The shampoo bar equivalent of cold water on your face, but pleasant

Some mornings need coffee. Some mornings need mandarin and mint directly on your scalp. This is the Shampoo Moon for the second kind. Bright mandarin oil hits first - that happy citrus that makes everything feel possible. Then mint comes in with its tingly clean that actually wakes up your scalp. It's not subtle. It's not trying to be. This is shower clarity in a puck.

Like all our Shampoo Moons, the therapeutic base of rosemary and tea tree keeps your scalp balanced and healthy. The argan and jojoba oils treat while they clean. One bar still replaces 100+ washes worth of plastic bottles. But this one also replaces your need for morning motivation. Annie's been using these for years. Just a tiny bit each time. Her bars last forever and she needs nothing else. That's the dream: one product that actually works.

"Citrus wakes you up, mint keeps you there. This combination isn't subtle - mandarin oil brightens everything it touches while mint creates that tingly clean feeling people love. Same therapeutic rosemary and tea tree base as all our Shampoo Moons, but this one's for people who want their shower to feel like a wake-up call. In the best way."

— Emily Whitlock, Co-Founder & Formulator

Why You'll Love The Mandarin Mint Shampoo Moon

  • Mandarin and mint together create instant awakening. Your scalp literally tingles awake
  • Rich, creamy lather from concentrated oils - Annie uses "just a tiny bit" and it's enough
  • One bar = 100+ washes = months of mornings = zero plastic bottles in your shower
  • Rosemary and tea tree base keeps scalps healthy while the stars perform
  • The scent lingers just enough to remind you that you made good choices this morning

This Is Why We Do It

"I love the Shampoo Moon. I have been using it for years along with the conditioner bar. I just need a tiny bit which makes the bars last a long time. My hair feels soft and I don't need to use any other products. The packaging (or lack of) is one of my favorite features, no plastic bottles!"
— Annie F.

The Ritual

Morning shower. Wet your hair. Run this bar over your scalp and feel the immediate difference - that mint tingle starts right away. Three to four swipes is plenty. Put the bar down (important). Work up the lather and notice how the mandarin brightens everything while the mint keeps things sharp. This isn't leisurely shower meditation. This is get-up-and-go in shampoo form. Rinse with cooler water if you really want to wake up. Your whole head feels alive. This is how mornings should start.

Key Ingredients

Mandarin & Mint Essential Oils
The wake-up crew. Bright citrus meets cool tingle. Morning motivation in oil form.
Rosemary & Tea Tree Base
In every Shampoo Moon. Therapeutic support that keeps scalps balanced and happy.
Argan & Jojoba Oils
Treatment oils that make your hair behave better all day. Not just clean, actually healthier.
Sodium Coco Sulfate (The Helper)
Tiny amount from coconut. Helps create the lather without the harsh strip of petroleum sulfates.

Complete Your Ritual

Follow with our Solid Conditioner Bar to seal in the benefits. Weekly, treat yourself to the Rosemary Hair Food Mask for deep therapy. This combination is perfect for people who treat their morning routine like a competitive sport. Quick, efficient, effective. Annie's been doing this for years with nothing else needed. No bottles, no multiple products, no complicated routine. Just wake up, lather up, rinse, and face whatever Tuesday's throwing at you. You're ready now.

Ready to make morning showers actually wake you up? Your citrus-mint solution awaits.

INGREDIENTS

saponified organic oils of olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, elaeis guineensis (palm) kernel oil (sustainably sourced), organic argania spinosa (argan) kernel oil, sodium coco sulfate (a plant-based surfactant derived from coconut oil, making it a more natural palm-free alternative to other harsh sulfates like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)), cetyl fatty alcohol (conditioning emollient, vegetable source), pure plant essential oils (mandarin, mint, rosemary, tea tree).

How strong is the mint tingle? It's noticeable but not overwhelming. The mint creates a cool, tingly sensation on your scalp that lasts about a minute after rinsing. It's wake-up level, not burning-eyes level. The mandarin brightens and balances it, so you get energizing without aggressive. Think of it as the shampoo equivalent of splashing cold water on your face - refreshing, awakening, but not shocking. If you're sensitive to mint, start with less product. Annie uses "just a tiny bit" and that's plenty for full coverage and tingle.

How do I choose between all the Shampoo Moon scents? Tree Hugger smells like walking through a forest - grounding, earthy, classic. Rosewood Vanilla is sophisticated warmth - like expensive comfort. Mandarin Mint is pure wake-up energy - bright, sharp, motivating. All have the same base of rosemary and tea tree for scalp health. All have argan and jojoba for treatment. All last 100+ washes. The only difference is how you want to smell while saving the planet. Some people have different scents for different moods. Annie's been loyal to Mandarin Mint for years. Pick what speaks to your shower personality.

Why do all Shampoo Moons have rosemary and tea tree?These are the therapeutic foundation. Rosemary stimulates circulation and helps with hair growth. Tea tree keeps bacterial and fungal issues in check (dandruff, itchy scalp, etc.). They're in every Shampoo Moon because healthy scalp is non-negotiable, regardless of what scent you prefer on top. Think of them as the vegetables in your meal - you might change the seasoning (mandarin, vanilla, forest), but the nutrition stays consistent. It's why people like Annie can use these for years with no scalp issues and no need for other products.

Why did you change from balls to pucks and can I still get balls? Pure physics. Balls roll. We thought the sphere shape was clever (moon, ball, get it?) until customers started finding them in their toilets after they rolled off shelves. So we flattened them into pucks. Now they stay put, have more surface area for lathering, and fit better in soap dishes. But some original customers miss the balls and honestly get a little emotional about it. We can't do both shapes (small batch reality), so pucks won. They work exactly the same, just with less bathroom acrobatics. Think of it as evolution.

Will this actually clean my hair as well as liquid shampoo? Yes, and we think it cleans it better. Unlike many liquid shampoos that are mostly water and detergents, this is a concentrated bar of nourishing oils and gentle cleansers. It creates a rich lather that cleans thoroughly without stripping your hair, leaving it healthier and softer.

Why include sodium coco sulfate if the oils already clean?It's a tiny supporting ingredient, not the star. The saponified olive, coconut, and castor oils do the actual cleaning work. The argan and jojoba provide the treatment. But that small amount of sodium coco sulfate (from coconut, not petroleum) helps everything lather the way people expect shampoo to lather. Without it, the bar still works, but you'd be rubbing it on your head longer trying to get enough foam. It's like baking soda in pancakes - not the main ingredient, but the recipe works better with a little bit. And since it's coconut-derived, biodegradable, and way gentler than SLS, we're okay with using just enough to make the experience better.

Works wonders, smells terrific!

This is the first shampoo bar that I have used, and I am glad I made the switch. It is easy to both hold (disc or puck style) and use (rub against my hair) and works into a rich, creamy, foamy delicious smelling lather. It also rinses easily, and clean (no residue remaining). This shampoo bar leaves my scalp feeling clean (not stripped) and my long, fine hair strands feeling moisturized and nourished (not weighed down). My hair is a little fluffier and voluminous after use (and air drying) which I like. I do enjoy the scent as well and find it comforting (a little bit sandalwood/rosewood, a little earthy, a little vanilla). I feel healthier and happier using this shampoo bar because it works well and is better for the environment - less (zero) plastic waste. Thank you!

Love how this shampoo foams just like the other stuff in a bottle without any plastic waste. Never tried shampoo ball, this is the one.

Love the smell

I love the two different shampoos. I bought them a little before I needed them because of the sale. I think I like your old ball shape better than this new "disc" shape though

Works Great!

Really like this shampoo bar! It lathers up nicely, cleanses down to the root, rinses well and leaves my hair feeling clean, all without the plastic bottle!
