Gentle Enough for a Sensitive Scalp. Effective Enough to Actually Clean.
If your scalp reacts to most shampoos — itching, flaking, redness, or irritation that seems to have no clear cause — the formula is usually the problem. Sulphates, synthetic fragrance, and preservative cocktails are the most common culprits. The Myrtle Baby’s Breath Bar removes all of them. It is a sulphate-free, fragrance-free formula built around lavender and cedarwood essential oils — calming, antimicrobial, and gentle enough for daily use on the most reactive scalps.
More details
What Is the Myrtle Baby’s Breath Bar?
A solid shampoo bar formulated for sensitive skin and scalp. The name reflects its intention — a formula light and gentle enough to cause no reaction, even for the most reactive skin. Every ingredient was selected with sensitivity in mind: no sulphates, no synthetic fragrance, no unnecessary actives that might trigger a response. What remains is a clean, effective wash that works without the disruption that conventional shampoos cause to a sensitive scalp. Here is what every ingredient in the Myrtle range actually does.
What’s In It
The Baby’s Breath Bar is built around lavender essential oil for its calming, antimicrobial, and scalp-soothing properties, cedarwood essential oil to balance oil production and reduce scalp inflammation, and peppermint essential oil for gentle scalp stimulation and cooling relief from irritation. Hydrolysed jojoba protein strengthens the hair without adding weight, and coconut oil provides light nourishment without clogging the scalp. The sulphate-free base cleanses gently and thoroughly. For the full breakdown of every ingredient, see the ingredient list below.
Who It’s For
The right bar if you:
- Have a sensitive or reactive scalp that itches, flakes, or reddens easily
- React to synthetic fragrance in most conventional or even ‘natural’ hair products
- Deal with eczema, psoriasis, or seborrheic dermatitis and need a formula that won’t aggravate it
- Are postpartum or experiencing hormonally driven scalp sensitivity
- Want a gentle daily wash that can be used frequently without over-stripping the scalp
How to Use
Sensitive scalps benefit from consistency. Give the bar two to three weeks before judging results — the scalp needs time to stabilise after transitioning from conventional products.
- Wet hair thoroughly and apply the lather gently using fingertip pressure only — no nails.
- Focus on the scalp and rinse thoroughly. Avoid hot water, which can aggravate sensitivity.
- Pat dry gently — rough towel drying increases irritation on a reactive scalp.
- Follow with the Myrtle Condition Your Crown Conditioner Bar if the lengths need conditioning — avoid the scalp itself if it is actively irritated.
| Patch test recommended for severely reactive scalps — apply a small amount to the inner wrist before first use. Store on a draining soap dish away from water to extend bar life. |
Complete the Routine
Pair with the Myrtle Condition Your Crown Conditioner Bar on the lengths if needed. For a deeper weekly treatment, the Myrtle Restoration Mask — Heal Your Crown is formulated gently enough for sensitive hair types and helps restore moisture balance over time.
