Why are Motive bars better than traditional shampoo?

Traditional shampoo is largely water and harsh detergents that aren’t pH balanced to your scalp. One Motive bar saves three to four plastic bottles from ending up in landfills, is pH balanced to be healthy for your scalp and hair, and contains ingredients that are kindly borrowed from the earth and kindly return to it. Motive bars can be tossed in your carry-on and are far easier to travel with. And last but not least, your purchase supports a small business owned by two women on a mission to use this business to empower and employ their local refugee community.

Why are Motive bars better than other shampoo bars?

When we started this company, we knew we could do better than the competition. Not only in form, but in function. Our shampoo bars’ unique shape functions as their own soap lift when stored upright in their “x” shape. Unlike many of our competitors, each Motive bar is pH balanced so that it is not only healthy for the environment but also sustainably healthy for your scalp and hair. When you purchase a Motive bar, you invest in our vision of empowering and employing refugees in our community. Every purchase gets us closer to this goal.

How are Motive bars good for the environment?

Our plant based ingredients are sustainably sourced and water soluble. Meaning, they’re kindly borrowed from the earth and kindly return to it. When you choose Motive over traditional shampoo, you’re opting out of single-use plastics and saving roughly three to four plastic bottles from ending up in our landfills and oceans.

How many plastic bottles does one Motive bar save from a landfill?

Let’s walk through this together - It’s estimated that you get two washes per ounce of traditional liquid shampoo. On average, non-bulk bottled shampoo is sold in ~13 oz bottles (that’s 26 washes). Since our shampoo bars last up to 80-100 washes on average, that means one Motive bar can save roughly three to four 13 oz plastic bottles from ending up in our landfills and oceans.

Are Motive bars plant based and vegan?

You betcha!

My experience with shampoo bars in the past hasn’t been the best…

Neither has ours. In the past, other shampoo bars have left our hair dry or sticky or just plain sad. That’s why we started this company - we knew we could do better. Try out Motive bars and you can see the difference for yourself. pH balanced, moisturizing, healthy for you and the earth, aesthetic, and no need for any silly acid washes.
