The pressurised canisters are also notoriously difficult to recycle. Our powder format eliminates all of this — same oil absorption, zero propellant, reusable glass jar.

Yes — and that's the point. Dry shampoo typically comes in single-use aerosol cans that go straight to landfill. Our glass jar is reusable, returnable and recyclable. Return it to Bare Necessities for a discount on your next order.
