Innovations Shaping the Waterless Cosmetics Sector
Industry leaders are increasingly concentrating on waterless technologies to minimize water usage in product manufacturing, boost sustainability, and deliver concentrated formulas with extended shelf lives. Waterless technology involves creating beauty, skincare, and personal care products without-or with significantly reduced-water content. These formulations rely on concentrated, powder-based, or oil-based ingredients to achieve effectiveness and stability.

For example, in March 2023, the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the UK introduced Dries, a groundbreaking waterless technology designed to remove nearly all water from products such as shampoos, lotions, and cleansers, which usually contain 85% to 98% water by weight. This innovation employs a no-heat drying process that preserves the stability and potency of delicate active ingredients like peptides and proteins, which often degrade under conventional spray-drying methods that involve heat. This advancement marks a significant step forward in producing high-quality waterless cosmetic products.
