+1 - there is a Lush near me but all the perfume sets my allergies off!
So where else can we purchase this wonder product?
Convention? what's that then? Airnimal Chameleon touring, Orbit Pro hack, Orbit Photon audax, Focus Mares AX tour, Peugeot Carbon sportive, Owen Blower vintage race - all running Tulio's finest!

But if you have allergies, then I have no knowledge of that.
Don't get too excited, it's a shampoo bar, not a chain lube bar

There are a few companies that sell similar items, if you google melt and pour solid shampoo some will come up. I got mine from a shop in Bury St Edmunds (no longer there) in a 1kg tub.
Lush used to sell mail order too. I expect they use the internet now. I know what yor mean about the shops reeking of perfume. Not everything they sell is hypoallergenic and green, for sure!
I expect the Green Parrot in Swaffham and Rainbow in Norwich would sell solid shampoos. They've been popular in "greener" shops for ages because solids use less oil than liquid hair soaps.

That's another reason why I went off soaps and shampoos. If you research there are a number of things that could be setting off your "allergies" that soaps contain: - Phthalate - is the chemical that locks the perfume into the soaps - Sodium Lauryl Sulfate - makes it foamy and could be an irritant - Parabens - preservative and can also be an irritant

Whatever it is, someone dosed in perfume on the bus sets me off! More subtle perfumes don't bother me - it's the amount rather than the basic presence that I don't do!

I was finding it hard to understand this thread initially. I thought it was some new gimmick handlebar design......who wants a solid handlebar I was thinking & what has perfume got to do with it?
Got rid of my drops & fitted a set of solid shampoo bars, great for touring & much better than those butterflies!!
Very cheap, the absence of perfumes and moisturisers and things means it works a lot better as soap, and the end of the bar is just the same as the start, without any of the drying up and cracking you get with more regular perfumed bars. I usually have a half used bar put aside for touring, to cut weight.
Soap or water or whatever is on my face. No adverse comments from my wife who is quick to take offence if my eyebrows so much as wander. No2 haircut here as well and receding.

Gotta agree with you .... I strongly dislike artificial perfume smells. Worst is when someone is covered in it and hug you, therefore making you smell of them

Lush has shops, body shop probably does them. You May find them in Holland & Barret. Otherwise you will need to find an independent shop.
