Stem - Natural Shampoo and Conditioner Bar
Stem shampoo and conditioner bar is a premium, plastic-free solid that lathers big, rinses clean, and leaves scalps refreshed and ends soft, without residue. Made with just 7 clean ingredients (sulfate-free, silicone-free, phthalate-free, color-safe, cruelty-free), Stem is designed for oily, fine, color-treated, and sensitive hair types. Scents are naturally sophisticated (Coconut Hinoki, Santal Oak, Lavender Romarin, Aloe Tea Tree) plus Clear (unscented). If you’re comparing the best shampoo bars, Stem pairs salon-quality performance with minimal ingredients for results you can feel on day one.

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Not satisfied? Get every penny back — no questions asked. Try Stem for 60 days. If it's not everything you hoped for, reach out and we'll refund you 100%.
Do I need a conditioner too?
Stem isn't a shampoo — it's a 7-ingredient cleansing treatment with over 30% natural moisturizers built into the formula. It cleans, hydrates, and repairs in a single wash. 87% of users stop using conditioner entirely by week 2.
Most people feel softer, smoother hair after their very first wash. In some cases — especially if your hair has years of silicone buildup from traditional products — it can take a few extra washes for your hair to fully adjust and the results to kick in. That's normal.
Need extra moisture? Let the lather sit for 2 minutes before rinsing — it doubles as a deep conditioning mask.
Is Stem safe for color-treated hair?
Yes. In fact, it extends your color's life. Traditional shampoos use sulfates that roughen the hair cuticle, allowing color molecules to escape and fade. Stem is 100% sulfate-free and pH-balanced. We gently cleanse the surface without disturbing the cuticle, locking your color in longer than standard "color-safe" shampoos.
Is Stem suitable for all hair types?
Yes, because it adapts to your hair's needs. Whether your hair is fine, curly, oily, or dry, the biology is the same—it's the imbalance that causes issues. Stem restores homeostasis. Stem uses bio-mimetic ingredients that adapt to your hair’s needs: providing deep hydration for curls without weighing down fine hair. It restores your natural texture.
Oily Hair? It cleanses without stripping, stopping your scalp from over-producing oil to compensate.
Dry/Curly Hair? It delivers hydration directly to the cortex without heavy silicone coatings.

This is my first time trying Swell Labs products. I bought a shampoo and a body wash..
So far, I've tried the shampoo. I was very impressed with how well it lathered. It smells lovely.
I'm looking forward to using it for Well weeks, see what it does for my hair.
To be honest, I received a sample of the body wash and shampoo, and I didn’t really get how it worked. And then I didn’t realize I was signed up to a subscription, and I wasn’t very happy about that. However, since it was already shipping, I decided to give it a try instead of just returning it. I’m glad I did because then I actually paid attention to how it’s coated in beeswax and how it stays solid in the shower with the cap that helps it to drain. I am already anticipating that when I pack these for a trip, but they will pack up so much better than the bars that I was using. Any other bar that I use inevitably turns to mush when I travel and try to store it somehow between washes. I love both the body wash and the shampoo in the coconut hanoki fragrance. And I was pleasantly surprised that I do not need a conditioner. I wear my hair in a natural curly wavy pattern and I still do use the primer that I was using before, but I was using conditioner before and I don’t see any difference not using it. My hair feels great and is not greasy between washes. I could probably go more days than I do but end up washing it just because I want to refresh my curls more. The body wash is also really great and has a little bit of a built-in exfoliation which feels great. But I can also use it to shave with my Leaf straight razor. The body wash is not super sudsy but I always feel clean. The shampoo does suds up pretty well. Now I am just waiting to see how long they will last me, but I think I will be a return customer!
Shampoo and body wash have been a staple in my gym bag since I received them. I feel clean and moisturized, plus it takes up less space. I plan on ordering mor for upcoming camping trips.
Your shampoo has helped my family tremendously! There are four girls with long thick curly hair! The swell lab shampoo bar has help tame the hair.
I have wanted SWELL to have a body wash for some time and now I have it! It's perfect for my lifestyle, just like the shampoo/conditioner. Reducing plastics in my house/life is important to me so this fits the bill. I'm only giving 4-stars because of the extra effort it takes to get the lather going (but I expected it because the hair product is the same way). But regardless, it smells great and does the job, giving me extra time in the shower, which I enjoy anyway.
I have allergies to most soaps and shampoos. I ordered a shampoo bar and a body wash bar and received them on December 15, 2025. I began using them exclusively since then.
The shampoo bar is everything the advertising says it is. It works wonders on my Grey hair.
I love the smell and the way the body wash cleans. Plus its nice that I have had ZERO allergic reactions to either product.
My only issue is that the bodywash bar is almost gone.
I only shower 2 to 3x per week. The bar is on a shelf away from moisture, sitting right next to the shampoo bar. The shampoo bar is only down around 25%. The shampoo bar is down 90%.
Sadly, it is only lasting me around 30 showers. I WANT to order more body wash, but at this rate, I just cannot justify the cost.
Please tell me there's been a change and the bodywash lasts longer!

So far my hair is adjusting to the Coconut Hinoki. My hair is not shedding as much and not getting as oily as fast and I love the smell.
I absolutely love the aloe shampoo stick and the coconut hinoki body wash stick! They smell amazing and they make my hair feel great and body feels so smooth and hydrated. So far I'm loving it and I'm about a week and a half in.
The twist to remove the wax coating from the outer edge was a bit big for the soap. I had to squeeze it extremely tight in order to rotate and for it to shave the end other than that, the product has been really good. Thank you
I love this body wash. It doesn't lather quite as much as traditional wash, but you don't need it too. I can tell the difference in that I feel clean, with nothing left behind. The coconut scent is amazing.
