What if the tiny plastics in your daily shower were the key to a bigger problem—or the solution to it? Microplastics are making their way into rivers, oceans, and even tap water, and personal care products play a surprising role. The Good Edit’s powder-to-foam line is designed to cut plastic waste and minimize microplastic shedding—without compromising on luxury.
This post breaks down what microplastics are, how they enter our showers, and how switching to powder-to-foam can help you shower cleaner and greener, right here in your own bathroom.
What is microplastics?
Microplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5 millimeters. They can come from two main sources in everyday life: shedding from synthetic fabrics during washing and the use of personal care products that release microbeads or microfibers. When these particles wash away, they travel through wastewater systems and can end up in rivers, oceans, and even seafood. In Australia, protecting delicate coastal ecosystems and water supplies is especially important, given our unique biodiversity and climate. By choosing low-packaging, low-shed options, you can reduce the amount of microplastics entering our waterways with every shower.
How microplastics enter the shower?
First, consider personal care products. Some conventional shampoos and body washes contain microbeads or tiny plastics that wash down the drain and can slip through treatment plants. Then there’s laundry runoff—synthetic fabrics shed microfibers with every wash, adding more microplastics to wastewater. When you add up millions of showers, the impact becomes clear. The good news is there’s a practical, everyday way to reduce that impact: switch to products that are low in packaging and engineered to shed fewer microplastics.
Why does our powder-to-foam products help?
Think of it as a smarter, leaner way to cleanse. The Good Edit powder-to-foam concentrates cut plastic use by nature of packaging and require less water to activate. You still get a rich foam and thorough cleanse, but with a smaller environmental footprint. It’s a straightforward shift with a premium feel—no compromise on luxury, just smarter design for a healthier home and planet.
