Organic cosmetics: without water and without (too much) waste
186 million. This is the number of shower gels used each year in France. And only 49% of bottles are recycled. During a television presentation, Héloïse Fontaine, founder of the powdered detergent and hygiene product companyasserted that “ 6,000 tonnes of plastic waste and 47 million liters of water each year in France “could be saved if every French person opted for powdered hygiene products. Their own in the first place, it’s fair game. But it is worth remembering that other French start-ups of which we have already spoken about are keen to develop ranges of ecological and natural detergent and cosmetic products, certainly a little more expensive than the products of the petrochemical industry, but certainly more respectful of the planet. And we can all the more support the start-up of Héloïse Fontaine, a chemical engineer by trade, because she ensures it: the products she designed ” are not originally liquid to then be freeze-dried “. This process from another time is an ecological heresy as it is energy-intensive and thirsty for water.. No, here, these are powders whose process was patented in 2017, which simply need to be reconstituted with drinking water. The adventure began with a shower gel to reconstitute, the range was expanded with a hand washing gel, a shampoo, a facial cleansing gel, a deodorant (which is obviously a best-seller), a detergent , a dishwashing liquid and, the latest, just released this month, a reconstituted toothpaste.

Industrial cosmetics: a danger for the skin
As with all of the company’s offerings, handling is extremely simple. In this case, an 80 ml bottle provided by Step One, a 16 g sachet of toothpaste powder and a dash of elbow grease. Carefully pour the powder into the bottle (be careful, it is very volatile), pour in the water until you see the powder at the bottom of the neck. Shake vigorously by tapping the bottom of the bottle (so that the powder does not stick to the bottom) and, before the first use, shake one last time. You only need to wait five to ten minutes for the toothpaste to be usable. Same instructions for deodorant, including 97% of ingredients are natural, except that the reconstitution will be done with water previously heated (between 45 and 50°C). Let’s wish good luck to this company specializing in “aqua free” and 100% French products.
