The Earthling Co. started with a straightforward idea: everyday personal-care products could work without the plastic bottles that have become standard in the bathroom. Its shampoo and conditioner bars became the foundation of the brand, offering an alternative to traditional liquid formulas without asking shoppers to give up performance.
Now, the company is expanding that approach beyond the bar itself, with more products focused on the different needs that come with caring for hair.
From Shampoo and Conditioner to a Complete Routine
Hair doesn’t have one universal set of needs. Someone dealing with dry, damaged, or color-treated hair may be looking for more moisture and strength, while someone with fine or thinning-looking hair may be more interested in volume and fullness.
The Earthling Co. takes those differences into account with the Scalp Savior Bundle, a three-step system that pairs a shampoo bar and conditioner bar with a scalp serum. Shoppers choose the version that fits their needs: Moisturizing, built around hydration, strength, and resilience; Volumizing, focused on fuller-looking hair; or Fragrance-Free, made for delicate scalps and fragrance sensitivities.
Proof that the Products Work
The company is also putting clinical testing behind some of its performance claims.
The Thickening and Volumizing Conditioner Bar is clinically shown to increase hair volume by 85% and shine by 89%. The Nourishing and Hydrating Scalp Serum in the same bundle contains apple stem cell extract, an ingredient that has been clinically shown to produce 80% thicker hair.
What the data does show is that the brand is pairing its plant-powered, plastic-free approach with measurable performance. Its formulas are also made without sulfates, silicones, parabens, phthalates, artificial fragrances, or dyes. The result is a hair-care line that puts equal emphasis on what goes into the formula and how well it performs.

Why the Scalp Is Getting More Attention
The focus on scalp care is another notable part of the company’s newer lineup. Hair care has traditionally concentrated on the visible strand: smoothing frizz, adding shine, protecting against heat, or creating more volume. The scalp is often treated as the place where shampoo begins and ends.
Scalp serums take a different approach by making the skin beneath the hair part of the routine itself. The Earthling Co.’s formulas include ingredients such as apple stem cell extract, rosemary leaf extract, and niacinamide, with the products designed around hydration and scalp care rather than simply cosmetic changes.
It reflects a larger change in beauty: consumers are increasingly interested in the condition of the skin beneath. Skincare has made the skin barrier and microbiome of the face part of the everyday beauty conversation. Hair care is beginning to give the scalp the same attention.
Expanding the Routine
The Earthling Co. continues to build on the approach that shaped the brand from the beginning: plant-powered formulas, plastic-free packaging, and products designed for everyday use. What started with shampoo and conditioner bars has grown into a broader personal care line that now includes a Glossing & Smoothing Hair Oil and Scalp Serum for hair, alongside a Body Wash Bar, Facial Cleanser, Body Oil, Daily Antioxidant Serum, Body Lotion, and Lip Balm for the rest of a daily routine.
The experience remains part of it, too. The brand offers year-round scents including Wild Lavender, Vanilla Coconut, Sweet Sandalwood, and Rosy Jasmine, along with seasonal releases such as Apple Pie, with warm cinnamon and crisp apple notes.
For longtime customers, the expansion means more ways to build on a routine they already trust, without giving up the plant-powered formulas and ingredients they came to the brand for. The clinical data behind products like the Conditioner Bar and Scalp Serum shows that these formulas can deliver measurable results alongside the brand’s clean-beauty standards. It leaves an interesting question for what’s next: how much further can The Earthling Co. take plant-powered personal care?
