Read our deep dive into the ingredients of both our liquid shampoo and conditioner!

To Use

Shampoo: Make sure your hair is thoroughly wet. Apply a small amount of shampoo into your hands, and rub your hands together until the shampoo has begun to lather. Gently massage the lather into hair, focusing especially on your scalp and roots. Rinse clean.

A note from Krystina: I’ve been using this liquid shampoo for years now, and it does take some getting used to at first but once I got the hang of it, it’s done absolute wonders for my hair and scalp. I have fine, thin, straight hair that gets oily almost immediately. I’ve found that double shampooing is the secret no one is talking about! (Apparently there’s actually something to the whole “lather, rinse, repeat” thing…) The first shampoo barely lathers, as it’s just breaking up the dirt and oils, and the second has the most luxurious lather and really does the cleansing. With this method, for the first time in my life I’m able to go 2-3 days between washes and my hair has never been happier. Give it a chance - this stuff works.

Conditioner: After shampooing, apply a small amount of conditioner into your hands, and apply the conditioner evenly to your hair, focusing on the ends. Run your fingers through your ends to detangle and work in the conditioner. For a little deeper conditioning, let sit on your hair for a few minutes. Rinse clean.

Packaging + End of Life

Our all-natural refillable liquid shampoo and conditioner are packaged in aluminum bottles with white plastic pumps.

When you’re running low, order another bundle here, but select “Refills.” We’ll ship your new bottles without pumps - just with aluminum caps - and we’ll include a return label for your empty ones so you can send them back at no cost. Simply transfer your pumps to the new bottles, pack the empty bottles in the box, and send them back to us. We’ll sanitize and reuse the bottles.

(If you're within our local delivery radius, just leave your empty bottles on your porch on delivery day - but be sure to keep the pumps!)

Upgrading from 8oz to 16oz bottles? Select the “New Bottles” option so we include new pumps as well!
Don’t want the pumps? Just choose the “Refills” option instead!

🌎 You care about the planet. So do we.

Look. I get it. It’s HARD to be an EcoWarrior. Someone who cares about the planet and wants the most sustainable products available - from the ingredients to the packaging to the way that product gets to your hands.

It seems like everywhere we turn, someone, somewhere, is greenwashing us.

But our superpower at A Drop in the Ocean is sorting through the BS, calling it out, and making sure our products are the absolute most sustainable and truly zero waste products we can find.

So on top of all the things we mentioned above about what makes our all-natural refillable liquid shampoo and conditioner so sustainable, here’s a few other things you should know:

  • We’re actually practicing what we preach behind the scenes. In 2022, we saved all of our trash for four months, and wrote a whole blog post on it. The tl;dr version is this: in four months, we only produced two pounds of trash. Everything from the packaging our products come in down to the Sharpie we use to write “Fragile” on your box is zero waste to its core.
  • We’re an online-only zero waste store - which is highly intentional. It may seem counter-intuitive, but online shopping is actually more sustainable than in-person. I’m a data nerd at heart and I love diving into the research, and there are countless studies that have shown that online shopping is the most sustainable way to get your everyday essentials. Don’t believe me? Check out our whole blog post on the sustainability of online shopping.
  • We ship ugly boxes. Your order from A Drop in the Ocean is not going to arrive in a pretty, branded box. It’s gonna show up in a reused tea box, or a donated Amazon box, or maybe even an inside-out Girl Scout Cookies box. All of our shipping materials are always 100% plastic-free and reused as much as possible, with curbside-recyclable paper tape and a post-consumer recycled paper shipping label. It won’t be pretty, but it will be zero waste.

Got more questions about our zero waste products or our practices behind the scenes? Just send us an email! I’m always happy to chat all things eco.

I stumbled across A Drop in the Ocean on my quest to reduce our family's plastic use. I have a small family and live in a rural area with only a few big box stores and zero plastic recycling options. Finding plastic free items locally can be a challenge. I was thrilled to find a shop in my home state that would reuse returned glass and aluminum bottles. I'm a repeat customer as the products are excellent and the shop owner makes it super simple to return our used bottles by mail.

Really want to love this..

I really want to love this product. I think it's great for trying to reduce waste and I love that idea, but the conditioner itself isn't working well for me. It smells great and I like that it doesn't contain harmful chemicals, but I have to use so much, and even then, I don't notice any detangling properties. I *think* it's moisturizing my hair, but I have to use a lot of my leave-in conditioner (not A Drop in the Ocean product) in order to actually comb through my hair. For reference, I have fine, wavy, collarbone length hair and I live in a dry climate. I really hope I learn to love the product or see some improvements to the formula.

A Drop in the Ocean

I'm so sorry to hear the conditioner isn't working out for you, Rileigh! I also have fine hair, about chest-length, and ~love~ the way this conditioner works for my hair (although mine is straight, not wavy, so I can't speak personally to how that might affect how well it works). When I use the conditioner, I get about a quarter-size amount on my hands, lather it up a little bit, and then gently run my fingers through the ends of my hair until its fully coated and smooth and detangled. Then I let it sit and wash my face/shave my legs/do something else to let the conditioner sit for a minute or two, then rinse it out. Is this the same way you're applying it? I wanna help troubleshoot before we write it off as not a good fit for your hair because I love it so much! Krystina

Just as good

Just as good as store-bought conditioner, if not better. Especially because of the values and sustainable practices used :)
