This link: http://amzn.to/2avzOZ1 has another shampoo bar that does not have any fragrance so it might work better for you.

I use only unscented soaps. Good for the environment and breathing too. Are those shampoo bars fragrance free? Stopping on by to link up my post, Colors of Joy Among Top Self-help Books for Women. Hope my list of all-time favorite self-help books entertains and encourages interest for you.

Thanks for joining me on my journey. I have always had an eye towards trying to do good for the environment, but it has been very short that I am trying to live more zero waste.SkipTheBaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426786864856395559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882959808811184859.post-3375317831362354972016-06-25T11:16:05.865-05:002016-06-25T11:16:05.865-05:00I have also bought quite a few bars of "La Ma...I have also bought quite a few bars of "La Maison" sea salt soap formulations which I first bought at around $5 per bar at a Koreatown grocery store but later found for only $1.99 at a local Marshalls discount department store. The company is out of New York but the soap is really made in France.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the soaps I bought were wrapped in plastic but they do last a really long time. When I talked to one of their reps over the phone she said the owner had no plans to switch off plastic wrapping but I was talking to her during the middle of their huge snow storm, she sounded stressed out and defensive, and I hadn't contacted the owner to explain the Zero Waste situation to him.<br /><br />Right now, this company is low priority for me since I'm fairly happy with Soapbox company and all their soaps are made in the USA.Joo Mihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290009208909543649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882959808811184859.post-65367035802210855602016-06-25T11:09:54.710-05:002016-06-25T11:09:54.710-05:00In how many days do you fill up your stainless ste...In how many days do you fill up your stainless steel composter? It looks rather small, around 1 gallon or so. How did you find out about the Zero Waste Movement and how long have you been consciously trying to live Zero Waste style?Joo Mihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290009208909543649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882959808811184859.post-46393747353179121802016-06-25T11:07:25.571-05:002016-06-25T11:07:25.571-05:00I've tried different soap companies including ...I've tried different soap companies including Sappo Hill and Soapbox and am currently sticking to Soapbox (PETA friendly, recycled cardboard boxes, they donate 1 bar of soap to needy children for every bar of soap you buy, USA company, etc.) I just use their regular bar soaps for shampooing my hair. You can sometimes find their discontinued formulations at discount stores like Ross Dress For Less, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and so forth.<br /><br />Cici is my "go to" girl at the Soapbox company.Joo Mihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290009208909543649noreply@blogger.com
