Powder Shampoo: Sustainable innovation
At the origin of Essôbe is Dominique Krzyzyk, an engineer specializing in Safety and Prevention of Industrial Risks.
The founder became aware of the risks associated with chemicals in our daily lives, including in our cosmetics. This awareness inspired her to create a healthy alternative. A brand that is both respectful of the planet and adapted to everyone's needs.
Faced with this challenge, she asked herself an essential question.
“How can we offer inclusive, minimalist and safe hair products while limiting our impact on the planet?”
Thus was born Essôbe , a brand that embodies these values and offers natural hair care. The products are made in France, free from harmful products and unnecessary water.

Ecology and inclusion at the heart of the brand 🍃
The year 2022 marks the beginning of the brand's adventure, with the launch of its first range of eco-designed products. These treatments are made for all hair types: normal, dry and sensitive. These hair treatments are formulated with prebiotics, free of additives and preservatives, and available in a vegan and cruelty-free range.
The packaging is thoughtful. It is made of recyclable and refillable PET bottles. This initiative helps reduce the carbon footprint.
Their flagship product: Gentle powder shampoo!
Among Essôbe 's treasures, the gentle powder shampoo appears to be the essential bestseller! This versatile product is perfectly suited to pregnant women and nursing mothers. It is also suitable for the whole family from 3 years old. This shampoo also washes hair effectively while moisturizing dry hair.

Its concentrated formula contains two prebiotics that balance the scalp microbiome, reducing discomfort. This powder shampoo stands out for the absence of sulfates and preservatives.
A single bottle of powder shampoo provides up to 20 shampoos! In addition, the possibility of refilling it helps to extend its lifespan, thus avoiding unnecessary waste.
What is a powder shampoo?
Powdered shampoo should be mixed with water to create a paste or foam before applying to wet hair.
It deeply cleanses hair, removing excess oil, dirt, and product residue, just like a traditional liquid shampoo. This powder shampoo is often formulated with natural ingredients. It can be customized to meet different hair needs (hydration, volume, repair, etc.).
Thanks to its concentrated formula, the weight and volume for transport are reduced. The brand also minimizes plastic packaging.

How to use powder shampoo?
- Put the equivalent of a capful or teaspoon of powder in your palm. (Be careful not to put the equivalent of tablespoons or you may have some surprises.)
- Add a tiny bit of water or apply the powder to your wet hair.
- Lather by rubbing your hands together. Or, massage your scalp, as you would with a traditional liquid shampoo.
- Finish with a rinse, ideally with lukewarm water.
You can add to this list the fact of putting a silk square on your hair to make it shinier. We have done on this subject that you can find here.
