Marmelo - Portuguese word for the ancient "Quince Fruit," -melo meaning "Apple Tree," and mar- "Ocean."
Marmelo is inspired by the inherent beauty of where land and sea meet, and the natural landscapes that surround us.
Marmelo was born out of a passion blending eco-minimalism with time-honored beauty rituals. We modernize traditional self-care by simplifying your routine, making products easier to use, and increasing product effectiveness through the use of highly active nutrient rich ingredients. We are committed to our green practices by making conscious choices that benefit both the user and the environment.
We want you feeling nurtured, WELCOME.
Our Ethos
We believe antioxidants are the cornerstone for promoting vibrantly healthy skin. We create colourful formulas that are beautiful and purposeful. By avoiding synthetic dyes and choosing to harness the colours (antioxidants) naturally present in non-toxic plants and earth elements, we beautify our products naturally.
We value synergy, bio-compatibility, and microbiome friendliness. Our products are gentle yet effective, formulated with skin loving ingredients that retain skins natural oils.
Being openly transparent is important to us. Our journal holds information about our business practices and packaging. Please reach out with any questions you may have.
Eco Beauty
Marmelo recognizes the ecological impact of the beauty industry.
Every purchase donates a portion of sales to companies that remove atmospheric carbon and every order is shipped carbon neutral.
We aim to minimize plastic and endocrine disrupting pollution in the ocean and in your cosmetics. Our products are currently 100% compostable including the packaging, which is made from post-consumer recycled plant material. We use wildflower seed paper feeding the earth after planting and disposal. Protecting native pollinators is critical for securing future food sources and we want to give back to our community with the gift of seeds.
We’d love to see you reuse our compostable packaging. You can use our organic bags to hold and hug your bars or wash and let air dry - kids snacks, jewelry, or travel bags anyone?
Plant our seed bands or just toss them in your compost bin and move on with your day!
