Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been used for generations as a natural remedy for hair and scalp health. Made through the fermentation of apple juice, it’s packed with acetic acid, vitamins, and minerals that help gently clarify buildup and restore the natural pH of both the scalp and hair shaft. In traditional routines, many use ACV rinses after shampooing to leave hair soft, shiny, and manageable—especially in hard water areas.

At Simply Bliss, we use apple cider vinegar twice in our solid shampoo recipe. First, we use it instead of water during formulation to ensure every bar starts with nourishing intent. Then, we bring it in again post-saponification as part of the conditioning phase, helping balance the final product and bring out the best in your hair—no bottle or plastic needed. It’s one of those smart swaps that aligns beautifully with our mission: practical, natural, and better for moms and the planet.
