kitsch
kitsch make solid bars for the whole shower — shampoo and conditioner in seven formulas, a charcoal body wash bar and an exfoliating sugar scrub bar.
Two of them do double duty: the Ultra Sensitive shampoo doubles as a body wash, and its conditioner doubles as a shave bar.

The bars that do two jobs
The Ultra Sensitive pair is the interesting one. The shampoo bar is sold as a shampoo and body wash, and the conditioner bar doubles as a shave bar — so two bars can genuinely cover a whole shower.
That makes them the obvious travel choice: two solid bars, no bottles, nothing to declare at security, and nothing to leak.
A note on the purple bar
Purple shampoo deposits violet pigment to cancel the yellow that blonde, grey and highlighted hair drifts towards. Use it in place of your normal shampoo once or twice a week rather than every wash — toning builds up, and daily use can leave very pale hair faintly lilac.
The matching purple conditioner bar carries biotin, and is not a toner, so it can be used every time.
Body bars, and where to start
The charcoal body wash bar and the sugar scrub bar cover the rest of the shower. If you are unsure which formula suits you, the 6-piece sampler is the low-risk way in — it works out cheaper than buying a full bar you turn out not to like.
