Solid cosmetics without water: more effective, less waste

Water is everywhere: in cosmetics, in packaging, in our daily routine. But do we really need all of it? In traditional cosmetics, we often don't. Here's why choosing solid water is better—for you and the environment.

Liquid cosmetics contain up to 85% water

Many products you use every day—from shampoo to body lotion—are largely made of water. But water doesn't cleanse, nourish, or protect. It simply adds volume. Preservatives, thickeners, and synthetic ingredients do the rest.

• Preservatives : often irritating, they serve to prevent bacterial growth in water.
• Strong fragrances : to mask the smell of synthetic ingredients.
• Larger packaging : transporting water weighs more and pollutes more.

Waterless = more results, less irritation

When you eliminate water, you also eliminate everything you don't need. Solid cosmetics contain only active ingredients: those that actually do something for your skin or hair.

• Concentrated formulas : you only need a little, but it works immediately.
• Zero harsh preservatives : less risk of irritation or allergies.
• Only effective ingredients : vegetable oils, nourishing butters, selected and delicate surfactants.

Better for you. Better for the planet.

Your choice also impacts the environment. Liquid cosmetics don't just waste water in their formulations: they also waste it in production, transportation, and disposal. A 10-minute shower uses up to 95 liters of water. And many ingredients end up in drains, polluting our seas and rivers.

DRYDEE solid cosmetics use no water in their formula or production. And they last longer.

• Lighter to ship = fewer emissions
• 100% plastic-free : recycled or compostable paper packaging
• Zero polluting ingredients : no microplastics, no silicones, no ethoxylated surfactants

What makes a DRYDEE cosmetic different

It's not just the solid form. It's the philosophy: choose fewer ingredients, but carefully selected ones. Our products are formulated with expertise in biology, botany, and phytotherapy. Each ingredient has a specific function. Nothing is thrown in "for show."

• Shampoos and cleansers : formulated with gentle surfactants such as Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, non-ethoxylated and biodegradable.
• Refillable packaging : FSC paper + reusable bamboo caps
• Minimal formulas : fewer ingredients, more effectiveness

Beauty that doesn't waste (and doesn't pollute)

Waterless isn't a trend. It's a smarter way to create—and use—cosmetics. More effective, less waste. Because taking care of yourself shouldn't harm you or your surroundings.
