A new mix-it-yourself hand soap has been launched by FORGO, a brand that avoids plastic and minimises carbon emissions. True to its aim, the hand soap comes only in concentrated powder, along with a refillable glass bottle. The powder contains the essential ingredients needed to turn regular tap water into a full bottle of foaming hand wash. Designboom has the details:
form us with love worked with a lab specialized in natural cosmetics to develop the powder, which includes six core ingredients that have been around since the eighties. the FORGO handwash comes in three scents — neutral, citrus and wood — all packaged in the studio’s signature minimal aesthetic.
we have defined our mission as design real change, our guide to influence everything we do here at form us with love. this ambition is very time-consuming,’ says jonas pettersson, CEO at form us with love. ‘it means we have to dig deep to influence entire industries, and make better products in terms of innovation, sustainability, quality production to make things long-lasting solutions.’

Nothing new under the sun. Most gas station type bathrooms had powdered soap dispensers. Just add water. Then it fell out of fashion. Now it's back.

Someone should tell them about such things as 'a bar of soap'. Just add water.
