Built for scalps that earn their grime — Tea Tree Mint is a solid shampoo bar formulated for oily, itchy, or flaky scalps that need a real reset after days under a hat or helmet. Tea tree oil helps manage the flaking and itch associated with scalp buildup and microbial imbalance, while peppermint oil hits on contact with an immediate cooling sensation that cuts through post-summit sweat and heat buildup. Longsheng rice water — a fermented treatment used by the Red Yao women of southern China — strengthens hair fibers while the sulfate-free formula deep-cleans without triggering the grease-rebound cycle that comes from over-stripping. Zero plastic, zero leak risk, and it fits in a hip-belt pocket: this is the bar that replaces the liquid bottle you'd otherwise have to pack out.

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Longsheng Rice Water, Cocoa Butter, Sodium Lactate, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Peppermint Leaf Oil, Shea Butter, Butylene Glycol (Plant-Based), Stearic Acid, Tea Tree Leaf Oil, Rosemary Leaf Oil, Vitamin B8, Vitamin B5, Rice Bran Oil, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Broccoli Seed Oil, Bamboo Extract, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate — derived from coconut fatty acids; a mild synthetic surfactant that produces a rich, trail-ready lather without the soap scum that cold-process bars leave behind in hard water. (EWG: 1)
Behentrimonium Methosulfate — plant-derived from rapeseed oil; conditions and detangles without the heavy, waxy residue that makes straight or wavy hair look greasy by mile ten. (EWG: 1)
Longsheng Rice Water — fermented rice water sourced from Longsheng, China; delivers amino acids and inositol that support hair fiber strength and elasticity.
Cocoa Butter — pressed from cacao seeds; provides a lightweight emollient barrier that protects hair without weighing it down. (EWG: 1)
Sodium Lactate — salt of lactic acid, typically corn-derived; helps the bar hold its shape in heat and humidity — relevant when your pack sits in direct sun all day. (EWG: 1)
Glycerin — plant-derived humectant; draws moisture to the hair shaft so hair doesn't feel stripped after a hard-water rinse. (EWG: 1)
Cetyl Alcohol — fatty alcohol derived from coconut or palm; a conditioning agent that smooths the cuticle — not a drying alcohol. (EWG: 1)
Peppermint Leaf Oil — steam-distilled from peppermint plant; delivers the sharp, cold-mint hit that invigorates the scalp and helps soothe itch on contact. (EWG: 1)
Shea Butter — cold-pressed from the shea tree nut; adds slip and softness without the heavy residue of silicone-based conditioners. (EWG: 1)
Butylene Glycol (Plant-Based) — plant-derived solvent and humectant; helps active ingredients distribute evenly across the scalp. (EWG: 1)
Stearic Acid — fatty acid from plant oils; gives the bar its firm, pack-friendly structure and contributes to a stable lather. (EWG: 1)
Tea Tree Leaf Oil — steam-distilled from Melaleuca alternifolia leaves; a recognized antimicrobial ingredient that helps manage the flaking and itch associated with scalp buildup and microbial imbalance. (EWG: 1)
Rosemary Leaf Oil — distilled from rosemary herb; supports scalp circulation and adds a clean, herbal note that complements the mint-and-tea-tree scent profile. (EWG: 1)
Vitamin B8 (Inositol) — naturally present in rice water; helps reinforce the hair's structural integrity from root to tip.
Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) — provitamin derived from plants; may help add moisture retention and reduce breakage from repeated hat-on, hat-off friction. (EWG: 1)
Rice Bran Oil — cold-pressed from the outer layer of rice; rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that condition the scalp without clogging follicles. (EWG: 1)
Hydrolyzed Rice Protein — rice protein broken into smaller chains for better absorption; helps condition hair against surface damage from UV exposure and mechanical abrasion on the trail. (EWG: 1)
Broccoli Seed Oil — cold-pressed from broccoli seeds; provides a silicone-like smoothing effect on the cuticle — without the plastic-derived ingredient. (EWG: 1)
Bamboo Extract — derived from bamboo plant; a source of silica that adds light texture and volume so hair doesn't go flat under a helmet. (EWG: 1)
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — plant-derived antioxidant; protects hair lipids from oxidative stress caused by sun and wind exposure. (EWG: 1)
Aloe Vera — gel from aloe leaves; calms scalp irritation and adds a layer of lightweight hydration that supports a balanced scalp environment. (EWG: 1)

1. Wet your hair and scalp thoroughly — even a trickle from a backcountry spigot or camp shower works.
2. Rub the bar directly between your palms or across your scalp for 5–10 seconds to build a trail-ready lather.
3. Work the lather into your scalp with your fingertips using short, firm circles — focus on areas under your hat line where sweat and oil accumulate most.
4. Let the lather sit for 30–60 seconds if your scalp itch is running high; the tea tree and peppermint need a moment of contact to do their job.
5. Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear — full rinse is especially important in hard water to prevent any mineral buildup.
6. Shake off excess water, let the bar dry before stowing it, and pack it out — no bottle, no waste.
