Forage Shampoo Bar May Chang
A Fresh, Earth-Friendly Clean for Healthy Hair & Scalp
Step away from wasteful plastic bottles and synthetic suds. The Forage May Chang Shampoo Bar offers a luxurious, planet-friendly way to wash your hair—crafted in small batches in New Zealand using natural, biodegradable ingredients and scented with pure essential oils.
Designed to deliver a thorough yet gentle cleanse, this solid shampoo bar is packed with nourishing plant-based ingredients and a vibrant, citrusy fragrance from May Chang essential oil. It cleanses without stripping your scalp’s natural oils, leaving hair feeling soft, refreshed, and balanced.
Perfect for daily use and suitable for all hair types—especially normal to oily or dull hair—this bar is your new zero-waste shower essential.
Why It Works
Forage’s shampoo bars are carefully formulated with coconut-derived cleansers that produce a rich lather without the use of harsh sulphates like SLS. That means you get the bubbly, satisfying cleanse you’re used to—without the irritation, dryness, or environmental impact.
Added pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol) and cocoa butter help lock in moisture, boost shine, and support scalp health, while May Chang essential oil provides a refreshing aromatic experience with natural antibacterial and balancing properties.
Unlike some natural shampoo bars that can leave hair feeling “coated” or heavy, the Forage bar is pH balanced and rinses clean—making the transition to solid shampoo easy and enjoyable.

Why May Chang?
May Chang (Litsea cubeba) is an uplifting citrus essential oil known for its clarifying and toning properties, both for the skin and the senses. In shampoo, it helps purify the scalp, reduce excess oiliness, and create an energising, spa-like shower experience.
Its antimicrobial nature also supports a healthy scalp environment—ideal for strong, vibrant hair from root to tip.
How to Use It:
-
Wet your hair and the shampoo bar.
-
Rub the bar directly onto your scalp or lather it between your hands, then apply to hair.
-
Massage into your scalp and roots with fingertips to lift dirt and oil.
-
Rinse thoroughly and follow with the Forage May Chang Conditioner Bar for best results.
Allow your bar to dry completely between uses for maximum lifespan.
