Powder-to-Foam Magic
It's easier than you think!
Your Questions
-
Our powder-to-foam formulas create less waste and have less weight (meaning less travel related emissions). They also require no hot processing, saving energy in production.
We'd been using shampoo bars for many years but were getting tired of their squishy, slippery nature and decided make something different. We came across a powdered face wash and the idea was born!
Powder-to-foam products are much easier to use and store than their solid counterparts whilst still significantly reducing waste and emissions - plus we can squeeze in all of the hair loving ingredients you love from your favourite salon shampoos into one tiny bottle. -
This depends on how much hair you have (both length and thickness).
We recommend about a ten cent sized piece for fine, shoulder length as a reference point.
Just like any shampoo it will take a bit of trial and error to figure out how much you personally need. -
Our new formulas (as of October 2024) are all sulphate free.
Whilst we don't believe there is anything wrong with sulphates (read more here), we've found that different surfactants tend to work better for our powder formulas as they're more finely milled and less prone to attracting moisture into the bottle.
The bonus is - if you tend to find shampoos with sulphates too harsh then these are worth giving a go! -
Whilst the ingredients lists of our products would meet most people's definitions of natural or clean, we try to stay away from those claims for that reason - everyone has a different definition and there is no consensus on what these terms actually mean.
We don't want to imply that other products are 'dirty' or unsafe, we want you to use our products because you love them, not because there is fear about other products on the market. That would be dishonest and unfair!We also try to stay away from 'free from' claims unless we think they are particularly relevant to our customers e.g. common allergies like aluminium salts.
-
A full size bottle will last about the same time as four small bottles of shampoo and is equivalent to around 700-800mL of liquid product.
How long it lasts in terms of months will depend on how much hair you have and how frequently you wash.
If your bottle is lasting significantly less time than you think it should, try using less and adding more water to your hair to lather.
If you are prone to oiliness or have been sweating you may find that the shampoo lathers a little less. This doesn't mean that it's not cleaning. If you want a good lather you can wash a second time with a very small amount of powder for that satisfying bubble!
-
We recommend our Nourish Shampoo for very sensitive skin / scalp as it contains our gentlest surfactant blend.
It also contains Allantoin, Erythritol, Betaine, Panthenol, Vitamin E and Lecithin (yep, it's a long list!) to soothe the scalp and reduce irritation.
Whilst this is your best bet unfortunately people can be allergic to almost anything so we recommend trying a small size first - if you still have issues with Nourish and skin sensitivity please stop use and let us know. -
We are currently working on sourcing kerbside recyclable pouches to house refills - these will be 100g and will fill a bottle twice.
We have previously tried home compostable refills but found that they didn't hold up for long enough to be useful. We've also consulted with a waste management expert about the best options and have decided that kerbside recyclable is more likely to be useful for the majority of people, as not everyone has access to composting facilities. We also have questions about the actual compostability of these products in ordinary household conditions. -
Of course! We're happy to say that all of our products are both vegan friendly and cruelty free.

This is up to you! Depending on your hair length and type you may or may not prefer to use a conditioner.
Our shampoos contain conditioning polymers which can be enough for people with fine or short hair, but others with longer or thicker hair will probable prefer to also use a conditioner.
Keep an eye out in 2025 for our conditioner range - coming soon!

I received a sample of the new version of this shampoo in my deodorant order. I wasn’t really sure about it but I used it anyway so it didn’t go to waste - and I have to say, wow! I am really surprised at how good this was. I have oily hair and usually have to wash every couple of days whereas with this shampoo I was able to go 4 days (and probably could have pushed another). My hair is smooth and frizz free - I have a damaged patch of hair at the nape of my neck due to elastic hair ties and even that area was much smoother and less frizzy than normal.
Now a loyal deodorant and shampoo customer. Just placed my preorder and looking forward to it!
Hoping that there will be refills at some point, as the only minus is that I wouldn’t want to have to buy a bottle every time as my shampoo bars come in cardboard which I compost.

Such an amazing shampoo in general. The powder melts down gorgeously
S
This actually works for naturally straight and unfortunately greasy hair. So glad to find this product! Great for hair and the packaging is kind to the planet too.
J
Loved it!

The everyday powder to foam shampoo left my hair feeling really soft and silky after washing it which I love! The scent of the product is also really nice and not too overpowering. I love how lightweight yet durable the bottle is and the design of the packaging it really cute! I also got a sample of their zest deodorant stick which I am excited to try out!

This shampoo is the best purchase I have made. Purchased for my husband it has solved a very oily problem. I was having to soak pillow S
slips before washing after only 3 days. Not anymore. This stuff is just brilliant. Highly recommend.
A
I tried the discovery set and prefer the nourish as I have a sensitive scalp. The others performed well but I think this was the most gentle and felt the best for me. Thanks.
A
purchased this set to try before taking camping. Leaves hair shiny. Rinses out easily and no need for conditioner. Hubby has very oily hair and that one has helped him tremendously. Wonderful product
A
Great to be able to trial all three. I found the balance the best for me so will be reordering that one. I have oily hair and work an outside job where I get quite sweaty so I expected that would be the case. Great job and would love to see a body wash with salycilic acid too.
S
I would love to complete an honest review but my purchase only left your warehouse yesterday. And I had to chase it to get it actioned. Since I am in Qld myself, this was rather disappointing. Hopefully the product washes away the initial regret.
Hi Stephen, I'm so sorry for the delay and that the store break wasn't communicated properly. That's my mistake. I've given you some store credit to use next time. I hope you enjoy your products and would love to hear what you think of them when you have a change to try them. :)

I found it difficult to use compared to regular shampoo it didn't really clean my hair
Hi Sarah, thanks for letting me know and I’m so sorry you’re not loving it!
I've sent you an email to try and identify your order as I couldn't find it under your email address or first name. I’d love to know when you received it to figure out if it’s the latest formula.
I’ve updated the formula over the last few months and am quite happy with where’s it’s at now in terms of foaming and cleansing ability although I do totally get that it's a bit of a different experience - the one big difference vs. liquid shampoo is that you need to make sure your hair is *very* wet since there is no water in the formula. You can dip your head back into the shower if you find it’s not foaming as much as you’d like. It should clean well as it contains all of the same ingredients as a regular liquid shampoo (just without the water) - I’m really sorry to hear that hasn’t been your experience!
I would love to work with you to get some more detailed feedback to help improve the formula if you have the time! Happy to send out a replacement and / or the Balance formula (which is a bit stronger in terms of cleaning power) - just contact me with your order details and we’ll hopefully be able to improve your experience! ☺️
Candice.

I have been looking for ages for a low waste product but I have high standards, lol. I tried some shampoo bars but I kept reverting back to my fave shampoo from my hairdresser which is in plastic bottles. What I love about this product is that I can reduce my plastic waste and still get a high quality wash. I’ve used shampoo bars in the past and never felt like they stacked up against my salon fave (plus the squishy bars were a pain) but this formula really leaves my hair feeling great and is convenient to use! Hoping refills are available by the time I place my next order (hint hint). :)
S
Have also tried other "flavours" of Goodeau shampoo and they all smell great and wash my hair really well - much less messy than shampoo bars.
M
I bought this at the Brisbane Made Local Market and I LOOOOVE this product! My hair has been so soft, shiny and healthy, and I've had many people ask me what products and treatments I'm using to achieve these results. Smells beautiful, foams really well and leaves your hair soft, shiny and bouncy for days. I'm finding I only need to wash my hair once or twice a week, as this formula is really clarifying. I have sensitive skin as well and find the formula to be really gentle. No itching, flaking or irritation on my scalp. I can't wait until this brand brings a conditioner product out because I will be first in line!! Love love love.
K
Still working through the bottle as it will take ages to get through ( a great thing!) Smells good, works well and is a fabulous idea! I am in! Every product I have eve had from Goodeau has been amazing. Love them!
j
Great powder, lathers up nicely and as I have long thick hair it works well. Great for travelling. No leakages. Eco friendly if you're aiming for a zero waste lifestyle. Trial pack is great if you're trialling new products. Will buy again

I picked this up recently at the Made Local market in Brisbane. I’m a long time user of the GoodEau deodorant and wanted to try their shampoo. It exceeded my expectations!
My scalp can get pretty greasy when I wash it every other day, and this shampoo got rid of the grease effortlessly but crucially it didn’t strip my hair dry like some shampoos can. My hair feels soft and clean after using this shampoo and stay clean for longer too. I’m a convert and have already placed an order for more!
Y
I was sent a sample of this with my last deodorant order and only got around to trying it recently. It’s fantastic! I was my hair every other day and by the time I wash it again my scalp can get pretty greasy. This shampoo took care of the grease without stripping my hair and making it super dry. My hair feels so soft and clean after washing, and I’ve found that my hair stays clean for longer too compared to when I use my shampoo bars and liquid shampoo. I’ve just bought another two bottles of shampoo! Super handy for travelling too.
K
I just purchased this for the first time, such a great product! Smells great, easy to use and my sensitive skin didn't react to it at all. To top it off the packaging is plastic free. I can't recommend this shampoo enough.
A
Super fun and interesting product! Looking forward to using it on my overseas trip.
J
To keep a long story short, I loved using this and I will be permanently switching to it from the shampoo I used to buy in the salon.
To make a short story long, these are the reasons why I'll be doing this:
- smaller bottle due to less water means it takes up less space on my shower shelf (which is forever cluttered)
- it's better for the environment (water-wise and by using refillable packaging)
- it smells AMAZING
- it actually cleans my hair (very important in a shampoo haha) - for context, I have super thick hair and this cuts right through the greasiness in the same way my salon-bought shampoo does
- it leaves my scalp feeling nice and non-itchy
- it is made locally so less product in transit for a shorter distance is another win for the environment
- it is actually pretty fun foaming it up, and it lathers really well!
Definitely worth a try in my eyes - I'll be back! :)
D
All good so far. Seems to go a long way for short hair.
J
Got a mini with my deodorant order and loved it! I didn’t think that little bottle would really last long but when you start sprinkling it it puffs up and there’s heaps left in the bottle. Will definitely be back to buy the full size. :)
J
I was one of the people lucky enough to give this shampoo a go before it was launched (thanks Candice)! I have to say, what a great creation! I think it’s a perfect alternative to shampoo bars especially for travelling. Like shampoo bars it takes a few times of using to get used to it then it’s a breeze. My hair is nice and soft and have noticed more smoothness overall after using it for a few weeks. I use conditioner every second or third time I wash (looking forward to a powder conditioner hopefully!?). I think it will last me a very long time too, I’ve been using it for about a a month and when I open it it still looks pretty much full!
Overall, a great idea and I really like it! Thanks again! :)
Jane.
