AC338 Seas the Day
Seas the Day is just one of many formulations in Innospec’s collection, available as a bar, stick or puck format.
The bar shown in the video features Innospec’s sulfate-free surfactants, Iselux LQ-CLR-SB and Pureact I-85EC for mild, gentle cleansing and uses zero waste packaging that dissolves during the first use.
The shampoo is easily rinsed from the hair, so there is less water usage when rinsing. It also uses a heat and pour method into mould formulation, which means many shapes are possible when creating this shampoo.
Innospec’s promise when formulating to reduce plastic and water usage:
- To offer a variety of concentrated ingredients and solid formulations that require less water, plastic and packaging
- Provide ingredients that deliver ease of rinsability, using less water during use
- Offer concentrated solutions to reduce transportation costs
- Provide support and inspiration for packaging such as aluminium and recyclable options for environmentally friendly products.
