I usually suffer from dandruff during the wintertime, this combo fixed it after the first use. I have been a fan of Viori bars for a while now, but this is my first essential oils collection. Looking forward to trying all others I got.

Description
Tea tree shampoo bar for an oily, itchy, flaky scalp.
Who it's for: Oily, itchy, flaking or dandruff-prone scalps. Also for sensitive scalps that react to synthetic fragrance.
What it does: Calms itch, clears visible flaking and controls oil — without the strip-and-rebound cycle that makes it worse.
How it works: Tea tree leaf oil, long used in scalp care for its cleansing properties, works with peppermint leaf oil to cool and calm. Rosemary leaf oil supports the scalp. A sulfate-free base cleans deeply without disrupting the scalp barrier.
What it feels like: Cooling tingle on the scalp during the wash. Itch settles down within a wash or two.
Scent: Tea tree and peppermint — sharp, clean and cooling. Essential oils only.
How to use: Two to three times a week for an active flare, then as needed. Let the lather sit on the scalp a minute before rinsing.
Sulfate-free · Paraben-free · Phthalate-free · pH-balanced · Vegan · Cruelty-free · Plastic-free · 100+ washes per bar.

I love the tea tree shampoo! It smells wonderful and feels really nice on my skin, so far!
This is my favorite scents,I do love the cooling sensation when I am washing my hair,definitely would reorder again!
My favorite shampoo!
My younger Daughter received her shampoo and conditioner from Viori today, and as you can tell in the screenshots, she is very, very happy with everything I bought for her. Especially these particular shampoo and conditioner bars for her “itchy and oily” psoriasis scalp. I’m one happy Momma, too, that you guys have this now because my baby is very picky and won’t use just anything. I became a subscriber over a year ago now for myself and I absolutely swear by the products. So, when I saw this special shampoo/conditioner, I immediately put in an order and subscription for her because I knew that she would also love Viori as much as I do. She’s absolutely thrilled to have her new subscriptions for this, too. She’s especially happy with the quality, the scent, and everything else about the products. We highly recommend Viori for everyone.
Not only has my scalp itch gone down in 2 uses, but I had half the hair fall i usually have too! I'm very pleased!
Loved the quality, odor and texture of the shampoo bar. It dries the hair, but after conditioning it stays perfect. My hair is curly and it feels better with this product in so little time. Also I’ve washed my hair 2 times and the flakes are less than before. When I lather my hair it feels so nice that mint on my scalp. Really loved it and want to try more shampoo bars.
Such a nice smell and my hair feels so soft after. My scalp feels calm
My hair feels Fuller softer shinier the gray is not as intense just like it says I am very happy with Viori...❣️
ive been using viori for the past 3 years and my hair feels so healthy, i cannot go back to other brands nor do i want to try. also the rice water helps tremendously with hair growth. i highly recommend trying their tea trea shampoo bar if you have dandruff or psoriasis, helped me so so so so so much. ♥️
Leaves my scalp so clean and feeling hydrated 🫶
Love the smell and I was able to have a break from the horrible dandruff other products were giving my scalp. Combined it with the coconut conditioning bar and it's going well, especially for my postpartum growing hair! I love these products.
I'm so happy with the results. My hair looks better and healthy since the first use. And my waves came back!
my hair looks amazing
Anti-Dandruff Clarifying Shampoo Bar with Tea Tree Essential Oil
My hair was really dry and damaged but after using this product my hair has never been better!! My hairdresser even commented on it and asked what I use lol
I am using Viori Shampoo bars for more than a year now, it is very convenient to use and I also like their effect on my hair. Each bar lasts for months, so I ended up saving a lot of money.
Love, love love this shampoo and conditioner. My hair was so damaged from all the chemical treatments I’ve done plus the fact I workout hard every day and likely over washing it. It would get greasy within a day and was breaking off every time I styled or brushed it. After the first wash, my hair felt cleaner, stayed clean longer and is already feeling stronger after only 5 washes (in three weeks). I travel a lot for work and this is also nice for airplane travel and I love the minty smell. I’m getting compliments from strangers on both the look and smell of my hair (but not in a creepy way)
Aside from the heirloom tea collection, this is my new favorite shampoo bar!!! It’s minty and cooling and makes my hair feel so shiny and clean. I’ve been using viori bars for about 8 months now, and it feels healthy and soft. Each of my strands is thicker than it used to be, and it grows fast. 10/10 recommend. Please bring back the heirloom tea bars! :))
My hair is dry and dyed all the time. Until I get scalp scabs and dandruff. Very embarrassing, I’m very skeptical with trying new products. I’m very loyal to the shampoo and conditioner that I’ve been using for, for years. And I’m tired of hiding my dandruff and it’s embarrassing to even touch my hair when I’m outside cause my dandruff will fall down to my clothes my car. Im thankful that I gave this a shot. My dandruff is almost gone, from 100% down to 20%. Very effective and not only that MY HAIR IS SMOOTHER AND SHINIER!!! Now I can touch my hair anywhere I want. Thank you so much for inventing this shampoo m. 😭🥰
My hair is amazing after 1 use will never use nothing but viori thank you all for such a g great product
I’ve tried 20 different shampoos to regrow and nourish my curly hair. From ultra-natural to salon quality… this is the best combo of quality, natural, healthy, eco-friendly and affordable I’ve found. I LOVE the new essential oil scented bars, and this Tea Tree Mint is excellent for stimulating the scalp to regrow hair. I can’t thank you enough Viori !!! ♥️
Left my scalp clean and hair looks healthier… love this product.
I've used the Hidden Waterfall shampoo and conditioner for a couple of years but saw this new one, Tea Tree Mint, so I decided to switch it up and give it a try. I got that shampoo and the Chamomile Rose conditioner. I LOVE them!! It's a really nice combo together. The mint is refreshing and the chamomile is delightful. I still love the Waterfall sent too though so I'll probably be keeping these on rotation when I feel like mixing it up.
Best shampoo and conditioner ever !! Perfect for my long hair and gives moisture to the ends of my hair. Smells so nice and easy to brush my hair now .i can’t live without Viori in my life . Worth the money and the bars lasts along time as well as I only need to wash my hair once a week when I use Viori. In love with Viori.
My hair is soft and healthy!
I have used Viori for over 2 years. I have been using the tea tree shampoo and the coconut repair conditioner. I the shampoo is clarifying enough that I don’t have the buildup cycle as with other shampoos, and it helps keep my scalp calm and clear. The coconut oil repair conditioner has helped keep my medium texture, medium density, 2B hair from getting split ends as I’m growing it out. I don’t need much product for styling.
So far so good. I wanted a bar Shampoo/Conditioner for traveling purposes and Viori has the Oily/Itchy Scalp bar that is still made with rice water so I am giving it a try. It lathers up well and the conditioner is super creamy as well.
I've tried 3 different ones and this one is great!! And the citrus brand worked great too!! But my hair has changed so much and how healthy it's been these past few months! Even got my sister in law hooked to this brand now too!! Thank you again
Wasn’t expecting the bar to actually be so easy to use on longer hair and to have a good lather. Love it!
When I began using Viori many years ago, I had issues with my scalp. Viori was a big part of getting my scalp back to health. I still use it now even though I don't have scalp issues, because my hair loves Viori.
My husband has always fought an itchy scalp, and so I purchased this bar for him to try. He likes the ease at which he can travel with it and the best, it seems to soothe his scalp! Thank you!
Very particular about the product lines I use on my hair. Viori is just as good as Pureology, Redken and L’anza. Highly recommend.
I just received my Viori shampoo and conditioner bar and in just 4 days I have felt a difference on my scalp. No more itching throughout the day. Thanks.
I am really enjoying Viori so far. I've tried a few of the shampoo and conditioner bars and I'm really liking the Tea tree and mint one. The smell is refreshing and so is that clean feeling. But above all, the volume and body that my hair has now is killer. And the shine? My hair just looks and feels so healthy. I'm hooked.
I absolutely love my Viori shampoo and conditioner bars. I have been using them for the past 3 years, and I have not had any reaction as I have with other brands. I also love that it is so easy to travel with. I don't have to worry about finding the right travel bottles that don't spill.
there's a reason I order this every month for my family it works amazing without all the unnecessary additives and it has use no plastic bottles
The shampoo bar is lovely to look at, was attractively and environmentally packaged and has worked well to reduce the itchiness of my scalp.
I have used Viori for years. I don't use the Tea Tree shampoo for itchy scalp. I just love the scent. It's invigorating. My hair is long, soft and shiny, has been since I started using Viori. I will continue as long as the formula stays the same.
THE PROBLEM
EFFECTIVE OR GENTLE. NOT BOTH.
The wash that calms the flakes strips your scalp dry, and the gentle one does nothing at all.
0 1
THE STRIP-AND-REPEAT CYCLE.
Medicated drugstore shampoos work just enough to keep you coming back — but the sulfates leave your scalp tighter and drier than before. Cold air and indoor heating take care of the rest.
0 2
RESIDUE. THEN REGRET.
Most shampoo bars you've tried left a waxy coating that took weeks to wash out — and that 'transition period' felt less like adjusting and more like giving up. Your hair shouldn't feel worse before it feels better.
0 3
THE SCENT YOU CAN'T SHAKE.
Anti-dandruff washes that address visible flaking tend to smell like a medicine cabinet — synthetic, clinical, and strong enough to linger on a sensitive scalp long after the shower ends.
THE ANSWER
Clean deeper. Strip less.
The Tea Tree Shampoo Bar calms visible flaking and an itchy, tight scalp without the stripping most medicated washes bring.
Tea tree and peppermint oils work on the scalp itself — tea tree for the microbial side of flaking, peppermint for the cooling that takes the edge off an itch within the wash. What makes the difference is what is missing: no sulfates, so the scalp is not stripped bare and left to rebound. Longsheng rice water adds inositol and amino acids for the hair itself, and the bar rinses completely clear so nothing accumulates at the roots to feed the cycle again. Most people report the itch easing first, then the visible flaking over two or three weeks.

WHY IT WORKS
- Tea Tree Calms the Scalp
Tea tree leaf oil contains naturally occurring terpinen-4-ol, which has been studied for its antifungal properties in scalp care contexts. In a randomized controlled trial of a 5% tea tree oil shampoo formulation, participants saw a 41% improvement in dandruff severity score, compared to 11% in the placebo group (Satchell et al. 2002). Viori's bar incorporates tea tree oil as a key ingredient — not as a drug treatment, but as a studied botanical that supports a calmer, more balanced scalp through the wash. If you're managing a clinically diagnosed scalp condition, a dermatologist can help you find the right routine. New to essential oils on your scalp? A patch test before first use is always a good idea.
- Peppermint Interrupts the Itch
The cool tingle you feel at your roots isn't just a sensory bonus — it's menthol activating nerve fibers and k-opioid receptors in the scalp to interrupt the itch signal before it registers as the urge to scratch. Research into topical peppermint oil confirms its role in helping reduce the persistent itch that tight, dry winter scalps know well (Elsaie et al. 2016; Oh et al. 2014). The result is a scalp that feels like it can exhale by the time you rinse.
- Rice Water Strengthens, Not Strips
Longsheng rice water — drawn from the same fermented hair care practice used by the Red Yao women of southern China — contributes inositol, amino acids, and hydrolyzed rice protein to the formula. These compounds have been studied for their ability to reduce surface friction, support hair fiber elasticity, and help retain moisture along the strand (Inamasu et al. 2010). Where sulfate-heavy dandruff washes trade flake control for dryness, the rice water base here works to keep the hair shaft intact while the scalp gets the clean it needs — and panthenol (Vitamin B5) and glycerin layer in additional barrier support to help address the dryness and tightness that come with a cold-weather wash routine.
- Sulfate-free cleansing preserves moisture in porous hair
Bleached hair is highly porous — it absorbs and loses moisture faster than untreated hair. Sulfate-free cleansers remove buildup and oil without disrupting the lipid layer that keeps moisture locked inside the shaft.

FAQ
GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY.
No sulfates, no parabens, no phthalates, no synthetic fragrance, pH-balanced, vegan. The deep-clean feeling comes from tea tree and peppermint, not from stripping.
If a doctor put you on it, ask them before changing anything. Many customers alternate: medicated wash as directed, Tea Tree Mint in between.
Feel (cooling, clean scalp) — first wash. Look (softness, volume) — most report within the first few washes. Give the pair two consistent weeks.
The shampoo bar cleanses and tones. The conditioner bar seals in the moisture and amino acids from the rice water and protects the cuticle between washes. For bleached hair — which is porous and loses moisture quickly — using both gives you the full repair benefit. The shampoo bar alone is a meaningful upgrade over a sulfate purple shampoo, but the duo is where the real difference shows.
Yes — most people need 2–3 washes for their hair to adjust from liquid shampoo to a bar formula. During that time your hair may feel slightly different as it clears out residue from previous products. Bleached hair typically adjusts faster than untreated hair because the cuticle is already more open. Stick with it past the first wash.
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.
