Ausmetics Daily Chemicals (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd
Ausmetics Agarose Waterless Cleansing Pearls
Designed to offer a closed-loop sustainability solution from sourcing to end of life, these pearls are formulated as a dry-stable, water-activated gel system built on an agarose matrix. In contrast to bars, sheets, or powders, each pearl offers a precise single dose of cleanser that dissolves completely, leaving no microplastics behind. The pearls are made with a natural surfactant blend, composed of camellia seed, soapberry saponins, and biodegradable glycolipid biosurfactants, which deliver effective, mild cleansing and a soft, non-tight effect on the skin. The pearls are fashioned in moldable shapes, and their packaging is plastic-free – available either as FSC-certified recycled paper or plantable seed paper – and printed with vegetable inks.

Product Description
Agarose Waterless Cleansing Pearls were born from the idea: “sourced from nature, used on the body, returned to nature.” We explored waterless formats, ran quick concept tests with travelers and zero‑waste consumers, and landed on agarose for precise, single‑dose use and full biodegradability. The name highlights the core material and ritual: add water, the pearl dissolves, impurities wash away. Our triple natural‑surfactant blend (camellia seed, soapberry, glycolipid biosurfactants) cleanses effectively yet gently, reducing reliance on petro‑surfactants.
Claims & Benefits
1. Effective daily cleansing; rinses clean with no tightness
2. Gentle, low‑irritation surfactant system; skin‑barrier friendly
3. Waterless, plastic‑free format; reduces transport weight/volume
4. Single‑dose control; hygienic, mess‑free, travel‑ready

Technical Details
1. Format & Function: Solid, single‑dose cleansing pearls leveraging agarose’s thermo‑reversible gel. Stable dry; activate instantly with water (“dissolves with water, melts on skin”).
2. Key Ingredients (functional): Camellia seed extract (gentle foam), soapberry extract (saponins; detergency/antimicrobial), glycolipid biosurfactants (e.g., sophorolipids; mildness/biodegradability).
3. Draft INCI (to be finalized post‑stability/regulatory): Agar (and) Agarose; Sophorolipids; Camellia Oleifera Seed Extract; Sapindus Mukorossi Fruit Extract.
4. Packaging: Primary—FSC‑certified recycled paper or plantable seed paper. No plastic bottles/pumps.
5. Design Uniqueness: Moldable shapes (planets/leaves) for intuitive single‑dose use; zero‑waste ritual.
6. Sustainability: Waterless production focus; biodegradable matrix; compostable format.

What sets your product apart and why is it innovative and special?
1. Ausmetics’ Agarose Waterless Cleansing Pearls replace liquid-in-plastic with a dry-stable, water-activated gel system built on an agarose matrix. Unlike bars, sheets, or powders, each pearl is a precise, hygienic single dose that dissolves completely—no microplastics, no bottle, no mess. Our triple natural-surfactant blend—camellia seed, soapberry saponins, and biodegradable glycolipid biosurfactants—delivers effective cleansing with elevated mildness and a soft, non-tight finish, reducing reliance on petro-surfactants.
2. Design is integral to function: moldable shapes cue intuitive dosing and create a memorable “drop-wet-dissolve-cleanse” ritual. The pearls’ dry state minimizes preservative need and slashes transport weight/volume, advancing both safety and footprint goals. Packaging is plastic-free (FSC-certified recycled paper or optional plantable seed paper), printed with vegetable inks, enabling a genuinely closed loop—from renewable inputs to home-compostable end-of-life.
3. Validated through quick concept tests with travelers and zero-waste consumers, the format solves real pain points (leaks, TSA limits, overuse) while elevating sensoriality. The result is a distinctive, scalable platform for face/body SKUs and amenity programs that blends material science (thermo-reversible agarose gel), green surfactant chemistry, and zero-plastic design into one elegant innovation.
How do you promote your product on multiple channels?
1. Education‑first content. Short videos and carousels explain why waterless formats matter (carbon, water, plastic reduction), how the agarose matrix works, and how our triple natural‑surfactant system cleanses gently without sulfates. We’ll publish ingredient spotlights (camellia, soapberry, biosurfactants) and behind‑the‑scenes R&D diaries.
2. Sensory demos. “Just‑add‑water” reels and in‑store bowls show pearls dissolving into a silky gel. Travel‑use clips (gym, hotel, flight) highlight hygiene and convenience. UGC challenges: “One Pearl, One Wash.”
3. Professional & B2B. Webinars for buyers/formulators on waterless formulation design, agarose processing, and biosurfactant mildness/biodegradability. Trade‑show samplings with sealed hygiene packs; technical one‑pagers for private‑label clients.
How does your product meet the evaluation criteria of its category?
1. Innovation & Originality. A novel agarose solid‑state cleanser that is dry‑stable yet water‑activated, enabling precise single‑dose use and eliminating liquid packaging.
