Let's Face It is an exfoliating and cleansing pad that was created as an alternative to solid skincare solutions that are already on the market, as well as a plastic-free alternative to liquids. The innovative product is touted as a "flexible solid" and boasts a form that's reusable, long-lasting and eco-friendly, as it is made from potato starch, sustainable seaweed and coconut shells and rice as natural exfoliators.
Although there are plenty of solid skincare products that are helping to reduce waste, most of them take the form of soap-like bars that don't have a lot of give. Let's Face It is unique for its flexible qualities, which make it comparable to pliable natural materials like leather or rubber.
The flexible solid exfoliating and cleansing pad recently won the Laura Marshall Memorial Award for Innovation at SCS Formulate.
