$500 CashJ.R.LIGGETT'S new "ULTRA BALANCED" Bar Shampoo.
 
We are incredibly thrilled and excited to finally reveal our newest bar... our brand new Ultra Balanced Unscented Shampoo bar for all hair types, from J.R.LIGGETT'S! This bar is going to make your life less complicated, and so much easier and better... you are going to be shouting from the rooftop about the quality, the savings, the utter simplicity, how it's earth and environmentally friendly, and good for young, old, in-between, indeed, for future generations... in short, a 'surefire hit'. The words, "Where have you been all my life?" are going to reverberate around the world!

All those late nights that Jim has spent burning the midnight organic oil, have resulted in an incredible leap forward with a breakthrough product that we can't say enough about. Formula is the key here; jojoba---that 'wonder' oil that is closest to our own natural hair oil, is the main ingredient and the essence of the Ultra-Balanced Bar. Jojoba normalizes your hair's moisture and maintains it's balance, so it works for all people, all hair types. Hair too oily? It tones it down. Too dry? It enhances oil production. Huge additional bonus: unscented-- therefore it's simply terrific for skin and breathing allergies. We're bombarded with enough aromas throughout the day, that it's refreshing not be presented with one more hit on the olfactory senses. Sparkling fresh New Hampshire spring water, soothing almond oil, olive oil, moisturizing castor oil, coconut oil and sodium hydroxide (a binder) complete the ingredients of the Ultra-Balanced bar, enabling your hair to simply fall into place and be at it's natural best. For all this bar does, you are not going to want to use anything else. Shine, baby, shine!

On a scale of 1 to 10, I found this format---a bar shampoo, to top out around a 10 plus. It's an incredible time saver. I like to say, 'One bar does it all'. Since the ingredients will not strip your hair's natural oil, you can forget the conditioner!. And here's what else you can fly right past as you breeze through the store: shaving cream, body wash, body & hand soap, special facial cleansers, and (of course) the liquid shampoos--wrapped in all that plastic! I know, we're so used to the liquid shampoo, but it's time for a fresh, enlightened, and intelligent choice! Liquids can be a mess...using too much, spilling, running down your arms.. literally money down the drain!

And mind you, this is not simply shampoo...it's mild, moisturizing, and balanced formula will replace your shave cream, all soaps, and perhaps even body lotions. Do you realize how incredibly simple this could make your life? When baby's in the tub, this bar does double duty for hair and body. It's a simple, portion perfect, choice for anyone in the shower. Throw it in the sports bag for quick and easy showering after a work-out at the gym, or simply find that tranquility and absence of stress that you crave after a long day taking care of other's needs. Actually, you don't have to come up with any excuse to immerse yourself in an experience that will transport you to a new level of being... believe me, we'll understand.

Venturing into the great outdoors? You're going to feel great about the bar's 100% biodegradable attributes... you'll have a clear conscience when using it for washing up dishes, your body, or even a few small items of clothing, as not only is the soap harmless to the environment, but the wrapper is biodegradable too! In relation to this bar, the 'pack it in and pack it out' rule is, I now here-by declare, 'null and void'. We're talking zero waste here!

You're familiar with the phrase, 'everything but the kitchen sink'? Whether it's a week long road trip, camping trip, or flying to visit relatives, there's so much to remember... clothes, shoes, food, meds, equipment, snacks, whatever... (you're thinking, good grief, we may as well put the house on wheels...), but you've got places to go, people to see, memories to make--don't weigh yourself down with more than you need!  Pack J.R.LIGGETT'S Ultra-Balanced shampoo bar and you have eliminated the weight, bulk, mess, and inconvenience of approximately half of your toiletries! It's a traveling no-brainer! Simply fantastic!

We're not forgetting our parents and older loved ones here. They've worked hard, sacrificed for us, and some have traversed a long and difficult path. We want to make choices easy for them, we want them to be safe, and enjoy time with family and friends. We care about them and want them to live a good, quality life. The Ultra-balanced bar will fit their needs perfectly. The best of ingredients. Simplified decisions. No fussing with liquids, no skin sensitivity issues and excellent for all hair types. Smaller can be better, simpler, easier, and even safer to manage.

There are so many incredible virtues in this product. The best quality. Concentrated cleaning. Value in a long lasting bar that excels in every shape and form. You will find a perfect, soft lather, and ease in rinsing as there is no chemical residue--and you'll even use less water as a result. Sometimes, one of the most simple and delicious pleasures in life can simply be a great shampoo. The process is rejuvenating and restorative, the end result is phenomenal---truly a 'win-win' situation for all involved. There's actually an 'easy elegance' to this that effects your state of mind!

Bottom line, we want to look good and do good for ourselves, our family, and the environment. We want to share the wisdom we've gained in life so others can make smarter choices. When we find a business and a product that goes above and beyond to meet our needs and closely held values at the deepest level, we want to tell others--we must tell others. Yes, this one product can exist for future generations... we owe it to them.

Now, you're armed with all the information you need. You know the how and the why. You've got the facts! Make that shopping list and place your's and your loved one's needs where they belong by choosing J.R.LIGGETT'S Ultra-Balanced Shampoo Bar as top priority ... your body will love you for it!

The new "Ultra Balanced" Bars will be for sale starting June 1st, 2010

    "Hej" from Sweden!

                          Stephan and Kristina Sundström
                          Simply Natural, Sweden


I
n 2006 we bought a bar of J.R.LIGGETT'S Old-fashioned shampoo from an Internet shop. It sounded almost too good to be true: a shampoo in the form of a practical bar which was all-natural and earth-friendly. We just had to try it! That was four years ago. Today we own and run Simply Natural, a business which imports the bars to Sweden.

 
We started up our business because the retailer that carried the bars closed down their Internet shop, and we felt that these bars were just too good to miss out on. We thought they were great and we were sure that other people over here in Scandinavia would think so, too.
 
Today we sell the bars and J.R.LIGGETT'S other products through our web shop, but we also have over forty retailers across Sweden who carry them.
 
Shampoo bars are something quite unknown here in our country. Some people are skeptical at first, wondering if washing their hair with a "soap" could really work. Others can't wait to try something new, especially since it seems so practical.
 
Sweden is a country that takes great pride in its "green" profile. We recycle, we take the bike to work whenever possible, we teach the children how to make a compost already in kindergarten, and we tend to choose organic over non-organic food as often as we can. J.R.LIGGETT'S shampoo bars fit right in with this line of thinking. We are noticing a growing interest in the products from clients of all ages, from 15 to 85. Yes, it is a process and people don't change overnight - old habits and so on. In general, women seem to be somewhat more difficult to convince than men. However, we do have many customers who are mothers to young children; they want to make the right choice in order to reduce the number of toxins that their children are exposed to from an early age. Good on them! Also, the ongoing discussions of climate change and the importance of making conscious decisions when it comes to the products we use in our daily lives have led more and more people to realize what an invaluable product this really is.
 
It feels great to know that what we are selling is something that is beneficial to both the customer and the environment, now and in the future. And the result our customers get from using the shampoo bars - thick, healthy hair with lots of volume and shine - is what makes them come back, time after time.
 
     "Hej då"
               Stephan and Kristina

 


UsedShelf     "Use it up,
  wear it out. Make it do, or do without."


This is all about respect for our resources, and ultimately respect for ourselves. My guess is that there are very few bars of J.R.LIGGETT'S Bar Shampoo that don't get completely used up. Not left sitting on a shelf with a myriad of bottled products to wait for its turn to be used. This unassuming bar of shampoo stands by itself and most people recognize that fact.
 
J.R.LIGGETT'S has received so many letters from excited users exclaiming it is the only shampoo they now use, when their showers used to support 3,4,5 or more different "bottles" of shampoos and conditioners. It's not only a great shampoo; it in most instances eliminates any need for even a "bottle" of conditioner. In this, it creates a transformation in people, once they notice the economy of using a single product for their hair, that concept can actually extend to other venues. Simplifying one's life.
 
Simple is better, and it proves out every time. For example just reading the ingredients list you don't have to be a nuclear scientist to see just what is in this shampoo. Try going to the store, picking up a bottle of shampoo and having the slightest idea of what they are putting in it (actually that might be the idea). J.R.LIGGETT'S shampoo just contains simple edible vegetable oils, sodium hydroxide (which is lye that used to come from wood ashes), and pure spring water. Maybe some essential oils for fragrance and there you have it - simple isn't it.
 
Simple also extends to the way you conduct your life. For instance with all the headaches and problems associated with traveling anymore, just bringing along J.R.LIGGETT'S shampoo is all you have to do to take care of all your personal cleaning needs. Wash your hair, wash your body, shave, and even wash your socks and underg$500 Casharments at night so they are ready to wear again the next day, clean and smelling wonderful! You also can pack fewer clothes to take with you, think of the exertion you are saving not having to lug the added weight! Either pack a Natural Traveler with a full size bar in your carry on or slip our new Mini Traveler with a couple of Mini Travel Bars in it, slip it in your pocket and off you go   - simple isn't it.
 
Saving time, also is simple when you use J.R.LIGGETT'S shampoo bar. It takes no time to run it through your hair a couple of times, create a terrific lather and wash it out. Presto! You're done. And yet one more time saving sidelight, it seems that most people who use the shampoo would agree that the longer you use it, the less often you have to wash your hair. Why? The oils produced and supplied by your scalp after awhile realize that they are not going to be completely removed (by a detergent) and start to regulate the amount secreted. Thus people with oily hair or dry hair conditions often simply normalize, meaning that the oils are regulated to give your hair just the amount it needs to keep it healthy and vital.

Now there is one last labor, cost, and time saver related to J.R.LIGGETT'S shampoo. Giving it away as gifts to friends and family for their birthday, anniversary, Christmas, Hanukkah, going away on a trip, away to college, or "simply" because you like them and want the best for them.

One thing it may not save on though is haircuts. In fact J.R.LIGGETT'S has gotten letters from dedicated users proclaiming the fact that their hair had started to grow again. We can't testify to this, but it does save you money, time, and trouble in most all other arenas. With life being complicated enough, you can count on J.R.LIGGETT'S to "keep it simple".

   Having this much fun
           makes time fly on by!


It has been nearly 30 years now since we first came out with our Original Shampoo Bar and Shampoo Shelf that came with a bar of Original Shampoo inside it, the first two products that started our company. I remember walking into the Bedford, NY Natural Foods store (back then called a "Health Food" store) and meeting with the manager. I told him all about my shampoo, gave him a sample to try and some literature with prices. He went home that evening and tried it and the next day I got a call with our first order. I think that store is gone now, but we are still here.
 
Living in New York at that time, I called up 100 stores in New York City and did the same as I had done in Bedford. Told them about my shampoo, sent out samples and out of  the 100 stores I got 75 orders. I thought that was pretty good.
 
Well a lot has change since then. Our products are now widely distributed to Natural Food stores all over the nation by the largest distributors in the US, and now we even have distributors in Sweden and South Korea selling our shampoo and other products.
 
It is quite interesting seeing our newest "Ultra Balanced" Shampoo Bar just being introduced. So much has changed but on the other hand so much has stayed exactly the same, like the letters I receive weekly. They are just as refreshing now as they were almost 30 years ago. There are so many people right now, for the first time, just discovering  the wonders of JR LIGGETT'S Bar Shampoo.

Now there are blogs, browsers, Facebook, Twitter, websites, all brought on by the Internet to spread the word. Back in the beginning there was only word of mouth as we didn't have money to put toward advertising. I still consider word of mouth to be the best form of advertising, it seems people simply can't resist sharing something good with the ones they care about.

 
On the horizon we are coming out soon with another great item to make traveling with our shampoo easier yet so stay tuned! It shouldn't be long at all, we just keep having fun with it!

Thank you!
