Step One
Powder, cold tap water, a stir and it's done: you have a shower gel, a shampoo, a deodorant.
Step One is a brand of healthy, ecological and solidarity products. No water carried, no bottle thrown away and healthy ingredients. Discover a different way to consume your hygiene products without consuming plastic.
It was in 2019 in Aurillac that Step One was born. With 10 years of experience, Héloïse Fontaine, an environmental engineer with a specialization in water treatment and health risks, makes an observation.
Seeing the overconsumption of packaging, the thousands of kilometers traveled by products from their manufacture to our bathrooms, she decided to create Step One.
Step One strives to find alternative, ecological and affordable solutions. Although the question seems complex, the answer was quite simple: the products had to be simplified and rendered in their simplest and most basic form. It therefore simplifies the recipes to keep only the essentials!
With the help of the public, fundraising campaigns on Ulule allow Step One to see the light of day and approve Héloïse Fontaine's approach.
Research materializes and Step One gives birth to its first products and the public is there!
Step One products are therefore products in powder form.
Removing water from its recipes eliminates a large part of the weight and therefore of the carbon impact of transport. The products are intended to be refillable, which also eliminates containers, bottles and boxes.
Making it at home is simple: add water, stir, wait and the product is thus reconstituted.
Step One now offers deodorants, shower gels, shampoos and facial cleansers. With its natural and refreshing scents, Step One turns your bathroom upside down for its greatest good. And the planet is better off for it!
