Plus' zero-waste body wash takes the form of dehydrated squares that turn into foam when wet, helping to reduce the need for plastic packaging altogether. The body wash sachets can be dropped on the floor of the shower when done, as they will completely dissolve and disappear down the drain afterward.
The dissolvable packaging solution helps to solve major problems with conventional body wash products, specifically the environmental costs of shipping water and single-use packaging. These alternatives are described as virtually weightless and the waterless products can be found in varieties like Cloud, Summer and Waves.
Although products in some categories are difficult to create in waterless formats, body care solutions can be adapted to use fewer resources and packaging.
