Solid lotions: what they are and why they are the future of personal care

In the world of personal care, new trends are emerging that combine practicality, sustainability, and effectiveness. One of the most innovative is solid creams, an alternative to conventional creams that is gaining increasing popularity in Mexico and worldwide.

What are solid creams?

Solid creams are concentrated formulas that, instead of coming in plastic containers with water and liquid emulsions, are presented in the form of a bar, balm, or ointment. When applied, the warmth of the skin gently melts the oils and butters they contain, providing deep hydration and leaving a silky texture.

Benefits compared to traditional creams

1. Plastic-free packaging → can be packaged in recyclable or biodegradable materials, reducing environmental impact.

2. Longer lasting → being concentrated, they last longer than a liquid cream with water as a base.

3. Natural and powerful ingredients → are usually formulated with vegetable oils, butters, and vitamins, without unnecessary fillers.

4. Practicality → they are easy to transport, do not spill, and you can carry them in your backpack or even on a plane.

5. More concentrated formulas, take up less space

Common examples of solid care

• Multipurpose balms for lips, face, or dry areas.

• Solid body butters to deeply nourish the skin.

• Solid deodorants without aluminum, made with botanical ingredients.
