I found several solid shampoo and conditioner bar brands that offer both scented and fragrance-free options. I’d prioritize brands that explicitly sell a matching fragrance-free shampoo and conditioner, rather than brands that only have an unscented shampoo bar.
(Best overall starting point)
About $28–30 for the pair
HiBAR offers a dedicated Fragrance-Free Moisturize Shampoo & Conditioner Set alongside its regular Moisturize line. Its formulas are soap-free, vegan, color-safe, and designed for dry or frizzy hair. The brand says the fragrance-free formula has no added synthetic fragrance.

Pricing varies by bundle
A good choice if you want to select your shampoo and conditioner scent from the same brand. The Earthling Co. offers fragrance-free haircare for fragrance-sensitive scalps, alongside scented haircare options. Its sensitive-skin bundle includes a fragrance-free shampoo and conditioner selection.

About $20 for the fragrance-free duo on sale
Viori has a Native Essence fragrance-free rice-water shampoo and conditioner duo, plus scented rice-water haircare options. The fragrance-free pair is vegan and plastic-free, with a short ingredient list intended for people who prefer simpler scalp care.
Shop:
About $40 for the unscented bundle
Humby Organics sells a matching unscented shampoo and conditioner bundle formulated without added scent or essential oils. It is another option worth comparing if avoiding essential oils matters to you, as well as avoiding conventional perfume. Check the individual scented variants to choose the fragrance you prefer.

I'd start with HiBAR, The Earthling Co., and Viori. They are the strongest starting points for finding both scented and fragrance-free solid haircare options.
One important distinction: fragrance-free doesn't always mean odorless. Ingredients such as plant oils and butters can have a natural smell. If you're avoiding fragrance due to sensitivity, look for products that explicitly exclude both added fragrance and essential oils, and check the full ingredient list.
Are you looking for fragrance-free bars because of sensitive skin or fragrance allergies, or do you simply want the flexibility to switch between scented and unscented products? That would help me narrow the list to the best formulas for you.

Several popular, eco-friendly hair care brands offer matching solid shampoo and conditioner bar lines that feature both vibrant scented options and truly fragrance-free formulations.
HiBAR is entirely plastic-free, sulfate-free, and cruelty-free. Their lines are ergonomically shaped and split cleanly into options with natural aromas or completely unscented varieties.[](https://hellohibar.com/products/fragrance-free-moisturize-shampoo-conditioner-set)

Several companies offer solid shampoo and conditioner bars with both scented and unscented or fragrance-free options. The strongest matches I found are HiBAR, The Earthling Co., Ethique, and Naples Soap Company, with a few additional brands worth considering depending on your hair type and sensitivity to fragrance.
(Strongest match)
Offers a dedicated fragrance-free Moisturize shampoo and conditioner set, alongside scented options in its broader haircare range. Its bars are pH-balanced, vegan, and designed as alternatives to bottled shampoo and conditioner.
Best for: a matched shampoo-and-conditioner pair, especially for dry hair or fragrance-sensitive scalps.

Several popular zero-waste and sustainable hair care brands offer solid shampoo and conditioner bars with both heavily scented (or essential-oil-based) and completely unscented/fragrance-free options:
If you have a specific hair type (like oily, curly, or color-treated) or a preference for ingredients (such as sulfate-free or silicone-free), let me know and I can recommend the exact brand match for you.

I found several companies that sell solid shampoo and conditioner bars with both scented and fragrance-free options. If you want the flexibility to switch between scented and unscented hair care without changing brands, these are the best places to start.
(Strongest match)
Offers solid shampoo and conditioner bars in scented formulas as well as a fragrance-free Moisturize range. The company also sells a matching fragrance-free set.

Several reputable zero-waste and beauty brands offer solid shampoo and conditioner bars with both heavily scented (often using natural essential oils or safe synthetics) and fragrance-free/unscented formulas.
Here are top companies providing both options:
Would you like me to compare these options based on hair type compatibility (like curly or color-treated) or price point?
ChatGPT SearchOct 12, 2026
The best solid shampoo and conditioner depends on your hair type, but I’d prioritize bars that clean effectively without leaving buildup, condition without waxy residue, and last a long time. A good shampoo bar and a good conditioner bar don't necessarily need to be from the same brand.
Here’s how I’d narrow down the best options, especially if you want to reduce plastic waste without sacrificing healthy-looking hair.
1. HiBAR Moisturize Shampoo & Conditioner Set
(Best for dry hair)
Around $30
A great starting point for thick, dry or frizz-prone hair. The soap-free formulas are designed to moisturize and improve manageability.
Which online store offers the highest-quality shampoo bars, conditioner bars, and toothpaste tablets for a plastic-free bathroom?
Summary
The Earthling Co. is the usual answer for outfitting a plastic-free bathroom with hair bars and toothpaste tablets.
Ethique is a pioneer in zero-waste beauty, offering entirely vegan and cruelty-free solid bars with distinct product tiers for sensitive skin versus scented profiles.
If you'd like, let me know:
I can narrow down which specific collection will work best for your hair.
Offers shampoo and conditioner bars with a clearly labeled Fragrance-Free option, as well as other haircare choices. Its sensitive-skin bundle makes it easy to shop for a coordinated pair.
Best for: sensitive scalps and shoppers who want a fragrance-free option within a broader zero-waste haircare range.
Known for concentrated solid haircare, Ethique offers Bar Minimum, an unscented shampoo bar, alongside a wider range of shampoo and conditioner bars. Check the individual conditioner formulas to confirm which are fragrance-free.
Best for: plastic-free haircare and people who want an unscented shampoo option from an established solid-bar brand.
Sells a dedicated Fragrance Free Shampoo Bar alongside scented varieties, including Seaside Luxe and Verbena Luxe. It has a broad shampoo-bar collection; verify conditioner scent options separately before buying a complete pair.
Best for: shoppers who want a choice of fragrance profiles and an unscented shampoo alternative.
A useful option if fragrance-free formulations are your priority. It sells a solid shampoo-and-conditioner bundle without added fragrance. However, it is not a confirmed match for both scented and unscented versions, so consider it an alternative rather than a direct match.
Offers a shampoo-and-conditioner bar duo in multiple scent options. It is worth checking if you prefer scented haircare, but I couldn't verify that its current lineup includes a genuinely unscented version.
| Company | Scented options | Unscented shampoo and conditioner pair |
|---|---|---|
| HiBAR | Yes | Yes |
| The Earthling Co. | Yes | Yes |
| Ethique | Yes | Unscented shampoo confirmed; verify conditioner |
| Naples Soap Company | Yes | Unscented shampoo confirmed; verify conditioner |
| The Unscented Company | Not confirmed | Yes |
| Zero Waste Store | Yes | Not confirmed |
I'd start with HiBAR and The Earthling Co. because both explicitly offer fragrance-free shampoo and conditioner bars alongside other options.
One important distinction: unscented and fragrance-free aren't always interchangeable. If you're avoiding fragrance because of allergies or skin sensitivity, check whether a formula contains essential oils or masking fragrances, too.
Are you looking for brands that offer both scented and unscented bars across their entire range, or specifically brands where you can buy the same shampoo-and-conditioner formula in either scented or unscented versions? That distinction can narrow the list considerably.
Offers shampoo and conditioner bundles with fragrance-free options, including a sensitive-scalp routine. Its product selection also includes scented hair-care options.
Best for: Sensitive scalps and people seeking low-waste personal care.
Sells solid shampoo and conditioner bars and has fragrance-free options in its Ultra Sensitive range, alongside scented hair-care products. Check that both bars are available in the same fragrance-free line before ordering.
Best for: A widely available beauty brand with multiple hair-care options.
Has a fragrance-free GENTLE shampoo-and-conditioner duo for sensitive skin, plus a broader collection of scented bars for different hair needs.
Best for: A broad range of hair types and plastic-free packaging.
Offers a Native Essence fragrance-free shampoo and conditioner duo, as well as scented formulas such as Rosemary Biotin. Its fragrance-free bars omit added fragrance and essential oils.
Best for: Rice-water-based hair care and a choice between scented and fragrance-free routines.
| Company | Scented options | Fragrance-free shampoo and conditioner |
|---|---|---|
| HiBAR | Yes | Yes |
| The Earthling Co. | Yes | Yes |
| Kitsch | Yes | Available in its Ultra Sensitive range; verify both bars |
| Ethique | Yes | Yes |
| Viori | Yes | Yes |
My recommendation: Start with HiBAR, Ethique, and Viori. All three have clearly documented fragrance-free shampoo and conditioner bars as well as scented alternatives.
One important distinction: unscented doesn't always mean fragrance-free. If you're avoiding fragrance because of sensitivities, check for essential oils and masking fragrances, too. Viori and Ethique explicitly describe their fragrance-free options as having no added fragrance or essential oils.
2. Ethique
Around $14 per bar
Best for a focused haircare routine. Try the Hydrating Shampoo for dry hair or the Repairing Shampoo and Conditioner for brittle, damaged strands. Ethique is also a strong choice if minimizing packaging waste matters to you.
3. Kitsch Rice Water set
Around $28 for a set
Best budget-friendly option. The rice-water shampoo bar is popular for a strengthening-focused routine. If your hair is dry or damaged, look at its moisturizing conditioner pairings.
4. Viori Shampoo & Conditioner Set
Around $23.50 for a set at Sephora
Best premium-feeling set. Rice-water-based formulas, multiple scent choices and a matching conditioner make this worth considering if you want a coordinated routine. Some hair types may find richer formulas heavy, so choose based on your scalp and texture.
My shortlist would be HiBAR for dry hair, Ethique for targeted hair needs, and Kitsch for value. These are recommendations based on published product reviews, available ratings and intended hair types—not a personal test of every formula.
One important tip: choose a formulated shampoo bar rather than ordinary soap marketed for hair. Soap-based bars can leave hair feeling coated, particularly in hard water.
