Let your shampoo bar be the change you wish to see in the world. | By Kelly McGilvery

Imagine it: you’re bleary-eyed, it’s six in the morning, and you’re trying to wake up and prepare for your day while standing under the showerhead. You pick up a shampoo bar from Sun Basin Soap, smell its scent, and suddenly your day shifts into focus. You feel driven by the mood of the shampoo, ready for a day of adventure and mystique. Let’s explore the possible directions your day could take, based on which shampoo bar you choose. Let’s visualize the day you want for yourself.

Option 1: Take the Mic at Karaoke Night

The Bloom Shampoo Bar is a sunny day with friends, all camaraderie and joy, laughter and elation. It’s warm air on your skin as you ride a Tilt-A-Whirl. It’s fruit salad at a picnic in the park, people-watching on the weekend as you do a crossword puzzle as a group. It’s a friendly dog who runs to greet you as you walk into its field of view. Bloom brings a bottle of wine to your games night and is the first to sing karaoke when the mic is available. Its scent delivers you to a warm moment with laughter and great company.

Option 2: Choose a Different View

The Dew Drop Shampoo Bar brings freshness and creativity to your day. It’s all brainstorms and post-it notes on the wall, concepts that reframe your understanding of a trenchant problem. It’s a new approach to something you do every day, taking a new route on your walk around the neighborhood. It’s a new dive into the pool, a sandwich you’ve never tried in the cafeteria, a fresh email sign-off, a new joke for your office buddy. Dew Drop puts a pep in your step, a lift in your afternoon doldrums, and gives you a new perspective, even through the glasses you wear every day.

Option 3: Walk into the Forest

The Sapling Shampoo Bar lets you commune with nature. Its scent will transport you to a walk through the forest, where you’re eavesdropping on bird conversations and feeling the cool, shady air of the atmosphere beneath the tree canopy. It’s walking across pine needles toward a scenic vista, hearing the roar of a waterfall punctuate the sounds of the forest, a beautiful sunset on the horizon. It’s the smell of flowers transporting you through time and space to a memory you’ll never forget. The scent of Sapling gives you the natural world, wherever you happen to find yourself in your day.

Option 4: High Fives All Around

The Tonewood Shampoo Bar is the deep breath you take after finishing an obstacle course, the fruit smoothie you drink after getting all your reps in, and the high-fives that buoy your spirits on your journey. It’s the pats on the back you get from a team huddle, the cheers you hear when passing a crowd, and the sound of your team’s name booming through the loudspeaker. The scent of Tonewood will help you breathe easy and remind you what it feels like to get the right answer, make the goal, and hit your target.
