Reducing Single-Use Plastic in a Whole New Way

Plaine Products Partners with Bleu World to Pick Up 547 Pounds of Trash From Holiday Sales

This holiday season, Plaine Products teamed up with Bleu World, an ocean conservation organization, to turn your purchases into impactful action. For every order placed during our Holiday Sale, we pledged to pick up one pound of trash, reducing single-use plastic waste in a whole new way. Thanks to your support, we’re thrilled to announce that a total of 547 pounds of trash will be removed from our environment. Together, we’ve made waves of change—and we’re just getting started.

Bleu World: Guardians of the Ocean

Bleu World is on a mission to protect marine ecosystems through community-based research, cleanups, and education. By hosting regular beach and underwater cleanups, they bring together ocean changemakers who are passionate about conservation, exploration, and science. Their dedication to protecting the oceans aligns seamlessly with Plaine Products’ commitment to reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainability. During this partnership, Bleu World is focusing their cleanup efforts in Southern California, removing trash from beaches and underwater areas to restore these vital ecosystems. Their work goes beyond just picking up litter—they’re fostering a community of conservationists ready to protect our oceans for generations to come.

Shared Values, Shared Mission of Reducing Single-Use Plastic 

At Plaine Products, we’re driven by a simple yet powerful mission: to keep plastic out of our oceans and landfills. We achieve this by offering refillable aluminum bottles for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and other personal care products. By choosing aluminum over plastic, we’re reducing single-use plastic waste and encouraging others to join us in creating a cleaner, greener planet. Our story began when sisters Lindsey and Alison Delaplaine decided to take a stand against plastic pollution. Lindsey’s decade of living and working in The Bahamas gave her a front-row seat to the devastating impact of plastic waste. Seeing beaches and oceans littered with plastic bottles and debris, she knew something had to change. After reflecting on the amount of plastic in her own bathroom, she called Alison, and together they created Plaine Products to make sustainable living easy and accessible for everyone. Partnering with Bleu World to clean up 547 pounds of trash is a natural extension of our mission. Every bottle we refill, every piece of trash we remove, and every conversation we spark brings us closer to a world with less plastic waste.

The Ripple Effect of Your Holiday Purchases

This collaboration demonstrates the power of community action. By choosing Plaine Products during our Holiday Sale, you played an active role in removing 547 pounds of trash from the environment. That’s more than just a number—it’s cleaner beaches, healthier marine life, and a step toward a plastic-free future.

What’s Next?

We’re excited to continue working with Bleu World and other like-minded organizations to amplify our impact. Whether it’s through supporting cleanups, advocating for sustainable practices, or encouraging refillable solutions, we’re committed to creating lasting change. Want to be part of the movement? Keep choosing Plaine Products and spreading the word about sustainable living. Together, we can make a difference—one refillable bottle and one pound of trash at a time. Thank you for helping us make this holiday season one to remember for our planet. Let’s keep the momentum going in the year ahead!

Plaine Products: Your Hair Care Solution

Plaine Products: Your Hair Care Solution

Here at Plaine Products we pride ourselves on making hair care products that work for everyone. We want our products to work for you no matter your hair thickness, porosity, texture or curl pattern. Still, each of our products have their own unique benefits. Some may work better for you than others or are better suited for different hair concerns. We’re going to get into the nitty gritty - that way you know exactly what products to add to your cart next time you shop!    Hair Loss Hair loss is typically related to external factors such as; heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, stress or as a normal part of aging. It’s important to find the source of the hair loss to be able to effectively treat it. Still, experiencing hair loss can be incredibly frustrating. You want to know that your hair care products are working for you, not against you.    If you’re currently experiencing hair loss, the first thing we recommend is our Rosemary Mint Vanilla Shampoo. Rosemary essential oil has been shown to improve both hair thickness and hair growth, and is thought to improve cellular generation.   Another great thing to try for hair growth is a scalp massage. It's a wonderful way to stimulate the scalp, increase blood-flow and encourage hair growth. Our Beauty Oil is a great product to facilitate this. Using a small dad, rub the product in the palms of your hands to spread evenly. Using the pads of your fingers, gently massage your scalp for 5 minutes, once a week to stimulate growth.   Texturize  We created the first ever sustainable Sea Salt Spray for this very reason! It’s designed to mimic the texture and volume the salty ocean water gives your hair, creating that signature tousled, beachy effect. It adds texture without making hair look greasy or weighing it down. It does this by absorbing excess oil, which means using it too often can dry hair out. To prevent dryness, you want to ensure you’re using a moisturizing conditioner. We talk more about some great ways to moisturize your hair with our products in the “Dry Ends” section, next.    Our Sea Salt Spray is best used on damp hair. Spritz throughout and then use your hands to scrunch your hair. Then allow it to air-dry or use a diffuser to speed up the drying process while maintaining beachy waves. You can also touch it up with a curling iron if you want more defined waves.    Dry Ends Speaking of moisturizing conditioners, our Deep Conditioner is great if your hair tends to be on the drier side. It’s thicker and more nourishing than our regular conditioner, making it the perfect pairing for dry hair. It can also be used as an all-over hair mask for an extra dose of hydration, which is a must in the dry winter months! It’s also great if you have oily roots but dry ends. Applying our deep conditioner to your ends will keep them moisturized without weighing down your roots and causing more oil buildup.   Our Beauty Oil is great to add extra hydration and lock in moisture at the ends of your hair. It contains a blend of premium oils including Jojoba, Evening Primrose, Flax Seed, Rosehip and Hemp, all of which are packed full of antioxidants and deeply moisturizing. You can use it when your hair is wet, applying a small amount to your ends before air drying or using heat.    Dandruff Similar to hair loss, there are typically external factors that cause dandruff. While we don’t have any medicated shampoos that are made specifically for dandruff, we do typically recommend our Rosemary Mint Vanilla Shampoo. Rosemary essential oil helps reduce scalp inflammation and irritation, which can reduce dandruff. Mint essential oil also has a cooling effect that can soothe a dry, itchy scalp.    Another great option is our Citrus Lavender Shampoo. Lavender essential oil also helps reduce scalp inflammation and is also antimicrobial. It helps prevent bacteria from growing which in turn helps prevent itchy scalp and dandruff.    If using either of these alone aren’t enough for you, we’ve had customers find great success in rotating this shampoo with their medicated ones. That way you can manage your dandruff and still cut back on waste!    Frizzy We know how annoying frizz and static can be, so we’ve developed a lot of products to help combat that. The first is several products in our cherry almond line, namely our Shampoo and Deep Conditioner. They contain sweet almond oil, which is especially nourishing and helps to combat frizz. It also promotes shine and can help prevent hair breakage.    If you need something light weight for in between washes, our Hair Repair is the product for you. It’s great for locking in moisture to wet hair or adding a spritz of nourishment to dry hair if it’s feeling a little dull and lifeless. It contains our signature aloe along with several oils; shea oil, mango seed butter, argan oil and grape seed oil. All of these promote hydration, shine and vibrancy. Grape seed oil also has a smoke point of 420 degrees, meaning the hair repair can double as a heat protectant. If your hair is oil-prone, we recommend only spraying on the ends of your hair.    If you like a slicked back look or want to tame flyaways, our Styling Gel will be your best friend. It’s light weight and helps smooth frizzy hair without making it look greasy. It can also be mixed with our Beauty Oil to add a little extra shine and hydration to hair.    Oil-Prone By now, you’re probably thinking we just can’t get enough of our Rosemary Mint Vanilla Shampoo… and you’d be right! It’s our original and most popular scent for a reason. It has so many great uses. If your hair tends to be more oily, this shampoo is for you. Rosemary essential oil is clarifying and helps balance oil levels. It can help reduce oil-build up so your hair isn’t as weighed down and you can go longer in between washes.    Brassy If you have blonde, silver or grey hair you know that over-time your hair can take on unwanted yellow or brassy tones, making it look dull and lifeless. The purple pigment in our Purple Shampoo helps to counteract these unwanted tones, leaving your hair looking cooler, brighter and more vibrant. To use, apply evenly to wet hair, working from roots to ends to ensure full coverage. Allow it to sit on your hair for 1-15 minutes, depending on the brightness you want to achieve. If left on too long it could give your hair a slight purple tint so be cautious and start slow. Once time is up, rinse shampoo out thoroughly and follow up with a hydrating conditioner, like our Deep Conditioner.    If you have dry, damaged, or overly porous hair you’ll want to monitor the color correction because it will be extra sensitive to the effects of purple shampoo. We suggest starting with a strand test to see how your hair reacts to the pigment.    Volumize  If you want to add volume to your hair or enhance your curls, you’re going to want our Styling Gel in your hair care arsenal. It’s light weight and multi-purpose, blending the shine and hold of a gel with the softness and manageability of a defining cream. Traditional hair gels can contain alcohols that damage hair, leading to a dry hair and scalp. This can lead to irritation, greasiness and product buildup over time. Our product doesn’t contain any of these damaging alcohols but instead contains our signature aloe vera which will nourish your hair as you use it.    Important tip! To get the most out of our styling gel, you want to emulsify it by rubbing your palms together before applying to your hair. Apply it from roots to ends, focusing on roots. Then blow-dry with a round brush, making sure to over-direct the brush at the roots to create maximum lift and volume.    Sensitive Scalp (no fragrance) If you have scalp conditions such as psoriasis, eczema or seborrheic dermatitis, fragrance can irritate the skin further and cause flare-ups. This can lead to redness, itching, flaking and inflammation. Whether you have a sensitive scalp or simply prefer to skip the fragrance, our Unscented Shampoo and Conditioner are perfect for you. They're hydrating yet gentle on the scalp, helping to calm any irritation.    They are also truly fragrance-free. In the personal care industry, the term "unscented" typically means companies can add additional chemicals to mask the smell. The term "fragrance-free" means truly free of fragrance, no added chemicals. Unfortunately we didn't know that difference when we launched our unscented line years ago. We can assure you our unscented line is truly fragrance-free though, no added chemicals!

Refill, Reuse, Revolutionize: The Clean Future of Personal Care

Listen to the podcast                         Watch on youtube.  Refill, Reuse, Revolutionize: The Birth of Plaine Products Founded in 2017, Plaine Products started with a simple but revolutionary idea: What if packaging could be reused, not discarded? This concept led to their unique refillable system, designed to reduce waste and promote a circular economy. The company’s first offerings—a shampoo, conditioner, and body wash—were a test of this model. “We thought, why can’t packaging be like Netflix DVDs back in the day? You use it, send it back, and it’s reused,” Lindsey explains. Despite the steep learning curve and challenges, including sourcing the right ingredients and sustainable packaging, the sisters persevered. The Power of Aluminum and Plant-Based Ingredients Plaine Products made a conscious choice to use aluminum bottles. Unlike plastic, aluminum is lightweight, recyclable, and durable. "Plastic is a great material but not for single-use items," Lindsey notes. Aluminum bottles can be reused multiple times, reducing the energy and resources needed to create new containers and is the basis for the Refill, Reuse, Revolutionize model Plaine uses. Equally important are the products themselves. Made with vegan, cruelty-free, and non-toxic ingredients, the formulas are as kind to the planet as they are to users. “Why work hard to keep plastic out of the environment but dump harmful chemicals down the drain?” Lindsey asks. This ethos extends to every aspect of their operations, from sourcing ingredients to working with manufacturers who share their values. Building a Community Around Refill, Reuse, Revolutionize Plaine Products owes much of its success to a strong sense of community. Early on, Lindsey reached out to influencers and like-minded individuals to spread the word. This grassroots approach, coupled with a commitment to customer education, has helped the brand thrive. “We listen to customer feedback,” she shares. “They’ve guided everything from new products to adjustments in our packaging. It’s a partnership.” The subscription model has also been a game-changer, providing stability while encouraging long-term relationships with customers. Lessons Learned and Looking Ahead Like any entrepreneurial journey, Plaine Products’ path has been filled with challenges. From rusting prototypes to refining their messaging, Lindsey emphasizes the importance of adaptability and learning from mistakes. “You don’t start at perfection,” she says. “You grow, adjust, and keep moving forward.” The company recently hit a major milestone: 700,000 bottles sold, each representing one less plastic bottle in a landfill or the ocean. Looking ahead, Lindsey and Alison aim to expand their product line while staying true to their mission of sustainability and ethical practices. Closing Thoughts Lindsey McCoy’s story is a testament to the power of purpose-driven entrepreneurship. By addressing a pressing environmental issue with innovation and heart, Plaine Products is not only making a difference but also inspiring others to do the same. So, why not make your personal care routine a little kinder to the planet? Together, we can create a world where sustainability is the norm, not the exception. The Wild Party Podcast celebrates the movers and shakers of the ethical and sustainable business world! Each episode, we throw open the virtual doors to inspiring entrepreneurs in the vegan, clean tech, and eco-friendly spaces. We'll dive deep into their journeys, uncovering the "why" behind their mission-driven businesses.Tune in for passionate discussions about overcoming challenges, innovative marketing strategies, and of course, the power of using business as a force for good.
