Base Ethical Soaps - Clean Conscience. Clean Skin.

The Cleansing Shampoo Bar for Oily Hair is targeted, no-nonsense haircare built for those who need a deeper clean. Formulated specifically to tackle excess oil at the root, it rebalances the scalp without over-stripping, breaking the cycle of greasiness that conventional shampoos so often make worse. Cleaner for longer — that's the difference a bar made properly can make.

What began as a batch of Christmas gifts grew into something far more meaningful. Founded by a husband-and-wife team, one a PhD chemist, the other a passionate advocate for ethical living, Base Ethical Soaps has been handcrafting tens of thousands of bars and liquid soaps annually since 2017.

The ethos is disarmingly simple: give people the personal care products they use every day, made properly, with the most local, ethical and high-quality Australian ingredients possible.

A Social Enterprise With Purpose

Base is more than a soap company. As a social enterprise, profits flow directly into health projects for Australian communities. Every bar you buy contributes to something larger than a clean bathroom shelf — it funds real impact, right here at home.

Inspired by the Australian Landscape

Australia's climate can be unforgiving — heat, humidity and long days that put your hair to the test. The Cleansing Shampoo Bar for Oily Hair was made with that reality in mind. Hardworking, honest and effective, just like the land and the people that inspire every Base product.

Natural. Vegan. Cruelty Free.

Every product is handcrafted from all-natural ingredients, entirely vegan and never tested on animals. The result is a range that works hard and remains gentle on your hair and scalp — because what's good for the planet should feel good on your body.

Sustainably Made

From ingredient sourcing to packaging, Base treads lightly. Switching to a shampoo bar is one of the simplest swaps you can make for the planet — no plastic, no waste, no compromise on performance. Natural formulations, sustainable materials and a genuine commitment to minimising environmental footprint sit at the heart of every decision made in their workshop.

Our family, our community, our planet — we are all connected. Base Ethical Soaps exists to honour that connection, one bar at a time.
