Uni, the Marc Atlan-designed bodycare system, launches with $4 million in celebrity seed funding.
WHO: Uni is a closed-loop system for body care created by former tech founder Alexandra Keating. The range was developed with a proprietary Marine Complex paired with face-grade actives intended to set a new standard of high-performance and low-impact formulas. The Marc Atlan-designed modular refill system reduces single-use plastic by separating the dispenser from the refill for a zero-waste packaging solution. The range includes a body wash, shampoo, conditioner, body serum, and hand wash priced from $27 to $36, available as one-time purchases and by subscription.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS: "Uni was designed to eradicate future production of toxins and plastic waste that enter the ocean through our products. That meant looking at every aspect from upcycled ingredients to a new innovative system of reuse. But for Uni to make an impact, we had to make a product that people wanted, and it was clear to me that the opportunity was in performance based products and innovative design," said Alexandra Keating, founder and CEO of Uni.
Uni's Creative Director Marc Atlan, known for his award-winning, visionary work with Comme des Garçons, Kjaer Weis, and Maison Margiela, brought Uni to life. "Uni's design is sustainable but doesn't compromise on elegance. It is unique, minimal and timeless," said Atlan. The two-and-a-half-year development process incorporated every aspect of Uni's packaging, masterfully concepted and crafted to provide a unique refillable system.
“The hospitality industry is far too reliant on single-use packaging. The shift to reusable, refillable, and ocean-safe solutions should be adopted by every player in the industry," said Ashton Kutcher of SOUNDWaves. "Uni has created a sustainable offering that's better for you and the environment."
