GC-MS profiling of methanolic extracts from A. mexicana callus revealed the presence of various important antioxidants such as 1,3-propanediol, squalene, and vitamin E.

These bioactive compounds have therapeutic applications in treating inflammation and other ailments.

Therefore, it offers benefits such as antioxidant protection, skin conditioning, and soothing properties. But, achieving optimal effects requires careful formulation.

7 steps for a healthy skin

The M-Beauty skincare routine

01

Cleanse

Cleanse

Daily

01

Cleansing removes sweat, oil, pollution and makeup so they don’t sit on your skin or clog your pores. With a clean surface, everything you apply afterwards can absorb properly and work as intended.
02

Exfoliate

Exfoliate

Weekly

02

Exfoliation lifts away dead skin cells that naturally build up. This helps keep pores clear, smooths rough texture and lets fresh, healthy skin come to the surface.
03

Mask

Weekly

Masks deliver a concentrated treatment that your daily routine can’t always give. Whether you need hydration, balance or clarity, a mask provides an intentional boost.
04

Tone

Toners rebalance the skin after cleansing, add a first layer of hydration and catch any residue left behind. This prepares the skin so serums and moisturisers can penetrate more effectively.
05

Treat

Serums focus on specific concerns, like dullness, breakouts or fine lines. They contain high levels of active ingredients that target what your skin needs most.

Moisturisers keep water in the skin and strengthen its protective barrier. This prevents dryness, sensitivity and helps maintain a balanced, healthy complexion.

Sun protection is the final and most essential step. UV rays cause most signs of premature ageing and pigmentation, even on cloudy days, so daily SPF keeps your skin healthy long-term.

Our packaging and packaging

Every gram counts:

Our containers are made of glass or aluminium, materials that are widely recycled, and we use plastic only where it is needed, such as for caps and droppers. Through our partnership with rePurpose Global, we fund the recovery of more than five times as much plastic waste as we place on the market.
Our boxes, inserts and shipping boxes are made of kraft paper and printed in a single colour.
Most of our products are made in Mexico, in a plant that generates more solar electricity than it uses.

FAQ

Find out more about our Cleansing Duo

What is the Cleansing Duo designed to do?

The Cleansing Duo is a targeted two-step cleansing system tailored to your skin type. It combines a daily cleansing bar with a more focused bar to help refine texture, support balance and enhance overall skin clarity.

How often should I use the two bars?

The daily bar can be used morning and evening.
The second bar replaces your daily bar two to three times per week, depending on your skin’s needs and sensitivity.

How is the Cleansing Duo different from the Essential or Renewal Routine?

The Cleansing Duo focuses purely on cleansing. It does not include toner or serum. It is ideal if you want to optimise your cleansing step without expanding your routine.

Are your products dermatologically tested?

They are formulated to be well tolerated by all skin types, including sensitive skin, when used as intended. If your skin is extremely reactive, we recommend introducing new skincare gradually and adjusting frequency according to your skin’s tolerance.

Is it scientifically validated?

Yes. The ingredients in our Cleansing Duo are supported by scientific research conducted in Mexico and Germany.
