OUR PLANT-BASED INGREDIENTS

BIO-TERGE BEADS

(INCI Name: Sodium C Olefin Sulfonate) - Cleansing

It is a biodegradable powder foaming surfactant which effectively cleanses the skin without drying and produces a foam when activated with water. The powder is a hero ingredient within all Ethosa’s shower powders and brings the product experience to life.


DIUTAN GUM

(INCI Name: Sphingomonas ferment extract) - Texturiser

It is a natural polysaccharide (or carbohydrate) that originates from a natural fermented bacteria called sphingomonas. This ingredient gives the product it’s viscosity, or depth, fluidity and glide on the skin, making it a sensorial washing experience in all of Ethosa’s shower powders.


LATHANOL

(INCI Name: Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate) - Cleansing

Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (also known as SLSA), is a biodegradable, mild and safe skin cleanser which offers fantastic foaming qualities, without the drawbacks of other drying and harsher foaming agents such as SLS due to its larger molecules. It is 100% natural and derived from coconut or palm oils, and conforms to Ecocert’s rigorous natural and organic cosmetic standards and is one of our hero ingredients across the Ethosa range.


SAPONIN

(INCI Name: Camellia Oleifera Seed Extract) - Foaming Cleanser

It is a 100% plant based natural dry powder and forms the basis of Ethosa sensory shower powder formulations. It is activated upon use with water and provides a gentle, yet effective foam to wash with daily as well as delivering anti-microbial cleansing benefits to the skin, removing daily grime and sweat. It is extracted from the cold pressed extraction of tea seeds from Camelia oil, is Cosmos certified and a cleverly upcycled and sustainable by-product of the tea industry.


PDV SALT

(INCI Name: Sodium Chloride) - Texturiser

IT is commonly known as table salt, and gives all Ethosa powders texture when activated with water. It also has a slight exfoliating action due to the natural shape of the microscopic grains and helps in aiding dead skin removal to leave a softer skin after use.


SODIUM GLUCONATE

(INCI Name: Sodium Gluconate) - Texturiser

It is a naturally derived sodium salt from plants. It is used in all of Ethosa’s formulations to give texture to the product as well as keeping skin silky soft during the washing process.

WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE

ETHOSA's shower gel scent is a blend of Natural Essential Oils of Eucalyptus, Bergamot & Rosemary and is inspired by Aromatherapy. 


🌱 Eucalyptus, refreshing and relaxing, a favourite in Spas, Steam Rooms and Saunas. Instantly recognisable fresh, sharp, camphoraceous top note and penetrating, woody undertones. Eucalyptus is often associated as a stimulating oil, however it is just as effective as Lavender at aiding a good night's sleep, by promoting a sense of wellbeing and happiness in the mind.


🍊 Bergamot, a sweet, lemon-like, fresh top note with warm, floral and balsamic undertones. The Happy Oil, that brings sunshine and happiness. It is described as a feel-good oil and is naturally uplifting. 


🪴 Rosemary, refreshing and cleansing with its sharp and recognisable scent. It is stimulating and aids concentration; it instantly clears the mind.

WHY PRODUCE WATERLESS?

To understand the concept of waterless, it's important to first understand how beauty products are formulated.


Did you know that most skincare products such as cleansers or moisturisers can contain between 60-90% water? On the back of your products, you can check the ingredient list, commonly referred to as an INCI. Traditional products list ‘aqua’ or ‘eau’ (water) at the top. This hierarchy also indicates the highest ingredient quantities within that product. Water is usually added for texture or as a filler; ultimately, it’s cheaper for brands to produce. Unfortunately, this encourages the use of plastic packaging to hold the product and makes products heavy to transport.


Waterless is a positive start in addressing a huge environmental issue, the generation of carbon emissions. Ethosa only ships powder, no water.

WHY A SHOWER POWDER AND NOT A SOAP BAR?

Whilst beauty bars or soaps are becoming popular due to their sustainable credentials, they may not always be as nourishing for the skin as you think; soaps can have a pH of 9-10. This is very alkaline, which can disturb the natural skin flora leading to a feeling of dryness, tightness or dehydration.


As well as being waterless, which is actually less harsh on the skin, Ethosa Powder clever Shower Gel Formulations are pH-balanced. This is key to maintain balance and prevent dryness.

HOW DOES THE EFFICACY OF ETHOSA COMPARE WITH OTHER PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET?

Ethosa’s products are as efficient as other products on the market. Their performance has been tested and approved.


Additionally, Ethosa’s ingredients have been carefully selected for their benefits on the skin; the gels leave the skin smooth and hydrated.

WHAT DOES THE SHOWER GEL SMELL LIKE?

ETHOSA's shower gel scent is a blend of Natural Essential Oils of Eucalyptus, Bergamot & Rosemary and is inspired by Aromatherapy. 

HOW LONG DOES 1 BOTTLE OF ETHOSA SHOWER GEL LAST?

We say that 1 shower gel bottle of 400ml equals 1 month of showers (= 30 showers). This of course depends on your showering habits.
