It’s time to clear the air — and your shelves
In a world flooded with ads, influencers, and self-proclaimed “miracle” solutions, it’s easy to fall for myths that sound right but are, in fact, misleading. Many of us unknowingly follow routines that do more harm than good. Today, we bust some of the most common personal care myths and replace them with real, research-backed facts — while showing you how Goli Soda products are built around truth, not trends.
🌿 MYTH 1: “Natural products don’t work as well as chemical ones.”
🚫 The Myth:
“If it doesn’t foam, it doesn’t clean.” Many believe that strong chemical formulas are the only way to get effective results.
✅ The Fact:
Foam ≠ clean. In reality, sulphates (SLS/SLES) are added just to create lather and have no cleansing benefit.
📊 A report by the Environmental Working Group found that more than 80% of personal care products contain ingredients linked to skin irritation and hormonal imbalance.
At Goli Soda, our probiotic-based shampoo bars cleanse using natural surfactants like Shikakai and Saponified coconut oil, which preserve your scalp health and clean gently — without stripping your natural oils.
🌱 MYTH 2: “You need to use a lot of product to see results.”
🚫 The Myth:
The more you apply, the better the effect.
✅ The Fact:
More is not better — especially with concentrated, potent natural products. In fact, overuse can overwhelm your skin and scalp, causing buildup or breakouts.
📚 Dermatology experts from Harvard say “using more product than needed doesn’t speed up results; it may worsen the problem.”
Our Goli Soda bars are compact but concentrated. A little lather from our shampoo or face wash bars goes a long way — making each bar last 30–50 washes. Better for your skin and your wallet.
🚿 MYTH 3: “Shampoo bars aren’t effective for oily or dandruff-prone hair.”
🚫 The Myth:
Bar shampoos are “too mild” and don’t clean well — especially for oily scalps or dandruff.
✅ The Fact:
Not all shampoo bars are made the same. Some generic bars use soap bases that disrupt scalp pH. But high-quality bars like ours use cold-pressed oils, apple cider vinegar, and probiotics to deeply cleanse and restore scalp balance.
💬 Our oily hair bar is enriched with Grapefruit Essential Oil, known to reduce excess sebum and prevent scalp inflammation.
🧴 MYTH 4: “If it’s certified by the government, it must be safe.”
🚫 The Myth:
“All approved ingredients are safe for daily use.”
✅ The Fact:
Just because something is legally permitted doesn’t make it harmless. Some ingredients are only safe within limited doses or with occasional use. Many commercial shampoos and cleaners use preservatives or artificial fragrances that build up over time in our bodies and the environment.
Goli Soda chooses to go beyond the basics — removing even “approved” Additives that don't align with our sustainability values.
We avoid:
-
Artificial fragrance oils
-
Parabens
-
Petroleum-based surfactants
-
Palm oil (a major cause of rainforest deforestation)
🧼 MYTH 5: “A good smell = a good product.”
🚫 The Myth:
“If it smells nice, it must be clean and fresh.”
✅ The Fact:
Fragrance is one of the top 5 allergens in cosmetic products, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Artificial fragrance oils can trigger migraines, rashes, and hormonal disruptions — especially in children and pregnant women.
That’s why Goli Soda products use essential oils in their natural form — with calming scents like lavender, grapefruit, or eucalyptus that fade naturally without leaving behind harmful residue.
🌎 MYTH 6: “Eco-friendly = expensive and ineffective.”
🚫 The Myth:
Sustainable living is only for the elite.
✅ The Fact:
Sustainability is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. What’s often expensive is overconsumption. When you invest in high-quality, multi-use, zero-waste products, you buy less, waste less, and save more in the long run.
📊 A 2023 Nielsen study showed 73% of Indian consumers are willing to switch to a sustainable brand if it delivers value and performance.
At Goli Soda, we design all our products to be affordable, long-lasting, and refillable or compostable — proving you don’t need to spend more to live better.
