Our Mission Beyond the Bars

We started Green Journey in 2022 to fix what shouldn't be broken.

At the time, we were frustrated by the so-called “sustainable” products crowding the shelves — overpriced, underperforming, and often more about appearances than real impact. And when it came to haircare, the options felt especially backwards: plastic bottles filled with 80% water, harsh detergents, and barely any ingredients that actually nourish your hair.

So we asked a simple question:
What if sustainable haircare didn’t have to be a tradeoff?

Green Journey was built on the belief that you shouldn’t have to choose between what works, what’s affordable, and what’s good for the planet. Our bars are designed to beat the performance of traditional shampoo and conditioner, without the bottle, the filler, or the inflated price tag.

We cut the water content down to just 5%, packed each bar with concentrated, salon-quality ingredients, and made sure they last 3× as long as the average plastic bottle. That means fewer refills, less waste, and more money in your pocket.

We’re here to prove that clean, effective, and sustainable haircare can all live in the same bar — and that you never have to compromise to make the better choice.

Meet the Founder

I launched Green Journey when I was 16 — but the idea started when I was 15, during a high school biology class in my hometown in the Pacific Northwest.

We were covering climate change. Just a few slides. But they stuck with me. I’d always loved being outdoors — whether it was mountain biking, trail running, or just getting lost in the woods. Nature has always felt essential. And realizing how much we're harming it pushed me to take action.

But I didn’t want to create a product that only talked about sustainability. I wanted to build something that actually worked — something better than the plastic-filled products most of us still use, and something affordable enough for everyday people.

That’s how Green Journey began. Not as a business plan, but as a belief: that planet-friendly products shouldn’t be the expensive or ineffective option. They should be the new standard.
