I’m sure you’ve heard of the no-poo method of shampooing – wash with baking soda and water, rinse with apple cider vinegar. I’ve heard that for some people it takes an adjustment period where their hair is greasy, but I tried it for a month and it worked perfectly, right from the start.
But, oh, I admit it. I really missed suds. Homemade shampoo bars to the rescue!
So I Decided to Make Shampoo Bars
My shampoo bars are nice and sudsy and contain rosemary oil which is purported to have a number of benefits and smells so fantastic. Rosemary:
- stimulates circulation to the scalp
- is anti-bacterial
- makes hair shiny
- helps to stop hair loss
- stimulates hair growth
- treats dandruff
- soothes itchy scalp
- darkens hair
- and is good for all hair types
Two added benefits of this soap – I find that I do not need conditioner when I use this shampoo bar because of the jojoba oil, and it makes a great body bar as well. So, I hop in the shower and use the same bar to shampoo, condition, and wash.

Rosemary Water Hair Rinse for Hair Growth from Simply Beyond Herbs
DIY Shampoo Bars
Ingredients
- 13.2 ounces distilled water
- 5.78 ounces lye
- 18 ounces coconut oil
- 10 ounces castor oil
- 8 ounces olive oil
- 4 ounces jojoba oil
- .5 ounce rosemary essential oil
Instructions
- Fill your sink with cold water and some ice to use as a water bath to cool the lye mixture.
- Wearing your rubber gloves, place the water into your pitcher and slowly stir in the lye. Do this outdoors if possible. Stir slowly until dissolved. The temperature will rise very quickly to 220°F or so.
- Now place the pitcher into the cold water bath in your sink and begin to take its temperature. The goal is 100°F .
- Place the oils into your pot and heat at a low temperature trying to reach 100°F . This will happen quickly. You now want to get both the lye and the oil to 100 degrees at the same time. Use the ice water bath to accomplish this.
- When both the lye and the oils are at 100°F, pour the lye mixture into the oil mixture very slowly. Continue stirring until the mixture reaches a point called “trace”. The soap is traced when your stirring causes lines in the mixture that stay in place or when a drizzle of the soap mixture retains it shape on the surface of the soap.
- If trace is taking over 15 minutes, you may take breaks in stirring – stir for 10 minutes and rest for 10 minutes.
- When the soap reaches trace, add the rosemary essential oil and stir it in thoroughly.
- At trace, pour your soap into prepared molds.
- Cover with cardboard and then wrap in a blanket to hold the heat. You want your soap to cool slowly. You may remove the blanket after the first day, but the soap itself may take several days to harden. When it feels solid, you may cut the soap into bars and un-mold it.
- The soap is still very alkaline and should not be used until it has cured for 2–4 weeks.

hola, may God bless you too. i will like to try the shampoo bar recipe.
annie @ montanasolarcreations says
Thanks for sharing this recipe, this is definitely something I want to try and I’m pinning it 🙂
Anne-Marie Bilella says
Yay! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I asked my soap-making friend to make me a shampoo bar and now can give her your recipe but without the rosemary. Don’t want darker hair. Would like to add peppermint 🙂
Heather May says
I am certainly going to make this! I recently began making my own cleaning supplies so why not shampoo! Thanks for the recipe! I am having a linky party tomorrow at my site http://www.frugalfitfamily.com tomorrow! Link in if you have a chance! I found you from Thank your body thursday!
Becky says
I wonder if you could make this as a liquid and leave out the lye.
Susan says
Leaving out the lye will just leave you will oils which will not clean your hair. It’s the chemical reaction between the oils and the lye that create soap. After the chemical reaction occurs, no more lye is left. A different type of lye is used for liquid soaps.
Janet says
If you left out the lye, you’d have a bunch of oil in a bottle. The lye makes the soap, soap. And its safer than the stuff we buy in stores.
Bigg Sis says
I confess that I have been hesitant to try the no-poo method because of the loss of suds! You’ve got a wonderful solution here – thanks!
mbhart says
I make our Shampoo bars with primarily Coconut oil and 10% Shea butter. The extra coconut oil makes the shampoo bar very sudsy. My husband loves it too.
Mon says
And no palm oil?
mbhart says
Yes no palm oil. It is a lovely shampoo bar
Sabrina S. says
What percentage do you super fat?
Jenny says
Ya know I’ve seen the posts about not using shampoo, but I…don’t know. I really like my lather too. It just somehow feels clean. I am hoping to learn how to make soap someday soon, so we may decide to give it a try. Thanks so much for sharing at the HomeAcre Hop! Hope to see you again tomorrow evening: http://blackfoxhomestead.com/the-homeacre-hop/

Anjanette says
I just starting using shampoo bars instead of no-poo! the baking soda was just too harsh for me. After about 5 months, my scalp felt raw. I love with shampoo bars that I can often just water-wash every other time. They last forever!!
Hannah says
I have been no poo for well over a year, but this looks like a great alternative!
Thanks for sharing with us! I hope you stop by again next week at Eco-Kids Tuesday!
Lori @ Our Heritage of Health says
I love shampoo bars, and that’s awesome that your recipe can serve double duty as a body bar too! That’s really convenient, especially for traveling. It’s a lot easier bring a bar of soap in your suitcase than it is to try to bring a no-poo baking soda and vinegar concoction!
Thanks for sharing with Old-Fashioned Friday! 🙂
Lisa Lynn says
These sound great! Congrats on your feature on Wildcrafting Wednesday!
Kristel from Healthy Frugalista says
I concur on the properties of rosemary you listed. I had some sort of itchy scalp issue a few years ago that was making my hair fall out (over 100 strands every shampoo- yes I actually counted them). I began using a rosemary shampoo bar and it reduced my hair loss significantly, even the first time I used it. It also soothed the itchiness. The only thing I didn’t like was that it darkened my hair…I considered my self blonde, but not so much anymore.
I’ll try making soap someday and I’m really glad you posted your recipe. It’s on my to-do list!
Susan says
That’s so great to hear, Kristel! I’m hoping it may darken my gray hair!!
Radishgirl Thymes says
Thanks for sharing this great recipe!!
Dada Drew says
My wife does the baking soda and vinegar method. I on the other hand use goat’s milk soap for my hair. It is hard for me to find soap that doesn’t bother my eczema but, goat’s milk soap seems to do pretty well.

PAT says
I’ve been looking at apple cider vinegar shampoo bars. Do you have any info on how to add ACV to a shampoo bar?
Thanks!
Susan says
I’m afraid that I don’t have any experience with that.
SarahTH says
I believe the ACV will cancel out the lye and oil soaping process and make a big useless glob. The lye/oil is alkaline and the ACV is acidic, they will cancel each other out. Just like you cant’ add citric acid to bar soap. You can add citric acid to liquid soap but only after the saponification process is done because it would cancel out the soap creating process if you added it ahead of time.
Michele says
I’ve made shampoo bars substituting all my water, using ACV instead with good results. I have to admit that with my first attempt I was unsure as to what the outcome would be— a gloopy mess or success. I was quite pleased!! While it is difficult to get an “accurate” pH reading of bar soap since pH is a measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous (water) solution, my shampoo bars with 100% ACV (rather than distilled water) lowers the pH of my soap 1 full point—8.5 vs 9.5. While some of my soaps made with milk‘s show to be 9.25 using my digital pH meter most soaps made with only distilled water yelled a 9.5.
I hope this is useful for anyone thinking about using AVC instead of distilled water.
Whether I use my homemade soap with a 9.5 pH or an 8.5 pH I will say is that they are both more gentle on my skin than commercial brands soaps which I had quit using in my mid teens— hated the film left behind on my skin. My DEAR 92-year-old aunt even commented on the gentleness of the soaps I had given her and asked if she could use them as “facial soaps” due to their mildness and creamy lather.
Susan Vinskofski says
Amazing, Michele! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Sonam says
Hi
Can we make this shampoo bar with glycerine melt n pour base? If so how to adjust the quantity of the ingredients plz – I want to try this esp to darken my hair and for my daughter who is suffering from dandruff
Sarah says
This is going to make great homemade Christmas gifts! How many bars does the recipe yield?
Susan says
Hi Sarah! The recipe makes approximately 20 bars, depending on how large you cut them, of course.
Sarah says
Fabulous! Thank you 🙂
The Typist says
Do not use palm oil ever. It destroys orangutangs because of the forresting. Use an alternative.
Susan says
Bramble Berry, my source for palm oil says “In keeping with our social and ethical responsibility goals, our Palm oil supplier is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), an organization that supports sustainable palm oil production. ” I sure do appreciate your concern; thanks for stopping by.
SarahTH says
I just read today that in order to get Emu oil you have to kill the Emu? It’s not something I will ever purchase.
Paula Weisman says
Can we leave out the palm oil? And/or the castor oil?
Thanks
Susan says
You would have to substitute with another appropriate oil, Paula, to correctly balance the lye. You cannot just leave them out.
Heather says
Is Palm oil a liquid? Where can I find it and what will it look like? I have never used it before. Also, do have a link for where you buy lye? Thank yo so much. I am looking forward to trying this.
Susan says
Palm oil is solid, like coconut oil, unless it is kept in a warm place. Bramble Berry is a good source for soap making supplies:

Siloé says
Firstly, thank you for sharing your experience and recipe.
I want to give this recipe a try. When running this recipe in the soaping calculator, it´s giving me a 2% superfat; is this correct? At a low 2%, it might work for a shampoo but not sure if it´s too drying for the scalp. BTW, do you use the vinegar rinse afterwards?
Susan says
Hi Siloe! Thank you for visiting. I find the recipe very emollient and not at all drying; I don’t rinse w/vinegar, nor do I need conditioner w/this shampoo. Let me know if you try it and what you think.
Marisa says
Is the rosemary oil you use in this recipe rosemary essential oil? Thanks!
Susan says
Hi Marisa!y Yes that’s correct.
Kim says
I am confused on what kind of Lye do you buy? Where do you buy yours and what is the brand? I read somewhere you can buy Lye at Lowes, but not sure if that is correct or not. I was looking on Amazon and there are so many choices. I wasn’t sure which brand or kind is the best. Thanks for your input! I am really looking forward to trying to make these.
Susan says
Hi Kim, the brand does not matter. I often purchase on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=lye&linkCode=ur2&tag=learningandye-20&url=search-alias%3Daps
As long as it is sodium hydroxide and no other ingredient, it will be fine.
Kim says
Great!! Thanks. 🙂 I am looking forward to making these. Thank you for helping and responding so fast!
Alicia says
Hi there, unfortunately, truly sustainable palm oil is not available to me here in Australia (sure it’s organic, and they pay the farmers well, but the deforestation/habitat issue still stands). I was reading that I could use tallow as a replacement? They said to run the recipe through a lye calculator…which I tried, but ended up getting terribly confused (I’m new to all this soap making awesomeness!). Would the lye amount be effected? Would it be a 1:1 swap? Is rendered pig lard a substitute?
Susan says
Hi Alicia, Yes, you may use tallow as a substitute. This will make a slightly harder soap, but that’s ok. Use the same amount of tallow (or lard) as palm oil, but change the amount of lye to 5.4 ounces.
Nina says
Hi there,
Id love to try this recipe, also with a lot of people I try my best not to use palm oil. Do you think it would be good to substitute the palm oil with adding more coconut oil instead? Or would that be too hard / dry? Thanks!
Susan says
Hi Nina, are you willing to use palm oil if the source is sustainable? Here’s where I get mine: http://www.brambleberry.com/Palm-Oil-P3210.aspx. Tallow would be the best substitute for palm oil. If you do make substitutions, whether coconut oil, or tallow, use a lye calculator to be sure you are using the proper amount. Changing oils can change the amount of lye.
Mary says
I love your recipe. Do you think I can do a distill water infusion with half and half of rosemary and sage? Also should I use extra virgin Olive Oil, or just virgin or regular OO?
This would be the first time I make soap, so I’m pretty ignorant but I am learning from reading different sites. I would appreciate your comment.
I tried using the calculator but I was not sure we’re the rosemary oil went and it told me it was not safe.
So would this be ok:
15 oz infused distilled water
5.4 oz Lye
12 oz Coconut Oil
6 oz Lard
10 oz Castor Oil
8 oz virgin Olive Oil ( or just Olive Oil?)
4 oz Jojoba oil
0.5 oz Rosemary essential oil
Please let me know what you think. Can wait to do this. I have all the ingredients.
Thank you
Susan says
Hi Mary, here’s what I came up with using those oils:
Castor Oil 10.00oz
Coconut Oil (Virgin) 12.00oz
Jojoba Oil 4.00oz
Lard 6.00oz
Olive Oil 8.00oz
4% Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) Amount 5.436oz
Ounces of liquid recommended 13.20oz
Yields 58.64oz
Yes, it’s fine if the water is infused with the herbs. The rosemary oil is added at trace, so it’s not calculated in with the other oils.
Have fun!
Monica says
Could it be possible to leave out the palm oil? I just refuse to use an oil that comes from such destructive practices. What would you substitute it with?
Susan Vinskofski says
Monica, I certainly understand your concern. There are sustainable sources of palm oil, such as Mountain Rose Herbs. From their website: “Mountain Rose Herbs will only support palm oil programs which adhere to strict environmental sustainability programs. As is our standard, the harvester and manufacturer of the palm oil we offer adheres to highly detailed sustainable harvesting protocols with oversight from state and third party environmental programs including EcoSocial, and with the assistance of the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil.” You can find their palm oil here: http://edge.affiliateshop.com/public/AIDLink?AID=134882&Redirect=/products/palm-kernel-oil/profile
Mary says
I’ll let you know how it turns out in a few weeks. I can’t wait, I do appreciate your help and I love your site.
Thank you
Susan says
Thanks, Mary!
Kayla says
Hi Susan,
Thank you for posting this, I am trying to move to be more organic and live sustainably :). What essential oil could we use instead of rosemary? I do not wish my hair to darken, but I do not know what a good replacement would be that wouldn’t dry my hair or discolor or make it fall out?
Thanks for your help!
Susan says
Hi Kayla, you don’t HAVE to put any essential oil at all, but lavender or lemon are good for all hair types. 🙂
Kayla says
Thanks, Susan! About how much shampoo does this yield? I am a college student and have to crunch numbers 🙂
Susan says
Well, I’ve never weighed the shampoo bars after making them. I usually get about 15 – 20 bars, depending on how I cut them. Make sure that you don’t leave the bars sitting in water after using them. They’ll just melt away, and who can afford that?!
Catena says
Was wondering if you have to allow this to cure and for how long?
I was going to make these for Christmas presents, but I’ve only got 5 days! (My middle name is procrastinate)
Susan says
Unfortunately, yes, these need to cure for several weeks. Perhaps you could include a note explaining to the recipient that they shouldn’t be used right away. Oh, and we have the same middle name!
Marisa says
Thanks for this post! I adore JR Liggett’s shampoo bars, and I would LOVE to make my own. I have all the ingredients for this recipe except for the palm oil. Do you think I could leave that out and do 18 oz. of coconut oil instead? Thanks for the advice! 🙂
Susan says
Hi Marisa, if you use 18 oz of coconut oil and no palm oil, change the distilled water to 13.2 oz and the lye to 6.874oz.
Izzy says
Could I make this recipe using the hot process method?
Susan Vinskofski says
Hi Izzy, I’m afraid that I have no experience with the hot process method, so I wouldn’t be able to advise you.
Shawn says
Hi, I’m eager to try this but I’m totally new to soap making.
As I’m living in Malaysia which is hot & humid all year round, so the oils is always in liquid state. Do I use the same amount liquid oils as in per your recipe? Can I divide the recipe in half? I wanna try if it’s suitable for me before making a big batch.
Thanks 🙂
Susan Vinskofski says
Hi Shawn, just be sure to weigh each oil on a scale – it doesn’t matter if they are liquid or solid. I’ve never divided the recipe in half, but I don’t see that causing a problem. Enjoy!
Shawn says
Thanks a lot 🙂
Jackie says
Hello, I resized your recipe above to fit my tiny mold for a test batch (13oz of oils) at 3% superfat and gave it a shot. After 24 hours in the mold, the shampoo bars were really oily, and when I um-molded them they slipped right out of the mold due to the excess oil! I’ve been letting them cure for 3 weeks now they’ve firmed up and seem to have absorbed the excess oil. I gave one a try washing my hands this week and they are suspiciously moisturizing. 😉 I plan to let them sit out and cure for another 3 weeks, but are your shampoo bars this “moisturizing” as well? I’ve never made a bar with such a high amount of castor oil, so I’m not sure if this is normal for this type of soap or if I botched my recipe somewhere! I’m afraid to test washing my hair with my bars, and winding up with an oily mess.. Here’s the recipe I did:
3.9 oz coconut oil
2.0 oz palm oil
3.3 oz castor oil
2.6 oz olive oil
1.2 oz jojoba oil
1.8 oz lye
4.3 oz water
Any ideas? Thanks!
Susan Vinskofski says
Hi Jackie! I’ve used this recipe many, many times and I’ve never had the problem that you’ve experienced. Proportionally, my recipe has just a slightly more coconut oil and lye than yours, but it seems so small that I don’t know that it would cause the problem. I certainly hope that after more curing you end up with a wonderful shampoo bar.
Jessica says
Hi Susan. It’s Jess from Grash Fred. I really want to try this shampoo bar and was wondering if you have an extra one that I could trade you something for (Whey::)). Want to try it out before I commit to all the ingredients and process.
Susan Vinskofski says
Hi Jessica! Yes, sort of. 🙂 The bar I have on hand is just slightly different. It contains some tallow and some tea tree. Will that work? I’m due to make soap soon, so if you prefer this exact recipe I can make that if you don’t mind waiting a little.
christan says
Have 2questions. .. can I sub the water for goats milk? And what can I use in pmace of jojoba oil , only because I want to make it today and I am out of it. Thanks for sharing…
Susan Vinskofski says
Hi Christian, yes, goat’s milk may be used instead of water, but that may change the amount of lye needed. I would probably substitute more coconut oil for the jojoba. Again, the lye amount would need to be adjusted. Put all your ingredients into a lye calculator to find how much lye you will need.
SalLy Pavese says
None just like reading about soap making
cjtuschen@yahoo.com says
I was wondering how many bars of soap you get out of this recipe? About how big are your bars in oz.? Thanks
Susan Vinskofski says
I’ve never actually weighed the bars, but based on the ingredients, I would estimate that I get twelve 5 ounce bars. Hope that helps.
Cheryl Cesario says
Just curious, why does the Rosemary darken the hair and if you stop using it will it change back to normal color?
Susan Vinskofski says
Hi Cheryl! It is my understanding that rosemary is a very mild dye, so as such your hair color would change back after you stop using it. If you want to darken your hair, a strong rosemary infusion used several times a week would be more effective than the little bit of rosemary in my shampoo recipe. Thanks for stopping by!
Phyllis Williams says
Is there a chance you sell this already made?
Susan Vinskofski says
I’m sorry, Phyllis, I don’t. People ask me all the time, but I can’t seem to keep up with what I need for my family, so there’s never extra to sell.
Rebecca says
So i’m not above making an investment but I am on a tight budget so my question is how much does this recipe make, and how long does a bar usually last? I have long to my waist hair, and currently use Paul Mitchell’s tea tree shampoo, its pricey, but lasts a long time for me. I’d like a similar situation but in a more portable form.
Susan Vinskofski says
Rebecca, the recipe makes approximately 20 small bars. The bars are on the soft side which means that they melt away rather quickly if you are not careful to keep them out of water when not in use. Thanks for stopping by!
Claudia says
Are you in a hard water area ? How could I change this recipe so it would be suitable for hard water ? Can I change almond for palm or dosnt it work like that ?
Thank you sorry for so many questions, cant beleive noone asked what sort of water you have is all America the same water type ? Oops another question.
Susan Vinskofski says
Thanks for stopping by, Claudia. That’s why it’s important to use distilled water in the recipe. Different areas in the U.S. definitely have varying types of water. Different oils have different qualities and need specific amounts of lye so no, you cannot just swap one oil for another.
Karen says
If this question has been asked and answered please forgive me for asking again. I was wondering if you know what the pH level of your soap recipe is?
I scrolled through some of the comments but so far I didn’t see anyone who asked that question. I’m sorry this is so long I just want to explain the problems I’ve been having with my hair and why I need to find a good pH balanced recipe with a lot of slip.
I need to be especially careful of the pH levels because last year in May I had my hair dyed at a local professional salon the hair dresser was supposed to touch up the gray going as close to my natural color as possible. I have never lightened my hair and never wanted too, whatever she used lightened my hair and severely damaged my hairs cuticle. It is now very porous and most of the damage was at the top of my head where the dye was the longest. In November I cut 8 inches off but that was actually the healthy hair now my hair is shorter than it has been in years. But I can’t cut anymore I’ve always worn my hair long around bra strap level or a little longer and the few times in my life when I cut it a little shorter I’ve felt naked and exposed not like myself. It will take years for the damaged area to grow out and I to find something with a low pH that isn’t going to open up the cuticle too much that also provides good slip because if it doesn’t have enough slip with all this damage it gets tangled and breaks very easily .
Before this happened I used an Organic shampoo which was probably only about 70% organic but it worked well but since I’ve had the damage it does provide enough slip for me to be able to work it through my hair well. After years of staying away from certain chemicals and silicones out of desperation I asked my previous hair dresser not the one who damaged my hair for suggestions. When I first moved she had changed salons and I didn’t know where she was otherwise I would have gone to her and not had the damage the towns are only a ½ hour apart. She suggested Paul Mitchel Awapuhi and Wild Ginger. That had a lot of things in it I wouldn’t normally use including silicone but I tried a lot of different “organic products” and wasn’t having a lot of luck the ones that had enough slip to easily work through my hair weighed it down and it didn’t look clean . I have to be careful what I use because I do have some chemical sensitives especially to fragrances even some of the natural one like lavender oil makes me sick. I did end up trying her suggestion the first time I used it my hair felt and looked a lot better you could barely tell it was damaged but after that it felt worse to me and I really don’t want to be using silicones or polymers on my hair or body.
I use Organic coconut oil for a deep conditioner and leave it on overnight once a week and that seems to help a little. But now I need to find a homemade shampoo recipe, I’ve heard that Honey and Organic Aloe Vera gel works well for some people and it is supposed to be pH balanced I think I’ll need to invest in some pH testing strips if I make my own shampoo. Thank you a head of time for any suggestions you may have.
Karen
Susan Vinskofski says
Karen, I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I am sorry to say that no, I do not know the ph of this recipe. I wish I could help, but I really don’t have any useful information. I hope you can find what you need soon.
Jessica says
This is great. Thanks so much! I’ve tried the no poo method and my hair felt really gross and missed the suds! I just don’t feel clean without them.
Kelley says
Hi,
I am wondering if you can use argan oil instead of jojoba oil in your recipe.
Susan Vinskofski says
Hi Kelley, I have no experience with argan oil so I’m not sure if the properties are similar to jojoba. In addition, you would have to run the ingredients through a lye calculator to see if the lye amount would change if using argan rather than jojoba. I hope that helps.
Laura says
I love the J. R. Liggett’s shampoo bar, but it’s very hard to find at a decent price around here. So, I want to make a shampoo bar that’s just like, or very similar to, J. R. Liggett’s. I have never made soap before though; I hope I can succeed with your shampoo bar recipe. Thank you for sharing, and especially for making it seem simple. Yah bless you and yours ?
Susan Vinskofski says
You’re very welcome! Just take your time and follow instructions and you should do just fine.
