Clean Ingredients / Materials
Formulated with excellent clean ingredients. Plastic free. Fragrance free option available.
Ethical Practices
Hairpip designs, formulates and manufactures all products in-house in Perth, maintaining full control over ingredient selection and production quality. All ingredients are sourced through Australian suppliers for supply chain visibility and adherence to quality and safety standards. Products are entirely vegan and cruelty-free, with no animal testing. The brand sources coconut cider vinegar through Kokonut Pacific (Niulife), supporting fair trade practices. Flexible employment opportunities are provided locally, including roles for individuals receiving disability or pension support. Marketing avoids exaggerated claims and greenwashing, prioritising honest communication.
Sustainable Practices
Hairpip formulates waterless, concentrated solid hair wash products to eliminate the need for liquid bottles and reduce transport weight. Packaging is minimised, using kraft paper wrappers with a thin waterproof film and replacing plastic tape in shipping with jute string. Products are made in small batches in Perth to reduce overproduction and waste, with unused batches reintroduced into production. Hairpip partners with Regenerative Australia to support tree-planting initiatives through donations.
Social Impact
Hairpip regularly donates to and supports community organisations across Western Australia, including Toybox Australia, Women’s Health and Wellbeing Services, ADHD fundraising initiatives, local sporting clubs and community fundraising events. The brand engages in grassroots community activities such as quiz nights and wellbeing initiatives and uses its marketing and social media channels to educate consumers about simplified, low-tox living and ingredient awareness. The founder also shares knowledge with aspiring entrepreneurs through direct messages and informal conversations.
Product Reviews by Experts
I like how well this lathers for a solid product and how effectively it cleans without stripping the scalp. My hair felt fresh and less oily, and I could stretch my wash cycle an extra day. The pod format is generous and long-lasting, making it great value over time. I’m impressed by the brand’s rethinking of the haircare system through waterless formulation, reduced packaging and a clear focus on minimising waste. The combination of Australian manufacturing, ethical sourcing (including support for Pacific Island communities), inclusive employment practices and grassroots community engagement demonstrates a genuinely values-led approach to sustainability and social impact.
I love that it’s so simple to use and takes out the extra step of using a conditioner. The shape of the hairpip is lovely to hold in my hand too. This product removes so much plastic waste; it’s amazing! I’m also really impressed that they go beyond environmental impact and support community organisations across Western Australia. The fact that the product is waterless also means there is a smaller carbon footprint compared to other products, which is a great sustainability win.
The pod lathers beautifully, allowing me to clean my hair thoroughly, and the end result is quite promising. I have long hair, which usually requires volumiser shampoo products. Hairpip has already solved a few ethical and sustainability problems through the zero-waste approach. It’s showing signs that it will continue to lead in this space.
