Mission Statement
Shakespeare once asked, “what’s in a name?”. At BIBO, it’s all in the name.
BIBO (pronounced BE-BO) stands for bars in, bottles out. This not only defines how we produce and package our products, but underpins our 100% sustainable approach to hair and body care.
We’re saying no to excess packaging, plastic bottles, cardboard boxes, and saying yes to something else: bars.
We’re on a mission to create shampoo bars, conditioner bars, lotion and soap bars that aren’t made at the expense of the planet. While we look to the past for our inspiration with our plant-derived active ingredients, we also look to the future in our forward-thinking, eco-conscious approach to cosmetic innovation.
It’s time to rethink how you care for your skin and your hair, as well as how you care for the planet.
The best part? We’re inviting you to join us.
Our Philosophy
We’re committed to making you look and feel your best.
At BIBO, we believe that nature is the best-kept beauty secret. As a result, we have carefully sourced ancient, nutrient-rich elements from around the globe to bring together a revolutionary blend of ingredients for the ultimate hair and skin care experience.
Our shampoos, conditioners, lotions and soap bars are packed with incredibly nutrient-rich, 100% natural and sustainable plant-derived botanicals that work to restore your hair and skin. As a result, each of our products has been expertly curated with a specific combination of active ingredients, depending on the problem to be solved. No two products are the same, just like no two people are the same. All of our ingredients are unique and play a special role in your hair or on your skin.
Social Responsibility with KeepEt
With our shampoos, conditioners, lotions and silk cream bars, you have the option to order a reusable container to store your products in. These containers are made by All Women Recycling , an NGO based in South Africa. The containers are reusable, meaning you can use them for your next BIBO product or as a useful pouch in your handbag.
These containers have water-resistant zippers that won’t rust, which makes them the ideal storage space for your BIBO products. The small, convenient shape makes it a perfect traveling partner, meaning you can take your BIBO products anywhere.
We produce tonnes of plastic waste each year, with 91% of all plastic produced not being recycled. All Women Recycling equips unemployed women with the skills to create beautiful products out of plastic bottles that would otherwise have ended up in a landfill. All Women Recycling has a goal to “keep our environment clean one bottle at a time” and this is a goal that they are certainly meeting. In 2016 alone they upcycled over half a million plastic bottles, which otherwise would have gone to landfill sites.
Our Ethos
Our ethos is simple. Do good! In return you will feel good, and look your best.
We believe in products that are clean, simple, good for you and good for our planet.
Our entire process is built on the concept of sustainability, both for us and the planet.
