About HiBAR

HiBAR is a Minneapolis brand founded in 2018 by a trio who met as parents and bonded over cutting single-use plastic from the bathroom. It makes concentrated solid bars for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and face wash, plus deodorants, with no plastic bottle.

The brand is Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free, confirmed in that program's registry, and states its bars are free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and silicones. Its pitch is plastic-free packaging in recyclable paper and tubes rather than the lowest price, and it sits in the mid range.
