Good Time Body: A Sudsy Farewell & Shampoo Bar Alternatives

Good Time was a short-run, limited-edition brand created by the team behind Who Gives A Crap. With playful branding, clean design, and a planet-friendly mission, it brought a bit of fun to the plastic-free personal care space.

While Good Time is currently being phased out, its impact lingers, especially for those who value sustainability and smart design. 

HiBAR proudly picks up where Good Time left off, offering a full line of high-performance shampoo bars and conditioner bars. Our products are cruelty-free, support clean water initiatives, and ship with carbon-neutral shipping. 

If you liked the Good Time vibe, you will feel right at home with HiBAR’s hair care collection.

A Nod to the Icon: The Good Time Journey

Good Time was more than just soap. It was a limited-time brand with a bigger mission. They offered plastic-free, solid shampoo bars, conditioner bars, and body bars, all while donating 50% of profits to clean water initiatives.

The brand’s line featured skin-friendly formulas like the Gentle Cleansing Face Bar, Exfoliating Body Bar, Hydrating Shampoo Bar, and Moisturising Shave Bar. 

Everything was wrapped in colorful, compostable packaging that made a statement in the shower without the waste.

Though Good Time is being sold off in final clearance, the brand’s fresh approach to self-care still resonates. People continue searching for “good time soap,” not just for the products, but for what they represented.

What Made “Good Time” Good?

Good Time Soap refers to a range of solid bars designed for different parts of your routine—hair, body, face, and shaving. These bars were formulated to cleanse, exfoliate, or hydrate, depending on the type.

They came without plastic and without the need for multiple bottles crowding your shower. The texture of each bar was smooth and easy to use, producing a satisfying lather that worked well on wet hair or skin. 

Fragrance-free options like the Gentle Cleansing Face Bar appealed to sensitive users, while other bars offered light, refreshing scents that left you feeling clean, not overpowered.

All in all, it was the combination of clever design, simple routines, and a charitable mission that kept people coming back. Even in its final run, Good Time made people feel good, and did good in the world too.

HiBAR Unleashed: Redefining Haircare for the Modern Era

Good Time brought attention to the idea that a bar could do more with less. HiBAR takes that idea further with salon-quality formulas built for results. 

Our shampoo bar and conditioner bar lines are customized for different hair types, from frizz control to hydration to volume, all without the plastic.

Every bar is free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and silicones. We are cruelty-free, many of our products are certified vegan, and we design our packaging to be compostable or recyclable. 

Even the bar shape makes sense—it fits in your palm, stands up in your shower, and glides easily through wet hair.

If Good Time was a feel-good start, HiBAR is the high-performance upgrade your routine was waiting for.

The Suds Showdown Between Good Time and HiBAR

Good Time Soap set the stage. HiBAR raised the bar with our eco hair products. Below, we break down our brand compares to Good Time by ingredients, performance, sustainability, packaging, and value.

Ingredients & Formulation

Good Time Soap used gentle, plant-based formulas for its shampoo bars and body bars. The ingredients delivered a light cleanse, suitable for daily use. Plus, these bars were designed to be simple, effective, and friendly to most skin types.

HiBAR goes a step further with high-quality, salon-grade ingredients. Each shampoo bar and conditioner bar is free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and silicones. And each formula is designed to address as specific function for your hair.

We include ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and plant-derived surfactants. The result is a shampoo that lathers well, rinses clean, and supports soft, shiny hair. 

This is why HiBAR’s formulas are effective, safe for sensitive skin, and built for all hair types.

Eco-Friendliness & Sustainability

Good Time Soap emphasized sustainability through plastic-free packaging and a mission to support clean water initiatives. Its bars reduced the need for bottles and helped lower waste.

HiBAR enhances this vision with zero-waste packaging, cruelty-free practices, and plastic-free shipping. Every shampoo bar and conditioner bar is packaged in recyclable materials. 

For consumers who care about environmental impact, HiBAR's eco-friendly shampoo and conditioner bars provides a smarter, long-term solution that prioritizes both performance and the planet.

Performance & Sensory Experience

Good Time Soap delivered a pleasant experience with a smooth feel and mild scent. Its body bars and shampoo bar created a simple lather that worked for basic cleansing.

HiBAR’s bars are performance-driven. The shampoo bar creates a rich, creamy lather that spreads easily through wet hair, while the conditioner bar glides smoothly from root to tip. 

Each bar is also lightly scented, leaving a clean, refreshing smell after every shower. 

Additionally, HiBAR’s formulas help reduce frizz, boost volume, or add moisture depending on the product chosen. The difference is striking, so your hair can feel softer and look shinier after continuous use.

Innovative Packaging and Value Proposition

Good Time bars came in fun, compostable wrappers with bold colors and messaging. They were eye-catching and giftable, but not designed for extended use or storage.

HiBAR packaging combines form and function. Each bar is shaped to fit your palm and stand upright in the shower for faster drying. This design extends the bar’s life and keeps things tidy. 

The compact packaging is also 100% plastic-free and built for zero waste with FSC-certified cardboard. Compared to traditional bottles or single-use bars, HiBAR delivers more washes per gram, making it a better long-term investment. 

Price & Value

Good Time Soap positioned itself as a limited-edition product with a purpose. While priced affordably, it was meant as a fun, short-term offering with proceeds supporting clean water initiatives.

HiBAR is built for consistent, everyday use. Each shampoo bar and conditioner bar replaces two to three bottles of product. The cost per use is low, while the performance is high. 

HiBAR’s value comes not only from product longevity, but from clean formulas and thoughtful design. 

With added perks like plastic-free shipping and cruelty-free ingredients, customers get a premium experience that feels worth every cent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Still thinking about making the switch? Here are some quick answers to help guide your new shampoo bar routine.

How Can I Store My Shampoo Bar to Maximize Its Lifespan?

To maximize your shampoo bar’s lifespan, it is important to keep it dry between uses.

Proper storage also helps prevent melting and preserves the bar’s effectiveness. Avoid letting it sit in water between uses..

Follow these tips to get the most out of every bar:

• Use a well-draining soap dish or drying rack
• Let the bar air dry thoroughly after each use
• Store in a cool, ventilated area away from direct shower spray
• Avoid airtight containers while the bar is still wet
• Keep it elevated from pooling water in the shower

By following these simple steps, your shampoo bar will stay firm, lather properly, and last longer. A little care goes a long way in making every bar worth the effort.

How Often Should I Use a Shampoo Bar to Maintain Healthy Hair?

You can use a shampoo bar as often as you would a liquid shampoo. For most people, that means every two to three days.

Some users may wash daily depending on their hair type, while others prefer to shampoo every other day. 

If you have an oily scalp, frequent use may help maintain balance (and our shampoo bars for oily hair is perfect for this). Drier hair types may benefit from less frequent washing. The key is to monitor how your hair feels and responds.

With regular use, HiBAR shampoo bars can help improve hair texture, reduce buildup, and support a healthier scalp. Adjust your routine as needed for the best results.

Each shampoo bar and conditioner bar is made with gentle ingredients that cleanse without stripping moisture. They are designed to work well on both hair and skin without causing irritation. 

Unscented versions are also available for those who are fragrance-sensitive.
