A coconut oil shampoo bar with rice water for severely damaged, over-processed hair.

If your hair has been through bleaching, heat styling, chemical treatments, or years of sulfate shampoos and it's showing the damage — this bar is the heavy-duty repair option. Coconut oil penetrates the hair fiber deeper than almost any other natural oil. Longsheng rice water fills in structural damage with amino acids and inositol.

Made with the same fermented rice water the Red Yao women of southern China are known for using as their primary hair treatment. This isn't a gentle daily wash — it's a repair-focused shampoo for hair that needs serious rebuilding.

*Free from sulfates, silicones, and parabens.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate — derived from coconut oil, a gentle plant-based cleanser that lathers without stripping the scalp. (EWG: 1)
Behentrimonium Methosulfate — derived from rapeseed oil, a mild conditioning agent that detangles porous, bleach-processed hair. Despite the name, it is not a sulfate cleanser. (EWG: 1)
Longsheng Rice Water — fermented rice water from the Longsheng terraces, rich in inositol and amino acids that support repair along the hair fiber. (EWG: 1)
Cocoa Butter — pressed from cacao beans, coats dry lengths in fatty acids so over-processed hair dries soft, with some bend back in it. (EWG: 1)
Fragrance* — Viori's coconut scent blend. *Phthalate-free.
Sodium Lactate — derived from fermented sugars, a humectant that holds water in the hair shaft. (EWG: 1)
Glycerin — plant-derived humectant that draws moisture into dry, porous strands. (EWG: 1)
Dragon Fruit Powder — from dragon fruit, an antioxidant-rich botanical. (EWG: 1)
Cetyl Alcohol — a plant-derived fatty alcohol (not a drying alcohol) that softens and smooths the cuticle. (EWG: 1)
Shea Butter — from shea nuts, deep moisture for the dry mid-lengths and ends that bleach leaves behind. (EWG: 1)
Butylene Glycol (Plant-Based) — plant-derived humectant that keeps the bar's actives stable and hair hydrated. (EWG: 1)
Stearic Acid — plant-derived fatty acid that gives the bar its structure and adds slip. (EWG: 1)
Polyquaternium-10 — a conditioning polymer that reduces friction while washing, so fragile wet hair breaks less. (EWG: 1)
Hydrolyzed Rice Protein — rice protein broken into fragments small enough to bind to damaged spots along the fiber. (EWG: 1)
Broccoli Seed Oil — pressed from broccoli seeds, a natural gloss alternative to silicones, without buildup. (EWG: 1)
Bamboo Extract — silica-rich extract that supports hair flexibility and shine. (EWG: 1)
Rice Bran Oil — pressed from the same rice used for the rice water, slips into cuticle gaps and seals hydration in. (EWG: 1)
Vitamin B8 (Inositol) — the rice-water carbohydrate that research suggests remains in hair after rinsing. (EWG: 1)
Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) — binds water inside the fiber and improves flexibility, so ends snap less. (EWG: 1)
Terabond — a bond-support ingredient included for damaged, over-processed hair. (Proprietary blend — EWG not rated; supplier documentation on file with Viori.)
Jojoba Esters — from jojoba, lightweight surface conditioning that will not weigh fine hair down. (EWG: 1)
Exo-P — a fermentation-derived polysaccharide that forms a light protective film over the fiber. (Proprietary — EWG not rated.)
Vitamin E — antioxidant that protects the oils in the bar and the lipids in your hair. (EWG: 1)
⭐ Coconut Oil — pressed from coconuts, the hero of this bar. In a published study it was the one oil, of the three tested, that reduced protein loss in both damaged and undamaged hair. Bleached hair loses protein constantly; that is the damage this ingredient is here for. (EWG: 1)
Aloe Vera — adds light hydration and a comfortable scalp feel. (EWG: 1)

1. Wet your hair thoroughly with warm water — not hot, which opens the cuticle and accelerates color fade.
2. Hold the bar in both hands and work it between your palms until a creamy lather builds, or rub the bar directly onto your scalp in short strokes.
3. Work the lather into your scalp with your fingertips — focus here, not on the lengths; the rinse will carry moisture through the ends.
4. Leave the lather on for 30–60 seconds if your scalp is dry or your ends feel particularly brittle before rinsing.
5. Rinse fully with cool water — the cooler temperature helps close the cuticle, which supports color retention and adds visible shine.
6. If you're switching from liquid shampoo, expect a 3–4 wash adjustment period while your hair recalibrates; the result is soft, pliable hair — not coated, not stripped.
