Testing this

But if you are looking to cut down on your impact, or just hate lugging bottles of stuff around then Trader Joe's Shampoo bar should be a welcome addition.

Now, if you live alone, please disregard what I'm about to say. If you live in a household of more than 1, please be advised that you should probably warn people about this. It looks like a bar of soap. That being said, I put it into the shower area not thinking anything of it.

My husband came to me complaining about the bar making him feel overly tingly in various places. A sensation he wasn't expecting. I had a good chuckle at his expense.

And yes, the shampoo bar has tea tree oil and peppermint so there is that refreshing feeling and aroma to this bar. And while the directions say to more or less wet the bar and rub it on your scalp. I found it easier to get a little lather in my hands and then rub the suds into my hair.

In either case, it was a pretty good shampoo minus the bottle. I didn't find it too drying, but at the end of the day, this might be better for people whose hair is more oily. I'd still want to use conditioner after this bar, but it seemed pretty on par with regular shampoo minus all the extra water.

Overall

Now, in terms of price this 4-ounce bar will set you back $3.99, which is actually a pretty good deal when compared to Lush. While they have way more varieties, their shampoo bars start at $12 but are under 2 ounces in size. Which makes these a pretty solid value.

Would I buy this again? Yes, I would buy Trader Joe's Shampoo Bar again.

The Bottom Line

Don't forget to share your thoughts by going to the "user review" at the bottom of the box (click on the number of stars you believe this product deserves) and leave a comment below.

The packaging

But in this tube is a really solid scrub. It is quite different from the tube of ultra-moisturizing hand cream. That was all strawberries in scent.

The product

This is all strawberry lemonade. 

But when you scrub yourself down you'll probably want a greywater system.

Why?

Because the abrasive material here is more than just the sugar, it's the strawberry seeds.

And they're pretty big those strawberry seeds.

When you look towards your drain you'll see that there was the potential for an entire garden there. If it wasn't already July in New York I might start the experiment to see if this would grow from just the residue in the shower.

Overall

But overall, in terms of exfoliation, this does a great job.

But if you are looking for the addition of moisturizing, then you'll want to skip this and grab the Lavender Salt Scrub. But if you seek aromatherapy of a fruity kind then this is a solid item to buy.

For $5.99 it is a fun item to try but doesn't have the same value that the 20-ounce salt scrub does.

Would I buy this again? Yes, I would buy Trader Joe's Strawberry Lemon Sugar Scrub but I'd rather reach for the lavender one since it is a better value.
