Think about your skincare routine for a second. How much of it is actually water? If you’re using liquid cleansers, serums, or lotions, the answer might surprise you: up to 90%! But what if your products were more potent, longer-lasting, and better for the planet—all without the unnecessary water?
Waterless Skincare: Why It’s Better for Your Skin and the Planet
Ever feel like the beauty industry makes sustainability... complicated?
We did too. That’s why we created The Fernie Girl—to make plastic-free, waterless skincare simple, effective, and genuinely good for you and the planet. But this brand isn’t just about products. It’s about a movement. A shift toward less waste, better ingredients, and conscious choices—without the overwhelm.
Why We Created The Fernie Girl: A Journey to Plastic-Free Skincare
Ever struggled to keep your skincare routine intact while traveling? Between TSA liquid restrictions, bulky bottles, and the fear of spills in your suitcase, packing skincare can feel like a hassle. But what if your face wash could be compact, mess-free, and actually good for your skin and the planet?
The Ultimate Travel-Friendly Skincare Hack: Solid Face Wash Tablets
Switching up your skincare routine might seem overwhelming, but when it comes to sustainability and skin health, face wash tablets are changing the game. If you’ve been relying on liquid cleansers, it’s time to rethink what’s actually better—for both your skin and the planet.
Face Wash Tablets vs. Traditional Cleansers: What’s Better?
Every morning, we reach for cleansers, serums, and moisturizers—without considering the environmental and health impact of their packaging. The beauty industry produces over 120 billion plastic packaging units annually, most of which end up in landfills, oceans, or incinerators (source). But plastic-free skincare isn’t just about sustainability; it’s about reducing exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, improving ingredient purity, and making choices that are better for both our skin and holistic health.

Simple skincare, reimagined. The Fernie Girl offers plant-powered, waterless face wash tablets in reusable packaging.
Made to travel light, live sustainably, and keep your skin clean without compromise.
Great experience. I loved how clean and soft the tablets made my face feel. I loved the sustainability functionality of it and getting multiple uses out of the tablets. I would highly recommend.
The tablet lathers up really well (which I love), and my skin felt very clean after using it. I also like that my skin didn’t feel dry afterwards. Without makeup, I found I could just use half of a tablet to wash my face, but with makeup, the whole tablet was enough to remove everything!
I have been using the face wash tablets for a few weeks now and love the results. I love that they are made from safe, chemical free ingredients and love that they are also pregnancy safe! Highly recommend!

I was hesitant to try a new face wash because I have acne prone skin. The first time I used this, it took off all my makeup easily & left my face feeling so refreshed & smooth. It has actually cleared my skin. I love the convenient of the tablets as well as they are easy to travel with!

It is very hard for me to find skincare products that do not irritate my sensitive skin. I’m so excited that I have finally found one that my skin loves! It is so gentle and smooth on my skin. I was able to get 2 to 3 uses out of each tablet and leave it on a soap dish until the next time I was ready to use it! 10/10 recommend!

I loved them! Incredibly convenient for travel or if you’re staying somewhere for a few nights and don’t want to park/carry a large bottle of face wash around. My face felt so smooth and clean afterwards! I Would definitely recommend anyone to give this product a try.

I’ve worked at Sephora for almost 8 years and have never seen a product like this sold there. I’ve used the face wash tablets as both a second cleanse and a first cleanse. As a second cleanse, it leaves my face feeling so clean but it doesn’t give me that stripped feeling which dries out my skin...

I never buy face wash because my skin gets irritated by everything, but wow, I am sold! These wash tablets were not only packaged in an adorable, travel proof container… they cleaned my face and left it moisturized and fresh.
For someone who has severe eye lid dermatitis and facial eczema, this wash is a game changer.

As a first cleanse, it gets even the most stubborn of makeup off. I also feel like I have sensitive skin and my skin has been looking so clear. I can use half the tablet for my whole face & feel this works well for travel. I loved this product! And how sustainable it is!

First off I love the ease of use. Really just so easy to have the perfect amount of wash for your face. I have dry skin and so it was a perfect balance of getting a good and thorough clean without drying out my face.
