FORGO BODY

To forgo means “to do without”—a fitting name for a hand wash brand that believes “everything can be made better with less.” FORGO is headed by Allon Libermann and Samuel Chevalier, whose Scandinavian roots inform the self-care brand’s minimalist-luxury approach. By encouraging customers to forgo the extraneous, that is, to use products made only of essential ingredients, FORGO introduces effective solutions to combat unnecessary waste. Powder-to-liquid hand washes designed to hydrate and cleanse come in fresh citrus and warm wood aromas. The plant-based powdered formulas—packaged in thin, compostable paper sachets— turn into liquid when hot water is added. Each kit includes a reusable frosted glass bottle that can be refilled once the hand wash runs out. By tackling wastefulness and considering the environment with innovative products, FORGO proves that simple living can be well designed.
