Skin care product made from organic industrial waste
It’s not every day that someone looks at industrial waste and says, “I want to put this on my face.” Believe it or not, a couple of years ago, owners at AIZOME started developing just that, a skin care product called WASTECARE™, made from their textile dyeing wastewater. The company’s day job is creating organic cotton bedding using plant-based dyes, so the wastewater already was devoid of chemicals. The dyes it uses come from plants with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, such as sumac, indigo, Rubia, saffron, mangosteen and turmeric.
