I have to say, I was completely taken aback by this investigative review. Ever since I started my Natural Home with Jennifer series, you have been urging me to try shampoo and conditioner bars. I didn't jump at the request because I thought, "how good could those possibly be?" I imagined washing my hair with a bar of soap and coming out of the shower with brittle, coarse hair.



Well, I finally decided to try them and I was completely astonished at the results. Not only did they clean my hair well, but they actually nourished it, conditioned it, and made it softer. I film this before and after at the end of a long, rainy day when I looked like something the cat dragged in. Yikes! But wait until you see the "after".

The lovely bars I am using are from The Sudsy Soapery. They contacted me to to see if I'd like to try any of their products. I noticed they did shampoo and conditioner bars so I requested those. Not only did they send the bars, but they also sent me a lovely care package full of candles, soaps, and natural deodorant! I will have to do another review of all of their other lovely products.

Check out all of their shampoo bars here and their conditioner bars here.



Here is what they have to say about their Calendula shampoo bar:
Our hair shampoo bar is meant for normal hair and leaves your hair feeling conditioned, soft and manageable. This bar is a great alternative to sulfate and chemical ridden shampoo that leaves your scalp and hair dry and frizzy.

Here is what they say about their conditioner bar:
Our after shampoo solid hair conditioner bar is packed full with all natural ingredients to make your hair look and feel great. We have chosen some of the very finest hair conditioning butters like Jojoba and Hemp Seed to enhance the conditioning experience. As part of our ongoing dedication to hair health we have decided to complete the hair bar experience with adding some great aids like Lemon Shine and Split end fortifiers to make your hair conditioning a natural and amazing experience!

I have used these for a few weeks and have also worn my hair curly a few times since then. These bars cultivate beautiful curls! My daughters use them too and I am amazed at how tangle-free and beautifully textured their hair is after using them. I can't recommend them enough!

The Sudsy Soapery are a small business run by a husband and wife team. They are the loveliest people and their products are handmade and totally natural.

While the prices are cheaper on their own website, some people like to be able to buy on Amazon so I am also linking them here: shampoo bar on Amazon and conditioner bar on Amazon

On today's episode of Natural Home with Jennifer , I'm sharing some new natural finds in four different categories.



Hand Sanitizers


Birdie and Minnie Hand Sanitizers by Olika are wonderful little inventions. Here are some of their attributes:

VALUE - With 350+ sprays or 175 uses, Birdie replaces 10+ bottles of gel based alternatives.
HYDRATING - Formulation is proven to improve skin hydration for up to 24 hours.
BETTER-FOR-YOU INGREDIENTS - Formula contains 7 simple, natural ingredients that you can recognize and understand: Alcohol, water, glycerin, aloe vera and the essential oils of lemon, spearmint and bergamot.
NO NASTY CHEMICALS: Vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free and void of any harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances.
DUAL FUNCTIONALITY - Birdie contains a sanitizing spray plus 10 dry wipes. Simply spray liquid on to wipe to capture dirt and grime on hands.
HIGH TECH - Birdie contains a twist locking mechanism to prevent accidental sprays on-the-go. Our bird needs to be fully unlocked in order to spray liquid.
The Minnie has 500+ sprays or 250 uses, Minnie replaces 15+ bottles of gel based alternatives.

They are also TSA friendly, so you can take them on your flight. Olika sent me these to review back in December and I've been using them ever since. They are very handy and make a great natural alternative to traditional chemical-laden hand sanitizers.

Shampoo + Conditioner



The Acure Argan Oil + Pumpkin Shampoo and Conditioner is a beautifully hydrating duo with a delightful scent. (Seriously, this smells amazing). I purchased mine on Grove Collaborative but you can also find the set on Amazon.

Vegan, gluten and cruelty free
Paraben, sulfate, silicone, sodium chloride, phthalate and synthetic fragrance free
Color safe, 100 percent biodegradable

I find these to be very moisturizing. They get my hair clean and I like their natural properties.


Eczema Therapy Cream



I requested the Kamedis Dermatology Eczema Therapy Cream to try as I have suffered from a particularly bad case of hand eczema of late. (Watch today's video to hear the whole story.) I find this cream to be very soothing and does help my hands when I suffer from a flare-up. Here are some of the botanicals found in this natural cream:

Chinese Rhubarb: a strong anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial botanical
Great Burnet
Tree of Heaven
Baikal Skullcap
Cnidium Fruit
Licorice

Here is more on Kamedis Dermatology from their website:
Kamedis skin formulations are derived from natural botanicals used in traditional Chinese medicine, botanicals that have been renowned for their therapeutic properties for hundreds if not thousands of years. Ours are conscientiously sourced and meticulously purified. Our manufacturing process employs the highest quality standards, including assessment of physical and chemical properties and microbiological testing.

**Please ask the opinion of your healthcare professional before using any new product to treat your eczema condition.

e-cloths - clean with just water



I love my e-cloths and was excited to test out the electronics cloth and glassware polishing cloth

They both performed beautifully. I was especially impressed with how the electronics cloth polished my laptop. To use, try it on your electronics dry first. If you have any stubborn streaks, dampen one corner of the cloth with water and wipe, then go over the same spot with a dry part of the towel.



The glass polishing cloth has a rough texture that is perfect for polishing your glasses. A great thing to do before a dinner party.

I hope you enjoyed the items reviewed on today's Natural Home with Jennifer. If you have any requests for this series, please let me know.

Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you on Monday for an all new video.
