"Organic" refers to food or other products derived from farming methods that avoid synthetic inputs such as pesticides and chemical fertilizers, do not use genetically modified organisms, and prioritize environmental sustainability. "Vegan" denotes a lifestyle or diet that avoids all animal products and by-products, from food (like meat and dairy) to clothing materials (like leather). "Natural" is a less-regulated term often implying a product is minimally processed and free from artificial ingredients or additives; however, its meaning can vary widely due to lack of official definition.

Animal testing is strictly prohibited at our company, and we adhere to all European Cosmetics Regulations. We collaborate with suppliers who use the most cutting-edge alternatives in their supply chain to guarantee the safety of their raw materials without the need for animal testing.

MSP opposes animal testing and does not carry out, commission, or finance any product-related animal testing. We strictly abide by a no-animal testing policy and demand the same of all of our suppliers.

MSP is aware that our influence continues even after our products are manufactured. It also matters how we ship and package them.We strive to use environmentally friendly packaging in order to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Our packaging is safe for people and the environment and is easily recyclable.

Your skin barrier is made up of lipids, protective substances, and your microbiome. The microbiome is the balance of microorganisms that live on our skin (and in our bodies), and it needs an acidic environment to survive. Anything below 7.0 is acidic; anything above 8.0 is alkaline.

Skin is naturally acidic, with a pH of around 5.5, which is critical to maintaining the health and stability of the skin barrier.

MSP products have pH levels between 5.5 and 7.

Fragrances and dyes are used to make products look or smell good, but they can also irritate the skin, promote skin inflammation, and exacerbate unwanted skin behavior (dryness, excess oil, breakouts). Plus, let's be honest: who really wants to smell their face?

Proper storage and maintenance are key to preserving the quality and effectiveness of your skincare products. Here are some general recommendations for storing your MSP products:

Keep in a Cool, Dry Place: The ingredients in our products can degrade and become less effective when exposed to heat and humidity. Therefore, it's best to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The bathroom, despite being a common place for storing skincare products, can actually be one of the worst places due to the fluctuating heat and humidity levels. A bedroom vanity or a medicine cabinet away from the shower can be more suitable.

Tightly Seal Products: Make sure to always tightly close or seal your MSP products after use. This prevents the product from being exposed to air, which can lead to oxidation and make the product less effective over time. It can also prevent the growth of bacteria in your products.

Avoid Contamination: Try to use spatulas or the tips of clean fingers to dispense your skincare products, especially if they come in jars. This can help to prevent bacterial contamination from your hands. If the product comes with a pump or dropper, make sure to avoid touching the dispensing mechanism to keep it clean.

Refrigeration: While not necessary for all skincare products, keeping products like eye creams or serums in the refrigerator can help to prolong their shelf life and can provide additional soothing benefits. If you choose to do so, ensure that they are sealed and stored in a separate area away from food to prevent contamination.
