All-Natural, Plant-Derived, Effective Hair & Body Care

A. This depends on the factors below:

• How often you use the bar 

• Your hair length

• How you store your bar (they last longer if they are kept dry between washes)

• If you just use it as a hair shampoo or as the one bar from head to toe (yes, our bars can be used as a face and body bar as well)

​​

Typically the 75g bars can last between 50 to 70 washes and the 50g bars can last between 30 to 40 washes.  

​

A. We chose our surfactants (the cleaning ingredients) and active ingredients very carefully, so that they can be used on different parts of our body. Some ingredients are better known for helping healthy hair growth, such as Amla. Since they are made at pH 5.5, you can rest assured it's very gentle on the skin throughout your body. 

A. Our products are made with plant-derived ingredients and botanicals. Some of them are extracts, so different parts of the plants (flowers, leaves or resins) are subjected to an extraction process. This involves isolating certain components present in plants - which means there is a much higher concentration of those components in the solvent used. In addition, there is a common misunderstanding that as long as a product is made with natural ingredients, they are safe and non-irritating. This is not true. There are plant materials that can cause issue if we don’t use them carefully, eg. Shikakai or essential oils. Shikakai in high concentration can cause eye irritation. In case you have very sensitive eyes, we ask that when you are using our Herbal Therapy bar or the Finer Things bar, try not have your eyes wide open during the wash.

A. As a natural and organic skincare and haircare provider, we chose to work only with natural ingredients. We need to be aware however, that “natural” or “green” are overused words and they are not regulated. At Patrichory, we are committed to defining natural to be:

• Ingredients that are in their natural state, such as organic carrier oils. We do our best to source for organic and wildcrafted lipids and essential oils as they are known to contain the best profiles of the chemical constituents.

• Understanding the limitation of materials in their pure form, we also used plant-derived ingredients, to provide the best user experience and skin benefits. And, we are mindful to source for those that are either Eco-certified, Cosmos certified or compliant.​

A. We do not add synthetic fragrance to our products. The scent from our products are from natural sources: the oils and butters, plants and herbs, extracts and essential oils. For our hair perfumes, we use naturally derived fragrances, so they come from plants, not from a lab. Some formulators prefer to work with refined oils and butters due to the colour and scent which can be overpowering and interact with their choice of fragrance. But we love to work with these plant scents and blend the ingredients together so that the nutty or herbaceous scents of these oils and plants form instead a grounding undertone for our lovely fragrance and essential oil blends. We hope that you enjoy them as much as we do to celebrate the goodness of nature.
