Description
Fragrance-free rice water shampoo bar for sensitive, flaky and reactive scalps.
Who it's for: Sensitive, reactive, flaky, dandruff-prone or psoriatic scalps. Anyone who reacts to fragrance, or simply doesn't want any.
What it does: Cleans thoroughly without the two things reactive scalps react to most — sulfates and fragrance.
How it works: The same Longsheng rice water base as every Viori bar, with the fragrance and essential oils removed entirely. Sodium cocoyl isethionate, a coconut-derived cleanser, lifts oil without disturbing the scalp barrier. Aloe and vitamin E calm.
What it feels like: Soft lather, no scent at all — not 'unscented' with a cover fragrance. Scalp feels calm rather than tight.
Scent: None. Nothing added for fragrance.
How to use: Every wash. Pair with the fragrance-free conditioner bar to keep the whole routine scent-free.
Sulfate-free · Paraben-free · Phthalate-free · pH-balanced · Vegan · Cruelty-free · Plastic-free · 100+ washes per bar.
1. Wet hair thoroughly with warm water.
2. Rub the bar between your palms or directly onto your scalp to build a lather.
3. Work the lather through roots and mid-lengths, then smooth down to ends.
4. Rinse completely with cool water to seal the cuticle and lock in shine.
5. Follow with the matching conditioner bar on mid-lengths and ends.
6. Store on a bamboo holder or dry surface between uses.

So happy with using Viori Shampoo bar and Conditioner bars. They have made my hair feel very healthy and smooth! I had some thinning a few years ago after a stressful time. Viori helped repair this.
My hair is soft and shiny since I have been using your product. When drying, it falls right into place due to using Viori shampoo soap . It is also so easy to pack when am travelling….no more bottles that take so much room in my luggage. Viori shampoo soap has been a wonderful discovery and I am just so happy with this product especially that my hair texture is coarse, dry and difficult to manage.
I've been using Viori for awhile now- and it's fantastic every time.
Sometimes I switch to an older shampoo for convenience, and every time I do, the difference is so obvious!
I love my Viori. I don't think my hair has ever been happier!
I’ve been using Viori products for around 5 years, and I’ve loved them from the very beginning. The quality is amazing, and my hair truly enjoys them. I’ve tried almost all of their shampoo bars, and I love every single one.
I love this shampoo! I have used a few different brands of bar shampoo, and a few different scents from this brand. This is by far my favorite. Since I started using it, my hair has more volume, fewer knots, and it has grown so much. I definitely recommend
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SHAMPOO. I’ve been buying it for five years now and it’s my go-to. I have long, fine, oily hair that needs washing every day and I have never used anything that cleans my hair as well as this shampoo does. It leaves my scalp super clean without feeling itchy and doesn’t dry out my ends.
I cannot say enough good things about Viori. I have been using the same conditioner bar and shampoo bar for probably 5+ years and have seen a transformation in the health of my hair. It is soft AND strong, it grows so much quicker than it ever has, no split ends, and my natural curls are happier than they’ve ever been. I am absolutely certain that the conditioner bars and shampoo bars (in tandem with my holistic lifestyle and diet) are what have made my hair the best version of itself. THANK YOU, VIORI!!!!!
I absolutely love the shampoo and conditioner bars. My hair is super soft, shiny and non frizzy. I’ve been using bar soaps for awhile now and I decided to try Viori’s. I’m so happy I did. My hair smells good, feels good and looks fantastic. I love how even after working all day and sweating I can come home and unbraided my hair and it still smells like I just got out of the shower. Highly recommend and can’t wait to try more scents. I have long thin and fine hair.
Really good shampoo! Has a very mild, pleasant smell and lathers perfectly even as a bar. My hair feels softer and cleaner. Giving 4/5 only because I still get some dandruff sometimes, otherwise it's excellent.
First of all, I ordered the Citrus Yao shampoo bar for my oily scalp and oily roots. This was years ago, but I must have had a defective one because I would get white residue on my hair that I had to stop using it.
Fast forward to this year, 2026, I used up the one I bought years ago for washing my hands and starch was showing up on the bar. Anyway, I finished it.
I then bought a newer one to try again. Success!! I think not only the shampoo bar but also the website i proved a lot. There is more information on the website compared to before.
This Citrus Yao shampoo bar for oily scalp and roots is, in my experience, ultra gentle and perfect for me. I finally found my shampoo fit for me.
The videos on how to use the shampoo bar is helpful but I had to watch it several times because I love watching ASMR hair lathers and needed the videos before to learn how to use a shampoo bar. This was my first one.
This shampoo bar is made out of high quality ingredients and so pure and soft. It lathers super good too. I got used to it that I now wet the shampoo bar (after soaking my hair) and rub that sucker (shampoo bar) all over my head until it lathers (very quickly) so well. If it feels a bit dry, I soak my hair a few seconds under the water and then massage it into my scalp really well. The lather feels super super soft and light, fine bubbles. Then I rinse really well before shampooing again. I don't use regular conditioner.
After rinsing on the first time, my scalp and hair feels super soft and silky and a feeling of volume of my hair. Especially when it is dry for a couple or so days.
After my shower, I apply a light (it's a 10 lite brand) of leave-in conditioner at my ends of my hair and use a wide-tooth comb to comb it through from bottom and work my way up. It doesn't leave my scalp and roots greasy. By the way, it helps so much to get rid of tangles and hair fall out (compared to not doing this) by brushing your hair really well before your shower. By doing so, when your hair air dries, it will be so much easier to brush out your hair with much less tangles and hair fall.
If you shower often, your hair might grow because it isn't blocked by dirt, oils, and stuff like that. And it also helps to maintain it healthy too. But you do you.
I've heard some people say these shampoo bars help grow your hair but I think the website doesn't mention that unless they added that in. In my experience, I cannot tell if it's true because to me, my hair looks the same: curly, fine and thin hair. The volume I get from my shampoo bar lasts about two maybe 3 days. But I try to shampoo my scalp and hair as soon as I feel it needs a wash again.
I hope this helps you decide, but this is completely based on my experience. I definitely found my perfect shampoo and it is the very best (and probably the only one) there is available to buy. Oh, and one more thing: one shampoo bar lasts you up to so many washes too, i bought mine on May 2026 and as of currently (Aug 2026) it is still big for more washes. And it lasts longer since I store it in my room on a plastic dish tray to dry.
I hope you enjoy your shampoo bar. :D I almost forgot! On the packaging (it is faint but you can see it under good lighting) there is an expiration date on it when the shampoo bar expires. After that, it gets starchy and bad.
I really like the lather and the fragrance of all your shampoos! It makes my hair feel so soft! I also like not having huge plastic bottles in my shower or garbage can !
Don’t mind my snake pet 😁, but my hair is soft and grew faster than it usually does!! I’m a cosmetologist & barber and would love to sell your products to my clients! I’ve even gifted to family members. It’s way better than the bottled products the industry uses. Get it! You won’t regret it!
I absolutely love the clarifying shampoo bar. My hair feels luxurious, a silky shine ,soft to the touch. This is without using a conditioner bar. I can only imagine how great it will feel and look when I use the shampoo & conditioner, bar together. My hair smells amazing. A delicate citrus scent. I also purchased the strengthening shampoo & conditioner. I can’t wait to use them. Looking forward to the results and will definitely post an update on my hair progress. Thank you Viori for such a great product. Im hooked.
My hair has never felt cleaner or softer, I also get so many compliments on how great it smells; best part is my hairdresser (of 15yrs) cannot believe that I still have such thick long hair for it 53+-year-old woman. She swears that all my peers have to pay good money and extensions for the same results! So thank you ♥
Hands down the best natural shampoo I’ve tried! Probably the best shampoo I’ve ever tried, natural or not! I got my hair curled on a cruise recently, and the hairdresser couldn’t believe I hadn’t had some sort of protein treatment because if how silky and shiny my hair was
I think the packaging is so beautiful even once you simply twist it open! It has a nice natural creamy smell and the design on the top of the soap itself is intricate and pretty. It also lathers nicely.
I’ve been using CITRUS SCENT SHAMPOO + CONDITIONER BARS for OILY HAIR WASH, and I absolutely love it! My only issue is when the shampoo bar starts breaking down and looks like crumbs. I wish there was a way to use it up instead of throwing it away.
I have enjoyed the shampoo bars for 5 years now. This a first for me ,with any shampoo products I would use for a few months than i would notice my hair was dull and flat .. thank you
Love the rice bar ! My scalp hurts with other shampoos . Not with this ! Keeps your hair clean and feeling healthy and growing the way it should . I’m a hair stylist and everyone that I have recommended to use has seen new hair growth in 3 months.
During college I lost a lot of hair due to stress. I tried these shampoo bars and they really helped. It got longer a thicker. I think most impressive is the fact that I bought them in July and I am just now (late dec) needing to replace the shampoo bar. The conditioner is still going. Absolutely recommend. Scent is not chemically or too strong. 10/10!
My hair has been the best it’s ever been since I started using Viori. I absolutely love their products! Even my dogs fur has improved in both shine and softness. I get compliments on my hair all the time. I loose very little hair in the shower now. I grow my hair long so that I can donate to kids that need real hair wigs and this product has made my hair so much better for them. Thank you!
I’m pissed off that I didn’t get this sooner. 😂 I had been wanting to get this for a while and finally got the conditioner bar. I noticed a difference of softness in my hair the first and second day after using it. I decided to get the shampoo bar too. I have only used that one once so far and love the scent. I am looking forward to seeing how that one does after using it for a month or two. Altogether very happy with the quality of ingredients and the foam level of the shampoo bar.
I think my hair has been growing in thicker since I started using Viori products. I like the way my hair feels during and after washing.
Love the price and how healthy it is. So grateful I found this company.
You have done everything right — read every INCI list, avoided sulfates, switched to 'unscented' — and your scalp is still not quiet.
0 1
'Unscented' Still Isn't The Same As No Synthetic Fragrance.
Some drugstore shampoos marketed as unscented may contain masking agents — compounds used to neutralize odor rather than add scent, which don't always appear as 'fragrance' on the label. Your scalp may still find them.
0 2
Medicated Shampoos Can Feel Like A Trade-Off.
The medicated dandruff shampoos that manage flaking often do it aggressively — and for some people, that means a scalp that calms down but hair that feels stripped in the process. You shouldn't have to choose between the two.
0 3
Bar Shampoos Feel Like A Gamble.
The waxy buildup period, the pH uncertainty, the ingredient list that looks short until you realize you don't recognize half of it — switching to a bar feels like a high-stakes experiment when your scalp already has a long memory for bad reactions.
THE ANSWER
One bar. Every ingredient listed.
The Fragrance-Free Rice Water Shampoo Bar is sulfate-free, carries a full INCI list, and hides nothing behind the word "fragrance".
A product can list twenty botanicals and still conceal dozens of undisclosed synthetics behind one word on the label. This bar has no synthetic fragrance, no essential oils, and no masking scent — which means there is nothing in it that a reactive scalp has to argue with. Longsheng rice water still does the work: inositol and fermentation amino acids reach inside the strand, and the gentle surfactant system cleans without stripping the scalp's barrier. It rinses completely clear, so nothing sits on the skin between washes. If you have spent years reading ingredient lists, this is the shortest one we make.
Fermented rice water is rich in amino acids, which are widely used in cosmetic hair care to condition and smooth. They help hair look smoother and feel softer from the first wash, without adding anything scented to react to.*
The cleanser cleans without stripping
The first ingredient is sodium cocoyl isethionate, a mild coconut-derived cleanser (EWG 1) — not a sulfate. It lifts oil and buildup with a soft lather, so hair and scalp feel clean and comfortable instead of tight and squeaky. On a reactive scalp, how gently it cleans matters more than anything else.
Zero Fragrance, Zero Essential Oils
This bar contains zero added fragrance and zero essential oils — no scent profile at all. The only smell is a faint natural earthiness from the raw plant ingredients themselves, and it disappears once hair dries. Many ‘unscented’ or ‘fragrance-free’ formulations use masking agents that may still appear on an INCI list under other names; this formulation lists every ingredient with nothing hidden. For highly reactive skin that has learned to distrust labels, the ingredient list is the proof: no synthetic fragrance compounds, no essential oils, no masking agents. Patch testing is recommended before full use.
Shea butter and jojoba put the softness back
Most fragrance-free, sulfate-free shampoos clean but leave hair dry and straw-like. Shea butter and jojoba oil are plant emollients — jojoba sits close to the scalp's own oils — so they soften and cushion as you wash, and hair dries soft instead of stripped.
From the rice terraces of Longsheng to your shower — the most powerful, clean haircare you have ever used.

FAQ
GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY.
Truly fragrance-free. No added fragrance and no essential oils. There is a very faint natural earthiness from the raw ingredients that disappears once hair dries.
It's formulated for sensitive scalps: sulfate-free, fragrance-free, and free of parabens, phthalates, silicones, and dyes. As with any new product on sensitive skin, patch-test first. (Cosmetic care; not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.)
Yes. It cleans with a gentle sulfate-free lather and conditions at the same time with rice water, jojoba oil, and shea butter, so hair dries soft instead of stripped. Use the conditioner bar mid-length to ends for extra slip.
That's the natural scent of the plant ingredients and rice water — no fragrance was added. Reviewers describe it as faint and earthy, gone once hair dries.
The shampoo cleans and conditions on its own. The fragrance-free conditioner bar adds slip and softness on the mid-lengths and ends — both share the same short ingredient list.
Give your hair 2–3 washes to adjust. Because there's nothing added to irritate, a fragrance-free bar is an easy choice while your scalp recalibrates.
Each bar lasts 60–80 washes, which is the equivalent of 2–3 bottles of liquid shampoo. The bar stays dry between uses when stored on a bamboo holder with airflow drainage, which extends its life significantly. If you are washing 2–3 times a week, one bar typically lasts 5–8 months.
