Deardot - Water-Activated Shampoo Sheet

A PVA-free, solid shampoo sheet that offers a single dose of shampoo that activates on contact with water, to offer an alternative to liquid shampoo, resulting in a reduction in single-use plastic. The sheets are composed of celluble, a proprietary core material that supports the stable, water-activated solid sheet structure; vegan PDRN derived from sodium DNA, to support scalp and hair vitality care in a rinse-off format; saccharomyces and Citrus grandis peel ferment extract to support antioxidant protection and a fresh, sensorial feel; and a cleansing base of sodium cocoyl isethionate with mild surfactants for a rich lather and clean rinse. To use, one sheet is taken with dry hands, with water added and the sheet rubbed to create a lather. The lather is then applied to wet hair and scalp and massaged, before being rinsed thoroughly.

Product Innovation
This shampoo rethinks hair cleansing through PVA free solid sheet system paired with eco-friendly water-soluble packaging. Unlike conventional bottled shampoos and PVA based sheet formulations, the formula is engineered to deliver a stable and eco-friendly sheet that activates quickly with water. The innovation combines a precise single dose format for consistent use, lightweight logistics for travel and distribution, and a simplified user experience that reduces leakage risk while improving portability. The packaging concept further differentiates the product by replacing single use plastic with a dissolvable format designed for lower waste use.
