DIY Conditioner Bar Recipe
Conditioner bars are a popular choice for low-waste hair care, travel-friendly routines, and anyone looking to simplify their shower products. This recipe creates a rich, creamy bar that conditions hair while being easy to store and long-lasting.
If you’ve been curious about switching to conditioner bars but feel intimidated by sourcing ingredients or working with unfamiliar supplies, this DIY conditioner bar recipe is a perfect place to start.
Thanks to the Simply Earth DIY Conditioner Bar Kit, everything you need comes to your door in one box. It includes all of the ingredients, including essential oils, molds, paper for wrapping, and labels.
Why Choose a Conditioner Bar?
A solid conditioner bar is a great alternative to liquid conditioner. Many people love them because they:
- Reduce plastic waste
- Last longer than bottled conditioner
- Are easy to travel with
- Work well for hair, body, and shaving
- Fit into a natural living lifestyle
Making your own also gives you control over ingredients—without the hassle of sourcing them individually.
The Simply Earth DIY Conditioner Bar Kit solves that problem by including everything you need in one box, including:
- Conditioning emulsifier (BTMS-50)
- Cetyl alcohol
- Cocoa butter, shea butter, and argan oil
- Essential oils
- Preservative
- Molds, wraps, and labels
This means no guesswork, no extra shopping, and no leftover ingredients cluttering your shelves.
DIY Conditioner Bar Recipe
Ingredients
- 30 drops Lavender Essential Oil
- 20 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil
- ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons Conditioning Emulsifier (BTMS-50)
- ¼ cup Cetyl Alcohol
- ¾ tablespoon Cocoa Butter
- ¾ tablespoon Shea Butter
- ¾ tablespoon Argan Oil
- 40 drops Geogard ECT Preservative
- Soap mold
All ingredients are included in the Simply Earth kit.
Instructions
1. In a double boiler or microwave-safe container, melt the conditioning emulsifier, cetyl alcohol, cocoa butter, shea butter, and argan oil together.
2. Heat to about 160°F, stirring occasionally, until fully melted.
3. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to about 135°F, when it begins to thicken. I use a laser thermometer to easily check temperature.
4. Add essential oils and preservative, mixing thoroughly.
5. Pour the mixture into the soap molds and allow to cool completely.
6. Once solid, remove from molds. Wrap the bars using the included wraps, secure with tape, and attach labels.
How to Use a Conditioner Bar
- Wet your hair thoroughly.
- Rub the bar between your hands to create a creamy lather.
- Massage into your hair and scalp.
- Rinse well.
- Store on a soap dish with drainage so it can dry between uses.
Extra Tips & Variations
- This bar also works as a moisturizing body bar or shaving bar
- To add color, mix a small amount of mica powder during step 4
- Keep bars dry between uses to extend their life
- Use with the DIY rose clay shampoo bar kit for eco friendly, natural hair care
