14-year-old turns plastic-free shampoo into waste-free product business

No more bottles, No more waste. NOHBO Drops are single use, water soluble drops containing shampoo, conditioner, body wash or shaving cream.

A biodegradable, single-use personal care product that is eco-friendly and completely waste-free!

Each Drop, when mixed with shower water for 2-4 seconds, will produce an excellent personal care experience with no harsh chemicals, free of parabens and sulfates, and no damage to the environment.

Meet NOHBO

In 2018, NOHBO unleashed its Drop line. Following years of extensive research & development, and thousands of hours locking themes in the lab till breakthroughs were reached, the team behind NOHBO successfully developed the world’s first single use, water soluble Drop for personal care products. 

One simply takes a shampoo drop in their hands under shower water, and the product melts instantly. 

NOHBO Drops are comprised of two parts; An outer film utilising the most advanced up-and-coming water-soluble technology, alongside a moisturising base comprised of shampoo, conditioner, body wash OR shaving cream.

NOHBO was quickly formed in an effort to combat that waste, and create a superior line of eco-friendly personal care products.

NOHBO say they seek to solve environmental problems with eco-friendly solutions that help to prevent plastic waste in our ecosystems, all while delivering a superior showering and hygiene experience.

To achieve these aims, NOHBO:

• Replace Plastic: eliminate the cycle of reducing, reusing, and recycling by replacing plastics in the bathroom with plant-based, eco-friendly products.
• Cruelty-Free: use high quality, sulphate, paraben free and vegan ingredients that are NOT tested on animals. NOHBO does not incorporate animal testing into their development phase or production level for any of their products.
• Harmony: create a harmonious living space, free of clutter, plastic, or disposable, items.
• Made in the USA: NOHBO Drops starts right in sunny Melbourne, Florida, where makers ensure the highest quality care goes into making every drop.
• Travel Ready: NOHBO Drops are TSA compliant and super easy to travel with. Just throw a few drops in a container and place accordingly in your bag. Don’t worry, they don’t leak easily.
• Salon Quality: for professional use in a salon or at home, the quality stays the same.

Single-use pod technology is very new and exciting

There is a plethora of uses for this amazing eco-friendly advancement, as well as continuous challenges to tackle. 

NOHBO’s first product, a signature Shampoo Drop, is one of 4 core lines set to be released. Their conditioner, body wash, and shaving cream Drop lines are due to launch in the Spring of 2019. 

NOHBO’s philosophy is to treat your body and the earth with equal care, so they ensure their products are designed around that mindset. The packaging is even derived from biodegradable plant plastic materials.

The people at NOHBO believe safety comes first, especially when dealing with podded products in a household environment.

So that’s why the products are natural and comprised of mostly food grade ingredients. 

NOHBO has added a bitter flavor to keep away curious mouths, and configured the packaging to be durable against young hands. 

Nevertheless, even with these deterrents in place, the makers strongly recommend NOHBO Drops be kept away from young children and the showers that the young ones wash in.
