Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s often means finding simple ways to help them maintain their independence. For our mom, who has an intentional hand tremor—her hand only shakes when she uses it—switching to bar shampoo has been a game-changer. It’s so much easier for her to handle than a bottle. The simplicity of this switch has brought us a sense of ease and reduced the overwhelming feeling of caregiving.
We have personally found Ethique shampoo bars to be a great solution. The bright colors make them easy for our mom to spot in the shower, and the safe, natural ingredients mean she can use them on her body. (However, our mom can still choose between the shampoo bar for her hair and the one for her body.) She uses the Pinkalicious™ bar, while Kim prefer St Clements™. Both are fantastic, and we highly recommend them.
We’ve also shared Ethique with a family friend who has rheumatoid arthritis, and it’s made a real difference for them.
If you’re a caregiver looking to help your loved one maintain their independence in the shower, we encourage you to try Ethique shampoo bars. It’s a simple change that could make a significant difference for both of you.
