Our Coottie shampoo is an all natural treatment to assist in the control of head lice. It is mild enough to use daily during an infestation.

Just think no more nasty chemicals or complaining children.

Four individual bars allow for each family member to have a personal bar.

A blend of lavender, bergamot and lemon essential oils in an all natural castile shampoo will leave your hair soft and fresh.

Our grandchildren coined the name "cootties" believing it was better and more genteel than "mum I've got head lice again.

.Mild Castile Shampoo is actually better for your hair than detergent shampoos because it doesn't eat away the hair, but you need to use an acidic vinegar rinse afterwards to make the hair look shiny. Detergents in shampoos slowly dissolve your hair, reducing the thickness of individual hairs by 60 to 80 per cent in shoulder-length hair. Consequently, hair is about five times thicker on your scalp than at the ends.This is why your hair loses bounce after a few hours - with just a little bit of sweat, your hair isn't strong enough to hold up. So when your hair looks straggly and thin when you don't wash it every day, it is suffering from the condition of hair called 'weathering', which is purely the damaging effect of your shampoo. Also, the follicles dry up and the outer cuticle cells, which should lie over each other, stick out and act as fishing hooks for other hairs so they catch each other up. It's a self-perpetuating problem. Wash your hair and blow it dry and it will stand up beautifully. But within a few hours it will just go flat again.

Castile shampoo.. vinegar rinse and conditioning oil is a much healthier alternative to synthetic detergents and conditioners. There is also anecdotal evidence that premature greying is caused by suppression of melanocyte function by synthetic detergents. Using a Castile soap-based shampoo has been noted to restore colour to greying hair in some cases.Our hair care products are a throwback to an earlier time when synthetic surfactants hadn't been invented and everyone used soap. Back then you had to rinse your hair with stale beer or cider vinegar to make it shiny. Now most shampoos are acid/base modified so that you don't need a rinse. Ours is different. Our Hair Care range is made of natural products and it is ideal for people who want to strengthen and add body to their .hair, while bringing out it's natural shine and softness, yet without exposing their bodies to the dangerous chemicals that are used in most commercial shampoos. This range is especially helpful for people with sensitive and dry skin.

We don't play games about which petrochemical surfactant is good for you - we just don't use them. If you're sick of slowly poisoning yourself and your children, dry scalps, thinning hair or dandruff - throw out your chemical shampoos, stop irritating your scalp and adding to your toxic load - and try our natural hair care range.
