What does this brand sell?
In 2019, Foamie was founded to revolutionise the bathroom and make it completely plastic-free. The products are for men, women, kids and even dogs. They are completely plastic-free, including microplastics, and come in a solid form, saving water and carbon emissions. They might look like soap but are actually soap-free, consisting only of mild washing-active substances with a formulation that is pH-optimised (a syndet). Foamie has become plastic-positive by supporting organisations that collect plastic for each product they sell.
The revolution in the bathroom – on the way to a plastic-free bath!

Generally all bars are EUR 4.95 and last from 20 applications for dry shampoo to approx. 85 applications for facial cleansing.
Due to the smaller and lighter nature of the solid products, there is less volume and weight that needs to be transported compared to liquids, optimising the carbon footprint. Moreover, Foamie uses grass cardboard rather than regular shipping cardboard, which saves 75% of CO2 emissions.
Not only their shipping materials consider carbon emissions, but also their logistics – transport routes are reduced by having added more central warehouses for the local supply of various markets, including the USA, UK and Poland.
They try to reduce carbon emissions in all aspects of their business, and therefore have switched to electric company cars as well as offering car-sharing cars for their employees.

As Foamie sells solid products rather than liquids that contain a lot of water (>80%), water is saved as products are concentrated and only contain what is needed. When it comes to packaging, grass cardboard is used which saves up to 6,000L of water compared to regular carton.

One of the main goals of Foamie is to clean up plastics and avoid using it. They contribute to various organisations that help collecting plastic before it enters our waterways and oceans, as well as being completely free of plastics and even being plastic positive. Through replacing plastic bottles, Foamie has saved over 80 tonnes of plastic from being wasted.
In principle, everything is biodegradable and is based on an easily biodegradable syndet base. This is tested for three of the final products to validate, which is done according to OECD standards. The three products that were tested for this are the Face Bar “Too Coal to Be True”, the Body Bar: “Oat To Be Smooth” and the Shampoo Bar: “Aloe You Vera Much”
