Use of 100% Biodegradable Packaging and Upcycling of Cosmetic Ingredients

Aromatica Launches 4 Types of Eco-Friendly Soap Bars View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Clean vegan beauty brand Aromatica (CEO Youngkyun Kim) announced on the 9th that it has launched four types of soap bars that allow consumers to practice plastic-free and zero waste lifestyles in daily life.


The four newly released soap bars are the result of long research and development, combining Aromatica’s corporate philosophy of “saving the Earth and saving the skin” with customer requests for solid cleansers that generate no plastic packaging. The new products consist of shampoo, conditioner, cleansing, and dishwashing detergent bars.


First, the “Rosemary Scalp Scaling Shampoo Bar” is a mildly acidic shampoo bar made from 100% natural ingredients. It contains salicylic acid, effective for exfoliation, and panthenol (provitamin B5), biotin (vitamin B7), and tocopherol (vitamin E), which nourish the scalp, gently removing old keratin from scalp pores to create a healthy scalp environment.


The “Rosemary Hair Thickening Conditioning Bar” contains organic babassu, moringa, and argan oils, forming a natural moisturizing barrier on frizzy and dry hair. Panthenol and tocopherol provide nourishment to fine and weak hair, helping restore the hair’s natural elasticity and softness.


The “Tea Tree Balancing Cleansing Bar” is an all-in-one cleansing bar that can be used not only on the face but also on troubled body skin. The main ingredient, Australian organic tea tree, helps control excessive oil and sebum, and it contains LHA, a mild peeling agent, which gently removes impurities from pores, leaving the skin smooth.


The “Rosemary Freckle Dishwashing Detergent Bar” is a solid dish detergent made from natural ingredients such as sugar, salt, baking soda, and corn starch. It is safe to use for washing food items like fruits and vegetables without worrying about detergent residue. In addition to using safe ingredients, it features natural surfactants derived from soapberry fruit and coconut, enhancing its cleaning power.


This new product line is even more special as it upcycles not only the packaging but also the soap ingredients. The packaging uses recycled paper made from sugarcane residue, and the cleansing and dishwashing bars, which show visible granules, are made by upcycling actual tea tree and rosemary raw materials used in cosmetic manufacturing. These granules serve as scrubs, effectively removing leftover residues during dishwashing while considering the environment.



An Aromatica representative said, “There were many difficulties in the manufacturing process of upcycling extraction residues, but this product was born from the efforts of all planners and researchers to truly practice zero waste.” They added, “Aromatica will continue to listen to consumer feedback and strive tirelessly to realize sincere and sustainable beauty.”
