{"product_id":"bittim-shampoo-bar","title":"Bittim (Terebinth) — Botanical Shampoo Bar","description":"\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 22px;line-height:1.75\"\u003eA shampoo bar made with bittim oil, pressed from the fruit of the terebinth tree that grows wild across south-eastern Türkiye. In the region it has been used on hair and scalp for generations, and it is still made the same way, in small quantities, because the fruit is gathered rather than farmed. The smell is resinous and green, unlike anything on a shop shelf, and it is the reason people either love this bar or leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e9e3da\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"list-style:none;cursor:pointer\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:12px;padding:13px 2px;font-weight:600\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"opacity:.4;font-weight:400;font-size:18px;line-height:1\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 18px;padding:0 2px;line-height:1.75\"\u003eOily scalps and flaking, and anyone curious about a soap that tastes of where it comes from.

In that time it may feel heavier or waxier than usual, especially if your water is hard. It passes. Rinse for longer than feels necessary, and if the waxiness is still there after a week, one rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar clears it.

The bittim fruit is gathered from wild trees, not grown on a plantation, so how much oil exists in a given year depends on the harvest.
