Launching a Plastic Neutral, Luxury, Sustainable and Stylish Hand Sanitizer During the Pandemic with Paume’s Amy Welsman

In today’s episode, we chat with Amy Welsman from Paume. We learn how Amy’s antibacterial hand gel was already in development when COVID changed everything. Why she was inspired to create a luxury sustainable and stylish hand hygiene brand, how Paume is addressing waste with their unique and chic refillable pumps, previously recycled materials and plastic neutral certification. We discover the potential risks of white labelling, why Amy has chosen sustainably produced, bio-degradable and plant-based ingredients, what she’s avoiding in her formulations that you’ll want to avoid too. And the challenges of launching during a pandemic when everyone was rushing a hand sanitizer to market.

If you want to learn more about Amy and her nourishing hand sanitizer that’s better for you and mindful of the planet. Visit https://mypaume.com. Want to show your hands some love?
