    Beyond the bottle

    Your footprint.

    A greener tomorrow starts with less waste today.

    3 million

    tonnes of plastic thrown away in Canada in one year.

    9%

    of it recycled. The rest is buried, burned or lost to land and water.

    450 years

    for a plastic bottle to break down in the ocean, into microplastics.

    Less waste starts with what's in your shower.

    Your impact

    What one bottle changes.

    The technology to clean up exists. What moves it forward is more of us choosing less waste, starting with what's in your shower.

    Compared with buying a face wash and a body wash in plastic pump bottles.

    44plastic bottles and pumps you won't throw out

    1.3 kg

    less plastic, and less that can break down into microplastics

    2.1 kg

    of CO₂e saved

    About the same CO₂ as driving 9 km or charging a phone 173 times.

    How we calculate this

    Plastic pump bottles: 250 mL on average, 22 g of plastic plus a 13 g pump with a metal spring, bought as often as you'd use 550 mL. Propre: one 60 g aluminium bottle and 15 g pump, then a 12 g pouch per refill.

    Emission factors: aluminium 7.8 kg CO₂e/kg (half primary at 15.1, half recycled at 0.52; International Aluminium Institute, 2022); plastic 2.0 kg CO₂e/kg. Equivalents from the US EPA: 0.393 kg CO₂e per mile driven, 0.0124 kg per phone charge. An estimate for comparison, not a full lifecycle assessment.

    My vision is a simple one: a tomorrow where kids can play outside and waves roll onto clean beaches.

    It’s not about changing the world with one big fix. It’s about changing ourselves, one step at a time.

    Together, I know we can do it.

    I started Propre to make skin care you can actually understand: 21 well-studied ingredients, all listed and explained, in a bottle you keep for good. Questions before you order? Write to me. I answer every one.

    Do the math

    What you'll save.

    Keep the bottle, refill it from a pouch, and the savings add up every time.

    propre · French for clean, and one's own · Our story

    Before you order

    Still wondering?

    01I've never heard of Propre. Why should I trust it?

    Check for yourself.

    Every one of the 21 ingredients is listed, with how much of each group is in the bottle and where to look it up. Five stars from every customer review. And the founder answers your messages himself.

    See all 21 ingredients →
    02Can one wash really replace my face wash?

    That's the point.

    It's sulfate-free and built on gentle coconut-derived cleansers, made for face and body. Same pump at the sink in the morning and in the shower at night.

    03Gentle enough for my face, but strong enough after the gym?

    Both.

    Gentle doesn't mean weak. The cleansers lift dirt, oil and sweat in a dense, creamy lather; half our reviewers bring up the lather on their own.

    04Will it suit my skin?

    Made for most skin types.

    Including sensitive skin: no sulfates, no synthetic fragrance, plenty of plant oils. One review is even titled “Sensitive skin approved.” If your skin reacts easily, patch test first.

    05With all those oils, won't it feel greasy?

    It rinses clean.

    The oils leave skin soft, not slick. 75% of reviews mention soft or hydrated skin, and one customer says he no longer needs body lotion after his shower.

    06I can't smell it before I buy. What's it like?

    Fresh, not perfumey.

    Sweet orange up front, then green rosemary. Essential oils only. 63% of reviewers mention the scent without being asked.

    07Is the packaging really better, or just marketing?

    See the numbers.

    An aluminium bottle you keep, a pump with no metal spring so it can be recycled, and a light pouch for every refill. We show the method behind every figure.

    Your footprint, in numbers →
    08Is refilling a hassle?

    Lift. Pour. Done.

    Unscrew the pump, pour in one pouch, put the pump back. Order refills when you need them; the Refill Club is optional and you can cancel any time.

    Something else? Vincent is here to answer your questions.

    Sensitive or allergic?

    Good to know first.

    Coconut

    Two of the cleansers and the light oil are coconut-derived. Search “coconut” above to see which.

    Avocado

    Avocado oil is one of the three plant oils.

    Citrus and rosemary

    The scent comes only from essential oils. Like all citrus oils, orange naturally contains limonene, which some people react to.

    Patch test

    If your skin reacts easily, try a small area first. Stop using it if irritation occurs.

    Our story

    What's actually in this?

    That's the question Propre started with. Skin care is full of bold claims and names nobody explains. So every ingredient in The Wash has a reason, and you can look each one up yourself.

    The decisions behind the wash

    • Why one wash?

      Because most people don't need a shelf of products. One good formula for face and body is simpler, and holds more than the two bottles it replaces.

    • Why these ingredients?

      21 ingredients with a long track record in independent research, chosen for how gently they clean, explained in plain words.

    • Why aluminium?

      It can be recycled again and again without losing quality, so the bottle is made to stay with you.

    • Why a spring-free pump?

      Most pumps hide a metal spring that makes them hard to recycle. Ours doesn't have one.

    • Why refills?

      A pouch uses far less material than a new bottle, and saves you 30% every time.

    The person behind the bottle

    Hi, I'm Vincent.

    I started Propre, and when you write to us, you're writing to me.

    Propre started with a question I think a lot of us have asked: what's actually in this? Skin care is full of big promises on the front and long names on the back that nobody explains.

    So I went looking. I chose ingredients that have been studied again and again by independent researchers, not just by the companies selling them. Then I listed every one and explained it in plain words, so you never have to take my word for it.

    Propre is small. It's made in Canada in small batches, and every order matters to me.

    My vision is a simple one: a tomorrow where kids can play outside and waves roll onto clean beaches.

    It’s not about changing the world with one big fix. It’s about changing ourselves, one step at a time.

    Together, I know we can do it.

    The vision behind Propre

    What you can count on from me

    • Plain wordsEvery ingredient explained, with where to check it yourself.
    • No big claimsI'd rather tell you less and let your skin decide.
    • A bottle you keepRefill it instead of replacing it.
    • A real replyWrite to me and I'll answer, usually within one business day.

    Questions? Ask me directly.

    Your skin, an ingredient, an order, or just to say hi. I read every message.
