“Solidification” of Liquid Shampoos and Conditioners using enhanced Microcrystalline Cellulose fibres:

Water-free products allow for a range of plastic-free packaging options and dramatically reduce transportation and storage costs as well as the product’s carbon footprint. Preservative free options are also made possible.

JRS’s (J Rettenmaier & Sohne) technology allows for the conversion of liquid shampoos, conditioners and, indeed, individual liquid surfactants and other raw materials into water free solids. The relatively small number of  surfactant  options for shampoo bars tends to result in products that do not perform as well as their liquid alternatives. This “Solidification” technology allows for shampoo bars which have the exact same INCI list as liquid shampoo formulations and, consequently, the same performance characteristics.

The process allows for the removal of water and the resultant granules can be stamped into bars or used as a “just add water” concentrates etc…

This technology is a huge leap forward in terms of offering high performance water-free alternatives to traditional liquid formulations.

Lotion de L’Ocean is a velvety soft, Zinc Oxide only, SPF 30 body lotion which is transparent on all skin tones. The silky textured oil-in-water emulsion is created using the world’s first upcycled seaweed emulsifier, SeaBalance 2000!

SeaBalance 2000: The Solution for upcycled emulsification and reducing greenhouse gas emissions

A 100% natural polymeric emulsifier, upcycled from over-abundant Sargassum seaweed!

• Stabilises oil-in-water emulsions
• Light, velvety non-tacky texture
• Cold processable
• Prevents greenhouse gas release  
• Suspending and thickening properties
• Compatible with most cosmetic ingredients
• Salt and pH tolerant

Lotion de L’Ocean utilizes the power of the ocean with aquatic ingredients to compliment the sunscreen activity:

• MARSturiser – a bacterial ferment from the Rio Tinto river, which provides intense moisturisation
• InvinCity – a sustainably sourced and hand-harvested algal extract, which reduces redness and protects skin against pollution
• ImerCare Vitaskin – an aquatic mineral which protects against pollution by absorbing airborne pollutants into its highly porous structure

Live and love your beauty with the Feel-Good Magic Stick!

This aqueous stick comes with a lightweight, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it feeling soft and hydrated with a fresh watery sensation.

Fuelled with Rootness® Mood+, a natural active ingredient that mimics the benefits of sunlight to boost the production of well-being molecules by the skin, and B-Circadin®, that helps the skin resynchronize its biological rhythm, this formulation instils a fresh “Joyology” push to lift the mood whenever one feels the need for it.

Let’s cut your body care routine in half thanks to this in-shower smooth gel!

S3D® HydraSplash Shower is a water-activated in-shower gel designed to be applied to wet skin to moisturise, sooth & maintain the hydration of the skin. This concept features PrimalHyal™ Hydra[+], a new cationic hyaluronic acid (HA) crafted by white biotechnology, BisaboLife®, a purest and sustainable (-)-α-bisabolol and Aloe Vera LG Veragel.

Bring skin hydration to the next level!

At Sequential, we have developed a proprietary skin patch as a skin microbiome testing method to extract microbial material from the skin in a way that is more efficient than any other method within the industry. We launched the world’s first at-home skin microbiome testing kit, and since then have developed our B2B2C offering, enabling brands to provide skin health reports and personalised product recommendations to their customers based on their individual microbiome profiles.

This innovation delivers a step-change for the industry by increasing brand and consumer awareness of the skin microbiome’s role in maintaining skin health. By using our at-home testing kit, brands can make better recommendations for their customers, and consumers can improve their skin health. Additionally, by helping consumers buy the right product for their skin microbiome, this innovation can help eliminate the waste created as a result of discarding ineffective products.

In the drive to achieve greater sustainability and reduce the environmental impact of the personal care products we use in our day to day lives, buying a concentrated shampoo or bodywash and diluting at home allows us to reduce the transportation impact on the environment and our reliance on plastic packaging. One major disadvantage in diluting a concentrate is that invariably this involves a difficult to handle high viscosity liquid that is diluted to a lower viscosity finished product… until now that is…

Using our patented science and technology, we have developed an innovative low viscosity blend of sulfate free surfactants that, when diluted in a 1:3 ratio with tap water in a refillable bottle, creates a viscous high foaming shampoo offering a texture similar to a conventional formulation. In addition to the reduction in water transport and removal of plastic packaging this formulation achieves above 96% naturality when calculated in accordance with the ISO 16128 guidelines.

How to use: To prepare the shampoo fill a refillable bottle up to ¼ full with the Super Sustainable Shampoo Concentrate. Fill the rest of the bottle with water. Replace the lid and shake the bottle well. A thick shampoo will be formed instantly. Allow to stand for the bubbles to clear. To use the shampoo apply to wet hair, lather and rinse.
