It's a great story
WHY WE MAKE OUR BARS
OUR STORY
As parents of three young children we were concerned about the amount of waste we were creating at bath time. This was in the form of the shampoo being wasted (when the kids get hold of it and squirt it everywhere) and the sheer amount of plastic bottles we were using. Something had to change.
So we set out to find a solution
Having seen shampoo bars in the market for adults, we looked everywhere for a child-friendly version… but with no luck (particularly for our child with allergy-prone skin), we decided to create our own. Enter Percy & Pop Shampoo bars specially formulated for children.
Whatever way you like to wash their hair, from a little rub, a quick scrub or a soft massage, we wanted bars that would result in a beautiful bundle of bubbles…so when parents see the lather build, they can rest assured our shampoo bar is working its magic on their little one’s hair and scalp, to give them that lovely, bubbly, sniffably clean hair feeling!

Our Suppliers
We believe that our responsibility and impact extends beyond our products and we want to work with others who share our values. For us this means working with partners who can demonstrate commitment towards all the good stuff like sustainability, fair wages, reducing local unemployment, encouraging inclusivity and contributing to social causes.
Our eco-friendly packaging
Our packaging is 100% recyclable and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This certification guarantees our boxes are made with a mix of materials from sustainably managed forests, recycled materials and FSC-controlled wood. This means trees are harvested responsibly and irreplaceable forests (like really old ones!) are protected.
Our boxes are also specially designed to be entirely folded requiring no glue so no risk of contaminating the recycling process – clever!
