UPCycled

considered ingredients

Over the past two years we have worked closely with our fragrance partner to look further down the supply chain for second use opportunities, resulting in our M.H Upcycled initiative.

For our newest fragrance creations in 2022 and 2023, we are extremely proud to have included the following up-cycled materials.

Hydrolat Sage

In 2023 we launched Hydra Figue, our first EDP that included Hydrolat Sage within a finished product formulation.

Hydrolat is the aromatic water by-product from the hydro-distillation process (in this case of sage leaves). The essential oil is the primary product and the hydrolat is the bi-product. We replaced the ‘virgin’ water (usually included at approx. 7% in the final product) with the Hydrolat Sage. This is small step in the right direction, and we are committed to extending this concept to our wider fragrance portfolio.

Rose & Patchouli

Extracted from the byproduct of an initial extraction of freshly harvested plants, providing a sustainable form of natural material. The process also provides a year-round commitment to the farmers who otherwise might only be supported during harvest.

Upcycled Rose & Patchouli is found in our Myrica Muse fragrance.
