One thing that hasn’t changed over the years is that we’re always looking for ways to make our products better.
We rarely make the same recipe forever. As I learn more about ingredients and soapmaking, I often revisit existing formulas and make small adjustments when I believe they will improve the experience. Every new batch is an opportunity to apply what I’ve learned along the way.
Some of our soap and shampoo bars have been with us for many years, but they haven’t stood still. The bars may carry the same names and look much the same on the outside, but the ones I make today are quite different from the ones I made a decade ago. In terms of texture, longevity, lather, and even how the scent comes through, years of experience have shaped and refined each formula.
Earlier this year, we introduced an updated Meadow shampoo bar with cationic guar gum to improve slip and manageability. After seeing encouraging results, we began testing the same addition in our Pure Unscented Organic shampoo bars and Arctic Rain shampoo bars.
So far, we’re very happy with the results. The updated Pure shampoo bar is available now, and Arctic Rain will follow once our current inventory has sold through.
Most of these changes are subtle. You may not notice them at first glance, but they’re part of our ongoing effort to create soap and shampoo bars that are a little better with every batch.
I hope you’ll enjoy these small improvements. They’re the result of years of testing, learning, and a belief that even a familiar product can always be made a little better.
