Innovation

Industry Problem

Traditional liquid shampoos and conditioners typically contain over 80% water, increasing the carbon footprint due to transportation and requiring larger plastic packaging that contributes to environmental pollution

R&D Focus

Waterless Haircare products

Innovative Solution

Susteau has developed innovative, waterless hair care products that transform from powder to liquid upon contact with water

Solution Effectiveness

Susteau reduces the weight and volume of shipped goods and extends the product’s life, as one bottle can last for about 60 washes compared to the standard 15 washes from an 8-ounce liquid shampoo bottle
