The company is working to make water soluable packaging for all of it's products, starting with their refillable hand soap line.

“We start using the water soluble material for our new products. We're trying to innovate this water soluble material with compostable packaging so that within six months or less you have no packaging whatsoever left on the planet,” said Michael Constantine, Creative Marketing Director for Junk Free Skin.

But it is not just for hand soaps, Junk Free Skin also uses water soluable material for their bath bombs and shower fizzers.

"We are shrink wrapping it in that water soluble film. So the end user basically just drops it at the top.All the package just disappears," said Akers.

Junk Free Skin hopes to become the number one factory for businesses big and small to use for personal care manufacturing, eliminating the unnecessary waste in the world, one pod at a time.

Junk Free Skin will be apart of the annual WNY Sustainability Business Summit on November 16th.
