Specs

  • 2 oz glass jar
  • Travel & camping friendly
  • 100% biodegradable ingredients

Directions

1. Sprinkle on roots: Lightly shake a small amount into your palm, or dip brush into powder & tap off excess — then apply onto your roots and oily areas.

2. Massage in: Use fingertips to massage the powder into the scalp to absorb oil.

3. Brush or blend: Brush through or use a makeup brush to blend until invisible.

4. Style as usual: Hair looks refreshed, fuller, and clean — no water needed.

Tip

Use sparingly; a small amount goes a long way.

Most dry shampoos are aerosols filled with synthetic fragrance, propellants, and chemical fillers that irritate the scalp, clog follicles, disrupt the microbiome, and pollute indoor air.

People want to wash less, stay clean, and maintain scalp balance — without exposing themselves to harsh chemicals.

We created a truly natural, non-aerosol alternative: A simple, effective formula using six powerful ingredients that refresh hair, support scalp health, and reduce water use between washes.

Most dry shampoos rely on aerosols, synthetic fillers, and disposable packaging that burden your body and the planet. Ours takes the opposite approach: fewer ingredients, smarter materials, and practices that help restore rather than deplete.

Less waste, lower impact

  • Waterless formula reduces reliance on water-intensive production and helps you shower less, conserving water long-term.
  • Refillable, recyclable glass jar — durable, reusable, and made for repeated lifespan, not single-use disposal.
  • Zero aerosols or propellants — avoiding the greenhouse gases, VOCs, and micro-particle pollution linked to conventional dry shampoo sprays.

Regenerative ingredients

  • Made with six minimally processed plant and earth-based ingredients that return safely to the environment.
  • 100% biodegradable — breaks down naturally without leaving synthetic residues, microplastics, or persistent chemicals.
  • Plant ingredients are used in their whole, active forms, preserving their natural bioactivity rather than depending on isolates, synthetics, or petrochemicals.

Aligned with natural systems

Our approach centers on ingredients and packaging that work with nature, not against it. Clean, simple, unadulterated materials that support your body’s biology and reduce overall ecological load.

Why it’s better for you, and the planet

  • No nasty chemicals, such as parabens, PEGs, BHA, Mineral oils, fragrances.
  • No aerosol or propellants.
  • No synthetic fragrances
  • No cheap fillers.

Yes. The blend of arrowroot, diatomaceous earth, and raw cacao creates a neutral tone that blends well into light, medium, and dark hair. A small amount goes a long way — and using a brush can give even more seamless blending.

Our formula contains only six minimally processed, plant- and earth-based ingredients with no synthetic fragrance, aerosols, or harsh chemicals. Arrowroot and cacao are naturally gentle. If you're highly sensitive to essential oils, spot test first due to the presence of Palo Santo essential oil.

You can use it as often as needed. The lightweight, non-aerosol formula won’t create heavy buildup like conventional dry shampoos. Many people use it several times between washes to extend time between shampoos.

Dry shampoo helps refresh hair, absorb oil, and extend time between washes — but it doesn’t replace washing completely. It’s ideal for travel, camping, busy days, post-workouts, and supporting a balanced scalp while reducing overall water use.

Yes. This is a 2 oz (26 g) powder in a non-aerosol glass jar, so it’s TSA-friendly and can go in your carry-on. Because it’s a dry powder (not a liquid or spray), it travels especially well and won’t pressurize or leak like aerosol cans.

It depends on hair length, thickness, and how much you use each time, but most people get around 60–100 uses from one 2 oz jar with light application to roots only. Using a small amount and applying with a brush can significantly extend how long it lasts.

Used properly, it should not. Arrowroot and diatomaceous earth absorb oil, while raw cacao helps the powder visually blend into a wide range of hair colors. For best results, start with a very small amount, focus on the roots, then massage thoroughly and/or brush through until it disappears.

Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed to protect the natural oils and botanicals. Because it’s a dry, powder-based formula with no added water, it’s very stable and typically stays effective for at least 12–24 months when stored properly.

Our products are formulated and produced in the USA, and we source the highest-quality ingredients from around the world. Because some ingredients and packaging (like glass jars) are imported, we use the compliant statement “Made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients and materials.”

All products are made in small batches at our U.S. facility for purity and freshness. Every ingredient is selected for its effectiveness, not its geography. For more see here.
