Design Prompt

Rethink the Batiste user experience through an out of the box product concept focused on alternative application, packaging, or format.

Our Answer

Batiste FiberWash

Batiste FiberWash replaces liquid shampoo with a dissolvable fiber pad that activates with just a few drops of water. By removing excess water and aerosol, it delivers the same clean in a lighter, more compact, and travel friendly format.

Inspiration and Path Forward

We started by looking at Olay Face Melts because the dissolvable format offers controlled dosing, portability, and a clean user experience. This led to the question of whether that same form could be adapted for shampoo or conditioner rather than skincare.

Material Constraints

Because the fiber needs to remain dry until use, moisture control in a humid bathroom environment became a key constraint. The container was designed to stay sealed while still allowing quick, one handed access for dispensing.
