No More Rolling Bottles: ADA Cosmetics Launches SHAPE – The First Refillable Dispenser for Leisure Vehicles

Anyone who’s ever taken a caravan, motorhome, or campervan on the road knows the frustration: bottles of shampoo, shower gel, or soap sliding across counters, tumbling in the shower, or leaking into cupboards after a day’s drive. It’s messy, wasteful, and turns a small part of the travel experience into an ever-present annoyance.

Now, ADA Cosmetics provides an all-in-one solution, with the launch of the world’s first refillable SHAPE dispensers created specifically for leisure vehicles. Bringing five-star hygiene, sustainability, and modern design to the road, the advanced SHAPE and SHAPE MINI dispensers will debut in a world premiere at Caravan Salon Düsseldorf on August 29th, 2025, and be showcased at the Salon VDL in Paris–Le Bourget the following month.

Smart, Sustainable, and Built for the Road

Designed and manufactured in Europe, the ultra-lightweight SHAPE dispenser is available in two sizes and can be installed in just one minute — no tools required.

Perfect for the shower, the original SHAPE holds a 300ml cartridge that delivers up to one month of autonomy for two travelers. The cartridge reduces plastic waste by up to 85% compared to small portions and, thanks to economical one-liter refills, helps cut consumable costs by up to 40% per year.

For compact spaces like wash basins or galley kitchens, SHAPE MINI offers the same convenience in a 200ml format. Both attach with a high-bond, automotive-grade 3M™ adhesive pad, tested to withstand road vibrations and heat of up to 60°C — and can be removed without leaving residue.

“SHAPE finally ends the era of rolling, leaking bottles in motorhomes and campervans,” says Gerd von Podewils, CMO at ADA Cosmetics. “Travelers of all ages — from van-life newcomers to seasoned caravan owners — can now benefit from hotel-level comfort, keep their space tidy, and protect the planet while on the road.”

Travel Clean with a World-Class System

At the heart of SHAPE is ADA Cosmetics’ patented mono-material hygiene pump with an integrated drainage system. It delivers a precise, clean dose every time — with no contamination or dripping — for peace of mind throughout every trip.

Independent testing by the Rhein Waal Institute in Germany has proven the pump’s hygiene performance, ensuring travelers can enjoy the same trusted standards found in the world’s best hotels.

Even when fully filled, SHAPE and SHAPE MINI weigh only 357g and 255g respectively, making a negligible impact on vehicle payload.

Minimalist Design, Eco-Friendly Formulas

SHAPE’s complements any vehicle interior. The European-made system, featuring vegan-certified formulas, ensures the highest quality and complete traceability.

As part of its Cradle to Cradle Certified^® Silver core portfolio, ADA Cosmetics offers an extensive choice of world-class brands — so that every traveler, whether digital nomad or retiree, can enjoy products that are as sustainable as they are indulgent.
