The Business Basics:
Founder, Prisca Ongonga-Daehn embarked on a journey to lead a more sustainable life after a conversation with her teenage daughter, who was becoming increasingly concerned about the planet’s future. While she could find solutions for cleaning, kitchen and household items, Prisca quickly became frustrated by the lack of simple, zero-waste solutions in the personal care and beauty space.
In her search for the ideal solution, she had real and intentional conversations with communities of like-minded Australians and she discovered that she was not alone in her frustration. She discovered that people all over the country were looking for zero-waste personal care products that were good for the planet, but still good for their skin. This product didn’t exist.
Prisca was certain she wanted to create a product that eliminated the need for single-use plastics. The vision was for a refillable bottle that could be used time and time again.
But, as part of her sustainability journey, Prisca discovered the extreme levels of carbon emission that are emitted from transporting dense, liquid products around the world. So, she wondered – does this product need to be in liquid form?
Prisca went on a two-year journey to find a way to cut out the water and innovate a waterless solution that’s kinder on the skin and our planet.
The result? A plant-based hand and body powder concentrate delivered in a certified home-compostable sachet. And so, in finding a zero-waste solution that’s better for you and the planet, baresop. was born.

All of baresop products are proudly: plant based, vegan, cruelty free, palm oil free and septic tank friendly, female founder and director, biodegradable, compostable
