Denttabs – Toothpaste Tablets
Toothpaste Tablets
Denttabs are amazing tooth tablets that have simple, organic ingredients that polish the teeth instead of abraise the surface. A polished, smooth mouth is less likely to harbour germs.
These organic tablets are FREE of bleach, builders, and preservatives. They not only provide a better clean for the teeth’s surface, but also ease sensitivity in teeth by polishing and smoothing the surface. Get the look and feel of a professional clean each morning and night with just your brush at home.
These package-free toothpaste tablets are available in flouride or non-flouride variety, with a natural menthol flavour. If the menthol is too strong, you can leave them in the open air to lessen the intensity.
Natural Shampoo Bar (All hair types)
Would you like to be more environmentally friendly? Reduce the amount of chemicals you’re using on your body? Try something new? Well, our shampoo bars may be for you!
Made using only ingredients you can pronounce, these bars are gentle on your scalp. They clean your hair without detergent, sodium laurel sufate (SLS), or any other nasty chemicals.
You’ll notice these bars lather really well; as well as other shampoo, and without the potentially harmful chemicals you will find in commercial shampoos. You’ll still get lovely clean hair, though it may take a while to adjust. It takes between one and six weeks for your hair to stop ‘freaking out’ so to speak. Stick with it! It will adjust.
In the meantime, maybe try an acid rinse. Mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with around 250mls of water. Once you’ve washed and rinsed your hair, tip this solution over you head, and leave for 1-2 minutes. Do this maybe twice a week for the first couple of weeks, then less as time goes on. This will prevent any build up of soap, and leave your hair shiny. This should also deter dandruff if this is an issue for you.
Shampoo bar ingredients: Olive oil, distilled water, coconut oil, mango butter, sodium hydroxide, castor oil, essential/fragrance oils.
Lasts for approximately 35 washes
Activated Charcoal Acne Face Soap
A mild soap particularly useful for acne prone skin.
Activated charcoal – Attracts toxins like a magnet!
Sea salt – Purifying, draws out nasties
Bentonite clay – Cleanses, unclogs pores, softens skin
Ingredients: Coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, sodium hydroxide, water, activated charcoal, sea salt, bentonite clay, essential oils of lavender, tea-tree, peppermint, and rosemary

Natural Lip Balm Stick
Natural Lip Balm
Lip balm! But not as you know it. This natural lip balm comes in a cardboard tube which is compostable at the end of its life. No plastic in sight!
These are the perfect size to stash in your bag.
Why Buy It?
- It’s about as natural as you can get.
- There are only 4 ingredients, and you can pronounce them all. No chemical nasties here.
- It’s portable and easy to use. Just push up from the bottom.
- It comes in a cardboard tube! Win for the environment!
Solid Conditioning Bar
***The vanilla bar will discolour to brown with use. This is the effect vanilla has in solid bars and does not affect the function of the bar***
Solid Conditioning Bars Are Here!
This product is one many of you have asked about for a couple of years now. Finally it’s here!
It’s basically like the conditioner we’ve traditionally bought in bottles, but in solid form, and with fewer ingredients.
How Do I Use It?
These conditioning bars are pretty easy to use. I’ve made them a square shape so you can easily differentiate them from the shampoo bars. They’re also a handy size to hold in your hand.
- Wet your hair
- Shampoo as normal (Or not, if you don’t need to do this as frequently)
- Hold the conditioning bar in your hand and glide it through your hair between 3-6 times. This is obviously different for everyone. Trial and error will help you figure out how many strokes work best for you.
- Root to tip? I have a shorter hair style. Therefore, I glide it from root to tip. However, if your hair is longer, try conditioning the ends only and see how that works for you.
Soap Saver Bag
Soap Saver Bag
Do you use bar soap or solid shampoo bars? Then you need a soap saver bag!
Why Do I Need A Soap Saver Bag?
This particular soap bag is very useful. Why?
- Use it to keep a full bar of soap in. Simply place the bar in the bag, use it to wash your body, then hang it up to dry. It helps keep your soap from going mushy and allows it to dry out between uses.
- Soap scraps now have somewhere to go! If you’re like me, then you try to stick little pieces of soap to the next bar. Well this is a problem no more. Simply place all of your soap scraps in this bag, wait until it’s full, then voila! A new bag of soap to wash with.
- Exfoliation. This bag is perfect for helping rid your body of dry skin. Simply place your soap inside and use this bag to scrub your body. It’ll help eliminate dead skin and leave your skin feeling smooth.
- Hang them anywhere there’s a tap! We have these in our bathrooms and laundry. Super handy to keep soap in.
Natural Castile Soap
Natural Castile Soap
Our Castile Coconut Soap is based on the traditional Spanish recipe for Castile Soap. What this means is that it’s as simple as soap gets. It contains as few as 3 ingredients; distilled water, sodium hydroxide, and olive oil. That’s it!
With this in mind, Castile Soap is not designed to produce a lot of lather, so the ‘bubbliness’ of this soap is still less than the store bought soap you would otherwise find.
What Is In This Castile Soap?
This soap contains very few ingredients, and therefore is very mild. As a result, my clients have told me they use this on their face, body, babies, sensitive skin, and even their dogs!
Castile Soap is traditionally much softer than other soaps, but will actually harden over time, making it last longer. Therefore, if you take care to store it properly, it’ll last well. Whilst some of the scent may dissipate over time, the soap is totally safe to use, and can sit there for years. Have a read of the blog post I wrote on Soap Storage to give you some more background on this.

How do you use it?
Simply put the bar of soap into hot water and shake. It works better if you do this under running water. It works best when you use the soap shaker.

Organic Argan Oil
High in both omega 6 and 9, argan oil is amazing. So magical and revered that the trees this nut is derived from are part of the argan forest designated by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve in 1998.
What is argan oil exactly?
Endemic to south western Morocco and a small section of western Algeria, this tree produces a nut from which we get argan oil.
The tree is so endearing that goats climb the trees to eat the fruit. If you’re squeamish prepare yourself for this next part! The goats eat the whole fruit, despite the fact they cannot digest the nut. Therefore, the nut passes through the digestive tract of the goat. Once excreted, the nuts are gathered from the goat droppings, and cracked open to expose the seeds inside.
Once the seeds (From 1-3 seeds per nut) are extracted from the nut, they are roasted, ground, and cold pressed to produce argan oil. THIS may be why it’s such an expensive oil. Imagine being the person tasked with retrieving the nuts?! It’s also one of the most sought after culinary and cosmetic liquids in the world.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba Oil is here!
Jojoba oil is simple, effective, and affordable. Here at Totally Balmy we use jojoba oil in our house for both face and hair.
What is it good for?
Jojoba oil has a molecular composition very similar to the sebum your body produces naturally. And whilst it’s called an ‘oil’, it’s actually something called a wax ester. Therefore:
- It deeply conditions your hair as it mimics your skins’ natural oils
- Jojoba oil is light and easily absorbed into the skin
- It’s soothing and non-greasy
- Helps control sebum production by reducing oiliness
- Has anti-inflammatory properties
- Jojoba oil is odourless, so is inoffensive
- Acts as a light lip balm
- Helps relieve itchiness and dryness
Natural Conditioning Spray
Natural Conditioning Spray
I’m going to make a broad sweeping generalization and say that most children dislike having their hair washed, combed, or brushed. So, what do you do? They don’t like sitting still for long either I hear you say. Don’t worry, I’m with you!
Spray and Leave
I’ve been trying this on the smallest member of the Balmy tribe (As she has the longest hair). After a couple of months, I can now call this a huge success! She even calls it ‘My special spray’. It probably helps that I added vanilla oil, and she happens to love that smell.
As she’s only 5 she needs me to spray it in for her. So all I do is lift her hair a bit and spray 3 sprays sporadically around her head, then leave it on for 5 minutes before combing. Job done.

Here’s what Oasis have to say about this product:
Powerful but gentle 3-in-1 action to remove sunscreen build-up and instantly reveal smooth glowing skin. How does it work? Jojoba beads provide a gentle, physical exfoliation to polish away rough and dull skin while papaya, pineapple and pink grapefruit enzymes work to brighten the skin.

Then there are the natural jojoba beads that give Fruit Smoothie it’s grainy texture and act as fine (micro-bead free) exfoliating granules. They are the absolute best for gently buffing away all that dull skin, lumps, bumps and dry bits and revealing the smooth, fresh glow beneath.
