Tree to Tub Review
These Soapberry Products Are The Bomb
When rubbed between hands, the berry naturally lathers into a gentle, cleansing foam.
Our reviewerA Berry That Actually Cleans
As someone who reacts to most chemical cleansers with dry, rashy skin, and who's tried plenty of natural products that simply don't work, the soapberry pitch from Tree to Tub was a hard sell — until a demo video showed the berry lathering into a real, foaming wash when rubbed between wet hands.
The shampoo, tested in peppermint, was genuinely refreshing and left hair fully clean with no greasy midday regrowth. The lavender body wash rinsed off easily and left skin feeling clean rather than stripped.
Tree to Tub's full line also includes facial cleansers, conditioners and lotions in the same low-irritation, high-nourishment formula, though this review focused on the shampoo and body wash.
At $28 for an 11-ounce bottle, it costs more than a drugstore option, but that premium buys eco-friendly, dermatologist-recommended ingredients grown sustainably before shipping to San Francisco — and the brand backs new subscribers with two free bottles.

Our Hands-On Review
The peppermint shampoo was the first test — refreshing on application, and it genuinely cleaned without leaving hair greasy by midday.
The lavender body wash followed, with a soothing scent straight from the bottle and an easy rinse that left skin feeling clean, not dry.
Why the Premium Price Might Be Worth It
Tree to Tub sources its soapberries sustainably before shipping to San Francisco — the eco-friendly process is part of why an 11 oz. bottle runs $28, well above a drugstore shampoo.
