We’ve been working on this one for a long time, and we’re so excited it’s finally here. Our OC Beauty Powdered Body Wash is a low-waste, just-add-water cleanser that turns into a creamy wash you can use as a body wash, a quick hand wash, or even a shampoo in a pinch.
It’s simple, travel-friendly, and made right here with a whole lot of love (and a whole lot of testing) in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. If you’ve ever wished your shower routine could be easier, lighter, and a little more eco-friendly… this is for you.
What Is Powdered Body Wash?
Powdered body wash is exactly what it sounds like: a concentrated cleanser in powder form. You add water at home, give it a shake, and it transforms into a creamy, foamy wash. No shipping heavy water. Less plastic. Less waste. More “why didn’t I try this sooner?”
- Low-waste: reuse your bottle again and again
- Travel-friendly: packets are great for gym bags, camping, and carry-ons
- All-in-one: use it as body wash, hand wash, or shampoo
- Made in Canada: formulated and packed with care by our small team
How to Mix It (Our Recommended Method)
This is the method we use and love because it gives the best texture and performance.
- Fill a clean reusable bottle with 355 mL of room temperature water.
- Leave about 2–3 inches of space at the top (you need room to shake).
- Add one packet of Powdered Body Wash.
- Seal tightly and gently shake for 10–15 seconds.
- For best results, let it sit for 15–20 minutes so it can thicken.
Even better: let it sit overnight for the creamiest feel.
Want it thicker right away? Use a little less water (or shake again after 10 minutes).
How to Use It
- Body wash: pump into hands or a loofah, lather, and rinse.
- Hand wash: perfect by the sink when you want a quick, gentle cleanse.
- Shampoo (in a pinch): work into wet hair and scalp, then rinse well.
Because this is a concentrated cleanser, a little goes a long way. Start with one pump, then add more if you want extra lather.
Pro Tips for the Best Texture
- Shake, rest, shake again: shake for 10–15 seconds, rest 10 minutes, then shake again for a faster “gel” feel.
- Prefer it thicker? Use slightly less water or let it sit overnight.
- Prefer it lighter? Use the full 355 mL and don’t over-shake after it sets.
- Reuse your bottle: rinse and refill when you’re ready for the next packet.
A Note About Powder & Sensitive Noses
Like many fine powders, this can irritate the nose if inhaled directly. We recommend pouring slowly and keeping the packet away from your face. If you’re sensitive to powders, consider mixing in a well-ventilated area.
Tip: If you’re mixing multiple refills at once, let the powder settle before you handle open containers.

Why This Matters to Us (And How You’re Helping)
This launch isn’t just about creating a new product — it’s about creating impact. Hygiene is a basic need, and it shouldn’t be a luxury. With this product, we want to support our local community in a real, practical way.
Our plan: for every 100 packs of Powdered Body Wash sold (including 6-packs), we’ll be donating hygiene support to local homeless shelters. That may include product donations and/or direct support based on what our community partners need most at the time.
We’ll share updates as we go so you can see the impact you’re helping create — because shopping small can do big things.
FAQ
Does it actually foam?
Yes. Once mixed, it lathers up beautifully and rinses clean.
How long does one bottle last?
It depends on use, but because it’s concentrated, most people find they need less per wash than traditional liquid body wash.
How should I store the refill packets?
Keep them sealed, dry, and away from humidity. If water gets into the packet, it can clump.
Can kids use it?
Many families love it as an all-in-one option. As always, avoid getting cleanser in eyes and supervise younger kids during use.
