The personal care and beauty industry is undergoing a significant transformation driven by resource efficiency, consumer demand, and a focus on sustainability. Traditionally, water has been a dominant ingredient in personal care and cosmetics products, comprising up to 60 to 95% of the formulations in products such as shampoos and creams, acting as a solvent and texture enhancer. However, extensive use of water also creates environmental challenges, especially as the global water scarcity intensifies.

Water-free formulations address these concerns by eliminating the need for water content in formulations. It offers an eco-friendly and concentrated alternative to the traditional water-heavy products. Water-free formulation-based products contain little to no water, and they rely on oils, butter, and waxes. The products are designed with the company's sustainability goals in mind, reducing its water consumption and waste.
