# Powder-to-Liquid Hand Soaps Forgo Makes Natural Hand Wash with Less Packaging Waste By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-03-09 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-hand-wash References: [thedieline](https://thedieline.com/blog/2020/3/8/-forgo---powder-to-liquid-hand-wash-is-a-sleek-proof-of-concept) & [forgo.se](https://www.forgo.se/) Forgo makes 99% natural hand wash powder that can be activated with water, helping to minimize waste packaging waste that comes from throwaway plastic bottles and bags. The [powder-to-liquid hand wash](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerious-by-arove) can be prepared in one of Forgo's [reusable glass dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanity-groups), although it is not necessary and consumers can certainly use what they already have. Rather than having to purchase or pick up heavy liquid-filled hand wash bottles, consumers are given the ability to make their own hand wash on-demand with powder that comes in a slim package that's lightweight and easy to ship. The individual powder packets have a [water-soluble heat sealable coating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wanderluxe-beauty), which means that they can be recycled in normal paper streams.
