Step into the future of skincare and cosmetics, where waterless goodies take center stage. Once a prized secret in the realm of eco-conscious beauty buffs, solid beauty bursts into the mainstream. Dive into the world of innovative products that give self-care a radical makeover without water.
Why the fuss about going waterless? The surge in demand for solid products forms a logical step forward. These products come in compact, minimalist packaging, reducing excessive plastic use. Dry products also weigh less, which reduces the carbon footprint for transportation and shipping. And think of the aesthetic appeal. These innovative products often feature creative packaging and designs.
Whether designed waterless or offering the choice to add water, you may choose from a wealth of remarkable options in the world of high-performance pure-potency products. Read on if you want to dip your toes into zero H2O beauty!
Waterless hydration and solid suncare
You can achieve skincare without using water “wow.”
UK-based SBTRCT changed the game by launching the world’s first solid retinoid formulated with 2% granactive retinoid, a patented anti-aging ingredient. The solid bar, Rejuvenating Night Balm, is dermatologically approved.
Likewise, French brand Superga Beauty has created the Hyalustick Sérum. Imagine a stick that hydrates like a big gulp, functions as a serum, and brims with hyaluronic acid. Ahhh —a refreshing cold plunge!
Suncare also gets a cool makeover, too. SPF goes from a sunny-day sidekick to an everyday staple and now gets the stick treatment! Canada-based Attitude’s lightweight Mineral Sunscreen Stick contains all your desired attributes! Protect yourself with this EWG-certified SPF 30, non-greasy, hypoallergenic, and unscented powerhouse. The sunscreen stick comes in a biodegradable cardboard tube, which satisfies our eco-warrior.
BYOW: bring your own water
Enter the BYOW movement, a hit for a light environmental footprint with a powerful self-care kick. Bring Your Own Water (BYOW) products help the planet thanks to lower fuel emissions, lighter transport weight, and reduced packaging.
This shift continues to make waves across industries. BYOW brands are serving up environmentally friendly options and are offering great quality and experience. Brands are getting in on the action with unique BYOW options — think powders, tablets, or flakes you can work your magic on at home with a splash of water.
And speaking of magic, let’s talk about the Swedish company FORGO. FORGO conjured up a unique powder-to-liquid soap in a reusable glass bottle. You refill the bottle monthly via a subscription with dry cleansing powder sachets mixed with water.
From the sunny shores of Singapore, Mono Skincare turns heads with their hyper-concentrated body and skin products delivered in long-lasting solid tablets. Once you give them a water wake-up, their precision applicator dispenses precisely what you need. Say hello to saving money and wave goodbye to environmental waste!
Get a grip on waterless bars
If you want to avoid a slippery shampoo bar when you enter your #EverythingShower. Get impressed, as brands like Solidu Cosmetics have reimagined bar design. Solidu’s hexagonal-shaped body and hair products are easy to grasp, so they rest firm between wet fingers.
Maybe you feel worried about cleanliness between uses? SBTRCT’s offers a supercharged holding dish that uses antibacterial fossilized algae and plaster. This bad boy drinks up extra water and sends mold packing.
New York-based body stone company Kate McLeod’s Daily Pebble offers hydro-free beauty in reusable glass canisters. The canister contains 20 single-use solid pebbles ready to give you a dreamy shower or bath. Drop one into the tub or rub on your skin for a full-blown pamper-fest.
