👋 Hi I’m Kate and this is my assistant Cookie

💻 Nettle Tree is an online platform making plastic-free Aussie made shampoo bars from across the country more accessible.
♻️ I began my zero waste journey in 2017 and had tried making my own shampoo but decided it was too messy and not meeting my specific hair needs. I just couldn’t find anything that was handmade with natural ingredients to suit my sensitive skin – that wasn’t wrapped in plastic.
🚜 In 2018, I started sourcing solid shampoo bars from local & regional markets. My vision formed into creating a collection of products online so they are more accessible for other city dwelling Aussies.
👭 Meeting the women and their families who hand-make these products was incredibly inspiring, I have included some of their stories on each product page.
🌱 In 2020, my excitement in the zero waste movement collided together with my passion for supporting women run small local businesses has resulted in Nettle Tree.
