Description

Description: 

The Swedish SME is an established company within the personal care industry, which provides an innovative breakthrough consumer product with natural ingredients and free from single-use plastic packaging. The SME was established 2 years ago and has experience of international cooperation and a growing market in the Nordics.

Clean hands and personal care are essential to everyone. The problem with traditional products like soap is that they are about 80% water and come filled in single-use plastic bottles that pollute the environment. That means the consumers are paying for plastic waste, and shipping water that they already have at home.

The product offered is a natural powder that turns tap water into liquid hand- and body wash. The customer simply fills the reusable bottle with water, adds in the ingredients and gives it a quick shake that creates a full bottle of liquid personal care.

The bottles are beautiful, refillable and designed to last a lifetime. Thus, the customer never has to buy and throw away another plastic soap bottle. The refill packaging is made of bio-based material and decomposes in nature. The refills are compact and fit through the letterbox, making home delivery easy.

The SME is looking for a distribution agreement. This cooperation type was selected as the SME wishes to distribute their product to enable sustainable living for more people and make a bigger environmental impact. This could be realized with a partner acting as distributor in any of the following product categories: eco-friendly products, natural cosmetics, well-being, interior design, bathroom décor, aesthetic consumer products.
