Bottle None
Bottle None name their range by what you want it to do — be YOU, be BOLD, be BRIGHT, be CLEAR, be Strong — with a shampoo bar and a conditioner bar in each, so the pairing is decided for you.
Beyond hair there is an aluminum-free deodorant including a baking soda-free option, and a dry shampoo in two shades.
More about Bottle None
How the “be” range works
Each name is a job rather than a scent, and every shampoo bar has a conditioner bar to match it.
| Pair | Choose it for |
|---|---|
| be YOU | All hair types — the default if nothing else applies |
| be BOLD | Curly and thick hair needing moisture and shine |
| be BRIGHT | Blonde, red or grey hair |
| be CLEAR | Oily hair and scalp — the deep clean |
| be Strong | Fine or damaged hair needing body |
There is also be WILD, a 3-in-1 hair and body bar — one bar for the whole shower, which is the one to pack rather than the one for daily use at home.
Baking soda-free deodorant, and why that matters
Baking soda is what makes many natural deodorants work, and it is also the single most common cause of the itching and redness people blame on “natural deodorant not agreeing with them”. It is alkaline, and underarm skin is not.
Bottle None's Blossom is formulated without it. If you have tried natural deodorant before and reacted, that is the one to try rather than concluding the whole category is not for you.
Dry shampoo comes in two shades
Powder dry shampoos leave a pale cast on dark hair, which is why there are separate light and dark formulas here. Match the formula to your hair rather than buying the one on the shelf.
Work it into the roots with fingertips and give it a minute to absorb before brushing it through.
Getting the most from a bar
Rub the shampoo bar on the scalp, then lather with your hands; run the conditioner bar down the lengths only. Both need to dry out between washes — a bar left sitting in water is the only thing that really shortens its life.
