LIFETIME PLASTIC AVOIDED
SWITCHING SAVINGS/COSTS
| Investing in the Ethique Conditioner Bar represents a Lifetime Saving of approximately $2,500.00 USD. While the bar has a higher upfront cost than one cheap bottle of conditioner, the math of the Healthy SHIFT is undeniable. Since one bar replaces five bottles, your cost-per-wash drops significantly. You are essentially getting 4 bottles for "free" while upgrading to professional-grade, Chemical-Free ingredients. |
CHEMICALS AVOIDED
| By choosing Ethique, you are avoiding "Chemicals that mess with your body's natural rhythm." Liquid conditioners are packed with Synthetic Fragrances and Siloxanes that act as endocrine disruptors. This bar uses natural cocoa and shea, ensuring your bathroom routine remains Chemical-Free and your hair is nourished by nature, not industrial lab byproducts. |
