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, unhygienic, 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 Suited for the Road
Designed 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 is refillable, helping to 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 dispensers 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.
Even when fully filled, SHAPE and SHAPE MINI weigh only 357g and 255g respectively, making a negligible impact on vehicle payload.
“SHAPE finally ends the era of rolling, leaking bottles in motorhomes and campervans,” says Gerd von Podewils, CMO at ADA Cosmetics. “This planet-friendly system saves space and resources, while offering hotel-level comfort and hygiene to leisure vehicle travelers.”
World-Class Hygiene on the Move
At the heart of SHAPE is ADA Cosmetics’ mono-material hygiene pump with an integrated patented drainage system. It delivers a precise, clean dose every time — with no contamination or dripping — for peace of mind throughout every trip.
Setting a new benchmark in exceptional hygiene, the innovative system ensures the utmost safety and cleanliness in every setting, ensuring travelers can enjoy the same trusted standards found in the world’s best hotels.
Independent testing by the renowned Rhein Waal Institute in Germany has proven the pump’s hygiene performance, with zero contamination of the dispenser contents thanks to separation of air and liquid flow when the pump head is activated.

Minimalist Design, Eco-Friendly Formulas
SHAPE’s sleek design with invisible brackets in a choice of colors complements any vehicle interior. The dispensers, featuring vegan-certified and dermatologically tested formulas, ensure the highest product quality and complete traceability.
The 300ml SHAPE dispensers are compatible with a wide range of ADA Cosmetics’ collections, including renowned brands such as Yon-Ka and The White Company. SHAPE MINI is offered with a selection of the company’s popular own brands, including Hydro Touch and Eco Boutique.
Every product is part of ADA Cosmetics’ Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver core portfolio, and expertly formulated according to more than 45 years of skincare expertise in the hotel cosmetics industry.
