After 5 Years of Making and Selling Shampoo Bars
After five years of running Wild Ona as a sustainable haircare brand in Scotland, creating products for customers and retailers across the UK, I closed my workshop when our family relocated to Spain. Today, I teach other makers how to create beautiful, high-performing shampoo and conditioner bars for home or small business.
As a certified haircare formulator with years of hands-on experience, I’m here to guide you with clarity and expertise. Kristina x

Where Wild Ona Began
Wild Ona began with solid shampoo and conditioner bars that gained loyal customers across the UK. While I no longer produce them, you can still explore my past collection and read the reviews that shaped this journey.
These products are the foundation of what I now teach — so you can learn to create the same kind of high-performance, eco-friendly haircare yourself.

My Story
Years ago, as a new mum of two daughters, I found myself struggling with a painfully sensitive scalp that no product could fix. I wanted to create something not only for myself, but for my children too. That’s what led me to research ingredients, learn how formulations really work, and eventually start creating my own.
What began as a personal solution turned into Wild Ona — a brand rooted in simplicity, integrity, and real results. I trained as a certified haircare formulator and spent years perfecting solid shampoo and conditioner bars that were gentle on my scalp, safe for my family, better for the planet, and deeply nourishing for the hair.
But over time, I realized what I loved most wasn’t just making the products — it was teaching others how to do the same. I know how overwhelming it can feel at the beginning. It took me years of trial and error to figure things out, and that’s exactly why I teach: so you don’t have to spend that time.
My strength lies in taking complex, technical information and breaking it down into simple, practical steps. So much learning material is presented in an overly academic way — but with me, it’s clear, straightforward, and even fun.
Now, I focus on giving you the real skills I wish I had when I started — so you can create your own high-performance, eco-friendly haircare products with ease and confidence.
You don’t need to be a chemist. You just need to start!
