Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• HOW LONG DOES ONE SHAMPOO BAR LAST?

  The lifespan of a Disruptor London shampoo bar largely depends on factors such as usage frequency and storage. However, with proper care, these shampoo bars can last for several weeks, with many users reporting up to 50-75 washes per 100g bar​ and, up to 35 washes per 50g bar. This is due to the concentrated nature of the bar and the efficient, gentle cleansing provided by the surfactants used. To maximise the lifespan, it's important to store the bar in a dry, well-ventilated area between uses​

• CAN I USE IT AS SHAMPOO ON SENSITIVE SKIN?

  Yes, Disruptor London shampoo bars are suitable for sensitive skin, as they are formulated with gentle, natural ingredients designed to be mild and effective. The pH-balanced formula cleanses without disrupting the skin or scalp’s natural barrier, and botanical oils and cocoa seed butter provide soothing and hydrating benefits. Additionally, the bars feature surfactants like sodium cocoyl isethionate and cocamidopropyl betaine, known for their gentle, non-irritating cleansing properties​. For individuals with particularly sensitive skin or scalps, the CALM Multi-use Conditioning, Shampoo, Cleanse, and Shave Bar is an ideal choice. Specifically formulated for sensitive skin, it contains calming ingredients such as Hemp Necta, Kaolin clay, and castor oil, which work together to soothe and nourish stressed skin and scalp. The addition of cedarwood essential oil in a low concentration further enhances its grounding and calming properties​. This makes the CALM bar a perfect option for those needing extra care, offering effective cleansing and conditioning without irritation.

• IS THE SHAMPOO BAR SAFE FOR COLOURED OR TREATED HAIR?

  Yes, Disruptor London shampoo bars are safe for colour-treated hair. Their formulations are pH-balanced to help maintain the hair's cuticle, which is important for preserving colour. Additionally, the bars are boosted with panthenol (Pro vitamin B5), vegan keratin, and inulin, which provide hydration, strength, and protection. Panthenol helps improve moisture retention and shine, while plant-derived keratin strengthens hair by replenishing essential proteins. Inulin works as a natural humectant, attracting moisture to the hair, and enhancing manageability, all of which contribute to keeping color-treated hair healthy and vibrant​

SCI, a mild anionic surfactant derived from coconut oil, is known for its gentle cleansing and ability to create a creamy, luxurious lather.
