Which Norilum Shampoo Bar Is Right for Your Hair?

Choosing the right shampoo bar can make a huge difference to your hair and scalp health. While all Norilum shampoo bars are formulated with gentle coconut-derived cleansers, proteins, vitamins, botanicals, and pure essential oils, each bar is designed to target specific hair concerns.

Whether you're looking for volume, hydration, scalp detoxification, or support for thinning hair, there's a Norilum shampoo bar formulated for your needs.

What Makes Norilum Shampoo Bars Different?

Our shampoo bars contain:

  • SCI (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate) for gentle sulphate-free cleansing
  • BTMS for conditioning and detangling
  • Hydrolysed Silk Protein for softness and shine
  • Rice Protein for strength and volume
  • Biotin and Panthenol to support healthy hair
  • Mineral-rich clays for scalp detoxification
  • Pure essential oils for natural fragrance and scalp benefits
  • No artificial fragrances
  • No synthetic colours
  • No harsh sulphates

Each bar is designed to support a healthy scalp because healthy hair starts at the roots.

Clays work like magnets, attracting:

Why We Use Essential Oils Instead of Fragrance

You'll never find artificial fragrances in Norilum shampoo bars.

Instead, we use pure essential oils including:

  • Neroli
  • Geranium
  • Lavender
  • Tea Tree
  • Cedarwood
  • Frankincense
  • Peppermint
  • May Chang

These oils provide beautiful natural aromas while offering additional scalp and hair benefits.


Do You Need Conditioner?

Many customers find they need less conditioner after switching to Norilum shampoo bars because our formulas contain BTMS, Silk Protein, Panthenol, and nourishing botanical ingredients.

However, if you have:

  • Long hair

  • Colour-treated hair

you may still benefit from a conditioner bar for additional moisture and detangling.
