During a lunch with good friends, the conversation drifted—as it often does with people who care—toward sustainable living. One of us mentioned shampoo bars, and in that moment, a small product recommendation turned into something bigger. A friend raved about her go-to brand: HappySoaps, a Dutch company creating 100% plastic-free shampoo bars. And, as it turns out, she had been introduced to them by another friend.

That kind of chain reaction is exactly what we love at FutureFirst—people passing on eco-friendly alternatives, peer to peer. So we took a closer look.

💚 What Makes HappySoaps Special?

HappySoaps is on a mission we align with: plastic-free, palm oil-free, vegan, and effective. All their shampoo bars are handmade in the Netherlands and come in fully biodegradable packaging. No unnecessary waste, no greenwashing.

Key reasons we love them:

• Plastic-Free: No plastic bottles, ever. One bar replaces 3 standard shampoo bottles.

• Palm Oil-Free: Protects rainforests and supports better agricultural practices.

• Vegan & Cruelty-Free: No animal testing or animal-derived ingredients.

• Nourishing Naturals: Each bar is packed with active botanical ingredients.

🧪 What’s Inside?

HappySoaps shampoo bars feature thoughtfully selected natural ingredients like:

• Shea Butter – For moisture and softness.

• Argan Oil – Adds shine and helps strengthen hair.

• Aloe Vera – Soothes the scalp and reduces dryness.

• Coconut Oil – Gently cleanses without stripping natural oils.

• Quinoa Protein – Strengthens strands and protects against damage.

Importantly, these bars are free from SLS, SLES, parabens, microplastics, and synthetic nasties. That means they’re not just safe for you—they’re safe for waterways and wildlife too.

🌟 What People Say

HappySoaps is one of those brands that builds buzz organically. Here’s what one user shared:

“Incredibly nice product. I run the shampoo bar through my hair, which gives you a lot of foam. Good at massaging and cleansing.”

Many reviewers mention how surprised they were by the lather, scent, and how long the bars last. Scents like Aloë You Vera Much and Lavender Fields are especially popular for their soothing aromas and performance.

🌍 The Bigger Picture

HappySoaps is more than a great shampoo—it’s a simple switch with meaningful impact. Choosing bars over bottles means less plastic in oceans and landfills, fewer chemicals in our water, and a more conscious daily routine. That’s the kind of small step that multiplies.
