Elevator Pitch

We create solid personal care products made with local ingredients, using water-free and plastic-free packaging

Climate Problem

The personal care industry pollutes rivers and oceans with single-use plastics; furthermore, the water contained in its formulations poses health risks in the medium and long term. The water and plastic packaging generate CO2 due to their weight and volume.

Solution

We aim to eliminate plastic from packaging by developing water-free formulas and innovating in product formats and packaging—all to promote people’s health and beauty while also protecting the planet.
