One by One

Kristín Guðmundsdóttir’s project encloses cleansing balls made primarily from Icelandic herbs into a porcelain container that dispenses one ball at the time.

Developed by Kristín Guðmundsdóttir as her graduation project at the Iceland Academy of the Arts, One by One is a new concept in cosmetic cleansers.

The cleansing balls are made primarily from Icelandic herbs, focusing on natural, non-toxic ingredients. The soft balls contain a single-use dose of cosmetic cleanser that dissolves during use, countering the rapidly growing enviromental problem of disposable cleansing cloths. The product is rubbed between wet hands and applied to the face with gentle hand strokes. The material efficiently removes all make up and cleanses the face with only hands and water, reducing the amount of disposable fiber cloths that contribute to the waste stream. The container is specially designed from porcelain, dispensing one ball at the time. The container is convenient for traveling and is reusable, able to be refilled time and again.
