Distributor for highly innovative and environmentally friendly personal care products sought by Swedish SME
The Swedish SME is an established company within the personal care industry, which provides an innovative breakthrough consumer product with natural ingredients and free from single-use plastic packaging. The SME was established 2 years ago and has experience of international cooperation and a growing market in the Nordics.
Clean hands and personal care are essential to everyone. The problem with traditional products like soap is that they are about 80% water and come filled in single-use plastic bottles that pollute the environment. That means the consumers are paying for plastic waste, and shipping water that they already have at home.
The product offered is a natural powder that turns tap water into liquid hand- and body wash. The customer simply fills the reusable bottle with water, adds in the ingredients and gives it a quick shake that creates a full bottle of liquid personal care.
The bottles are beautiful, refillable and designed to last a lifetime. Thus, the customer never has to buy and throw away another plastic soap bottle. The refill packaging is made of bio-based material and decomposes in nature. The refills are compact and fit through the letterbox, making home delivery easy.
The SME is looking for a distribution agreement. This cooperation type was selected as the SME wishes to distribute their product to enable sustainable living for more people and make a bigger environmental impact. This could be realized with a partner acting as distributor in any of the following product categories: eco-friendly products, natural cosmetics, well-being, interior design, bathroom décor, aesthetic consumer products.
