neither tube nor bottle – it’s a Tuble!

It has been packaged in a lightweight bottle that uses 46% less plastic vs our 400 ml bottle.

So, as you would expect Tuble behaves a little differently to a regular shampoo bottle. Less plastic means our bottle is lightweight, easy to squeeze and rollable for the last drop of dandruff protection, so acts like both a tube and a bottle!
