empowermefirst - student projects: Solid Cosmetics
We make higher education accessible - against all odds!
“Only we humans make waste that nature can’t digest.” – Charles Moore, oceanographer
Our students create solid cosmetics such as shampoo-conditioner-shower bars, body butter bars, and facial scrub bars, which use certified natural ingredients, and use their ICT skills to market them online as well as to tourists.
We have been working on different formulations for solid shampoo-conditioner-shower bars and body-butter bars. We’re usually the best ingredients based on natural resources such as mango butter and coconut oil. They are very skin and hair friendly and will be ready for sale soon in Zimbabwe and Switzerland. Contact us, if you’re interested in partnering with us, for instance in resale and find them for the Swiss market on our online shop below.
All ingredients are certified for natural cosmetics.
