Solid shampoo & shower gel for children

Sometimes it is not so easy to convince the dear child of the benefits of a hair wash. Of course, it goes without saying that a children's shampoo should not burn the eyes. All the nicer if it also prevents indignant exclamations à la "Iiiiiih, it pulls!" by benefiting the combability of the washed hair. Thus, this shampoo contains almond oil, shea butter and cocoa butter, thanks to which the hair can be easily combed after washing. Equally beneficial, these oils and fats unfold their nourishing effect when used as a shower gel on children's sensitive skin. For hair washing, the solid shampoo is lathered up in the hand, massaged into damp hair and rinsed out after a short soaking time. Also in the shower, the shower shampoo is simply foamed, distributed on the skin and rinsed off.

The plastic-free packaged shampoo and shower gel complements its caring effect with high environmental compatibility: it contains only purely natural active ingredients and fragrances and consistently does without microplastics.

The three founders of Hydrophil – Christoph Laudon, Wanja Johannes Weskott and Sebastian Bensmann – call themselves “water lovers”. And that’s what the name of their company means, since the name comes from the Ancient Greek, “hýdor” meaning water and “phílos”, loving. Their common interests and a blog post by Sebastian on “Water consumption in textile production” gave rise to a joint idea in 2013: They wanted to bring their own products to the market – fair-trade and vegan products manufactured in a water-friendly way. Water-friendly products are products whose components of natural origin have been cultivated without artificial irrigation and which, when composted, leave no harmful residues in the groundwater. Hydrophil’s first product – a T-shirt – proved enormously popular and prompted the founders to expand the range. The company now specialises in the manufacture of hygiene and personal care products – because, what better place to save water than in the bathroom?

By the way: Hydrophil donates 10% of the profits to the non-profit association Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli e.V., which is committed to providing access to clean drinking water and sanitary facilities for people in countries of the global south.
