- Abstract
- For every cosmetic product a
consumer buys, a new packaging (often plastic) is purchased
together with it. Every year, this
single-use behavior stands for 120
billion units of cosmetic packaging. For Europe alone, this is
the equivalent of 5 packed Avicii
Arenas. There is also a problem
in the transparency of eco-friendly products today, where the
recyclable packaging still ends
up in landfills, and companies are
buying eco-certifications to appear
greener. The third problem is the
perception of value in eco-friendly products versus the exclusive
ones. Is there a way to combine
sustainability with high-end cosmetics in the luxury market?

sustainability with high-end cosmetics in the luxury market?
During my research, I came across
waterless beauty, a concentrated
cosmetic product form where you
add water by yourself. Since cosmetics consist of up to 80% water,
this solution would lead to energy
savings in packaging, transportation, shipping, and logistics.
After conducting user tests and
interviews with chemists and cosmetic experts, my ideation phase
started with inspiration drawn from
the cosmetic front figure of the
Ancient Egypt era, Cleopatra. The
result became a brand for exclusive cosmetics, consisting of a
face stick and a mascara in solid
form, and a face cleansing powder,
providing a refillable packaging
system to minimise packaging and
product waste. (Less)
