University of East Anglia
Professional Beauty UK reports that a new technology developed by university researchers can turn moisturiser into small discs of paperlike material.
This breakthrough from the University of East Anglia (UEA) means that 98% of the water in beauty products like moisturiser, sun cream, shampoo and conditioner can be removed. Users simply need to add a drop of water to the paper-like disc to rehydrate it instantly.
The researchers believe this technology could potentially revolutionise the beauty industry by dramatically reducing both its carbon footprint and packaging waste. And, it also removes the need for preservatives in these products and improves their shelf life.
