Beachpowder Ltd is the company behind a new, talc-free, natural product that effortlessly removes sand from the skin.
The product was inspired by the Isle of Man’s sandy beaches, enjoyed by the founder and her family for generations.
Its creation encourages more people to use the Island’s beautiful beaches, which are promoted on the product’s website.
When developing the product, Beachpowder researched natural mica, which creates sparkle. However, it discovered that child-labour is sometimes used in mining natural mica, so instead chose synthetic mica, which is more expensive but ethically produced.
The ingredients in the product are natural plant and mineral powders, which don’t harm the environment.
Beachpowder’s packaging is cardboard apart from the lid and base, which are made from recycled plastic and can be removed and recycled again. The company will switch to plant-based plastic for these as soon as it is possible to do so.
The company re-uses packaging materials and, when despatching orders, uses recycled corrugated cardboard rather than plastic.
It limits energy use in its workshop, preferring to wear warmer clothes rather than put on heating and using energy-efficient lightbulbs.
The company recycles paper and glass and provides re-usable stainless steel water bottles for its employees.
The company supports the Family Library in Douglas and 10% of sales made in the library during its ocean-themed summer reading scheme will go directly to support the facility.
