Cooki Haircare is an Australian company, with all orders shipped from our warehouse in sunny Sydney. For information about where our products are made, read more here.
Yes, all of our Cooki formulas are proudly vegan, cruelty free, gluten free and palm oil free. None of our products are tested on animals, and no orangutan's home was destroyed in the making of our products.
Yes, we do! We offer a range of conditioner bars here. Each one is made to leave your hair soft, smooth, and tangle-free - they're designed to be mixed and matched, so either pick your favourite scent or match it to your shampoo bar.
All Cooki shampoo and conditioner bars are colour-safe on highlighted hair. For darker hair dyes or bright colours such as purple, red or blue, we recommend using our Rice Water Protein Shampoo Bar, which is actively colour-protective and designed to help defend against colour fading while gently cleansing the hair. This can be matched with any of our conditioner bars. We also have our best selling Purple Toning shampoo and matching conditioner bar specifically for blonde, grey or highlighted hair, which help to neutralise brassy yellow tones.
We’re so glad you’re here. For post-chemo care, we have a collection of low tox, gentle products, from our gentlest Coconut Shampoo to our stimulating Cinnamon and Ginger Shampoo Bars for helping combat any hair thinning. Check out our full Post-Chemo Haircare Range here. Cooki bars are deeply nourishing, free from nasties, and specially formulated to gently cleanse and hydrate fragile or regrowing hair - restoring softness, strength, and shine one wash at a time.
Great question! Just like regular conditioner doesn't lather, our conditioner bars are not designed to foam. Instead, they are a solid block of oils which you use to 'paint' directly onto your hair. Check out this video for instructions on how to activate and get the most out your conditioner. You’ll feel the softness as it melts in - no bubbles needed!
The best part is, each conditioner bar lasts many months - they're incredibly economical. They're also very lightweight and won't weigh down your hair, so if you have fine or limp hair that tends to go flat with heavy creams, you'll absolutely love Cooki conditioner bars.
All our bars are proudly low tox and contain no parabens, phenoxyethanol, phthalates, silicones, PEGs or synthetic fragrance. If you’re playing it super safe and are also looking to avoid essential oils during pregnancy, we suggest you go for our Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner or our Argan Shampoo, which contain no essential oils. (Please note, the Argan & Jasmine Conditioner does have Jasmine Essential Oil).
Our sulfate-free Rice Water Protein Shampoo Bar is specifically formulated for keratin-treated or permed hair, and can be safely paired with any of our conditioner bars. This shampoo is also colour-protective on dark or bright (pink/blue/red) hair dye, helping to reduce premature colour fade. All other Cooki shampoo bars including this one are safe to use on highlights.
