WB·STY·01    THE HOUSE

the story

Every bottle you have ever finished still exists somewhere. That is not a guilt trip — it is simply how the material behaves.

Bombay

Four hundred years is roughly how long a shampoo bottle outlasts the shampoo. Almost none of it is genuinely recycled once a pump has been fitted, because the spring, the gasket and the dip tube are three different materials pretending to be one object.

So we sell you the bottle once and the refill for ever. No pledge, no offsetting, no leaf on the label. Just fewer bottles.

In the bottle

Snow mushroom for hyaluronic acid. Rice bran and oat ceramides for the synthesised kind. Soapnut and shikakai for sulphates. Flax and marshmallow mucilage for silicone. Every substitution is a plant that was doing the job first.
