Ingredients
At MO1, we are always focused on the quality and integrity of the ingredients and materials we use.
MO1 is about sustainable beauty, both for every single one of us and for the world around us, and so all our ingredients are sustainably farmed and vegan. We respect our customers, and we respect our planet.
MO1 is all about balance: balance of the skin and balance of nature. Our potent natural skincare ingredients are grown to the highest sustainable standards on a family-owned biodynamic farm in the special climate of Puglia, all nurtured with love in the heart of the sunny Mediterranean. These plants are processed on neighbouring land so there are zero kilometres travelled from farm to factory, further maintaining their freshness – as well as respecting the planet at every part of the process.
MO1 uses a traditional and ancient cold-pressed maceration production process which conserves all the purity and power of these organic actives at a B-Corp Certified plant. This process creates culinary-quality ingredients: it is organic food for your skin.
MO1 harnesses the combined power of two of nature’s most healthy and powerful resources as a core part of our skincare range. Grown on this special organic farmland, they form a key part of our products.
Our main ingredients
Olive oil
MO1 uses extracts from both olive leaves and fruit. These are harvested from ancient olive groves that have been central to Puglian life for centuries. Olive oil is a natural emollient and antioxidant and has incredible skin-conditioning and moisturising properties. It helps to nourish and maintain the skin barrier and has antimicrobial properties which can help to fight acne-causing bacteria and other skin infections. It can also help with the skin’s production of elastin and collagen and can help to boost firmness and elasticity.
