Ethical Practices
MV Skintherapy crafts all products in-house on Sydney’s Northern Beaches in small micro-batches, allowing complete control over formulation and preventing overproduction. The founder personally sources raw ingredients, prioritising purity, sustainability and ethical supply, including direct relationships with growers in Australia and France. All products achieve EU compliance, requiring rigorous third-party safety testing and strict documentation. The brand is certified cruelty-free, with no animal testing at any stage of development or production.
Sustainable Practices
MV Skintherapy uses infinitely recyclable aluminium tins as primary packaging, selected for durability and environmental responsibility. The brand produces concentrated formulations to reduce product consumption and environmental impact. Products are made in micro-batches to minimise waste and ensure freshness. Multi-purpose formulations are designed to reduce the need for multiple products and customers are encouraged to purchase only what they need, including during sales periods, to support responsible consumption.
Social Impact
MV Skintherapy donates an average of 10% of profits annually to various charities and in the previous year, contributed 190% of net profit. During Black Friday, $5 from every purchase is donated to charity instead of offering traditional sales. The brand supports Indigenous communities by sourcing native ingredients from suppliers working with First Nations growers and donating $4 from each Native Power Serum sale to Indigenous organisations. Free educational resources, including eBooks and guided meditations, are provided to promote self-care and wellbeing.
Product Reviews by Experts
I love that this moisturiser has a rich texture where you can instantly feel it soothe and calm irritated, dry and sensitive skin. Although rich, it absorbs beautifully and I can use it during the day or at night. It seamlessly fits into my regime and works well with active serums as a skin-barrier support layer. I also love the light rose scent. I absolutely admire the brand’s ethical sourcing of ingredients, visiting suppliers to source the best from around the world. I love that the brand continues to make their skincare in small batches, ensuring quality is never compromised. The MV packaging being aluminium makes an excellent environmentally friendly option and I also love that the products are multi-purpose and that the Rose moisturiser can be made lighter by a spritz of MV’s rose mist mixed in. The less is more philosophy is unheard of in the beauty industry!
The packaging is beautiful and makes for such a nice experience! The formula itself is a light to medium consistency that goes a long way, which I also love! Stunning smell of Rose and Geranium that leaves a lovely, hydrated feeling on the skin throughout the day. This is what the founder wrote and it deserves its own light: We reject fear-based beauty marketing and have banned disempowering language such as ‘anti-ageing’. Our communication focuses on education, empowerment, and skin health. Even when we hold sales, we include a written caveat encouraging customers to only participate if they genuinely need the product, actively practising our ‘less is more’ philosophy even when this may reduce short-term profits.
I loved the lightness of this moisturiser and how well it applies on the skin. I was impressed by the aluminium container and how much more hygienic it is compared to a tub. I also loved reading the empowering message used to promote a healthier relationship towards beauty standards.
