REDUCING PLASTIC
MISSION STATEMENT
Plaine Products is one family’s answer to the earth’s single-use plastic crisis. Offering a line of toxin-free personal care products on a per-item or subscription basis, Plaine Products come in aluminum bottles that can be sent back and refilled time after time. The first of its kind and founded in 2017, Plaine Products has started a trend in personal care products that is quickly catching on, offering an alternative to single-use containers. Based in Cincinnati, OH, all of the products are vegan, non-GMO, cruelty-free, biodegradable, color-safe and free of parabens, sulfates and toxins; they’re good for the body and the planet. Plaine Products is proud to be reducing waste and helping stop the spread of single-use plastics. Read more on About Us, FAQs, or contact us at media@plaineproducts.com
