapping to your shampoo bars! That I can rest easy knowing I can continue to both afford them AND am supporting a woman owned, environmentally friendly, and very cool business is a huge set of bonuses.
The shampoo & conditioner bars are all 10/10, absolutely recommend. I have now tried all of them, but my favorite combination remains Argon Oil Shampoo Bar & Peppermint Conditioner Bar. I’ve gotten so many compliments on these products from my sisters and guests that it was an obvious solution now that I (finally) have a guest bathroom to stock it with Parrotfish.
I’ve been using Parrotfish’s argon oil shampoo and conditioner for more than a year and I absolutely love it. I’m an old guy with long hair and this stuff keeps my hair soft and smelling good.
I am thrilled to have a case specifically for my shampoo and conditioner bars when I travel. No more plastic baggies! It is a perfect addition to my travel cases.
I found this Nourishing Shampoo Bar at our local HEB Central Market. I wasn't sure what to expect but was super impressed after I tried this shampoo bar. I love the mint scent and that it was effective at cleansing my hair and scalp. I loved the soft feeling afterward. I plan to buy the conditioner bar the next time that I run to HEB Central Market.
Wow! This is my first experience with shampoo in a bar, and I am a big fan. It lathers easily and feels good on your scalp. It rinses out easily and left my hair feeling soft and moisturized when it dried. I like how convenient and small the packaging is, and I like that it claims to replace up to three shampoo bottles.
My family and I are obsessed with the smell, texture, and softness that it leaves our hair after washing. As a blonde, I had to wash my hair once/day or once/two days due to my hair appearing oily after using liquid products, which would then aggravate my scalp; now, I wash my hair once every 3-4 days because my hair maintains shine and softness. For blondies and gray/silver-headed beauties, do yourself a favor and try this pairing.
I have to admit I was skeptical about how this product would preform. I had never used a shampoo bar before. I have very dry long fine hair. A little goes a long way. It foamed up in a great consistency and made my hair feel clean and soft. Gentle yet effective. Great for travel and great for the environment. Smells great and made my hair look (shiny) and feel great.
I came back for more because I
love how it makes my hair feel. It controls frizz and also makes it feel soft. I was afraid if I didn’t stock up a little I would run out .
