WHY M•Y•O
Our Impact
At M·Y·O, our company’s foundation is built on conducting our operations in an environmentally, ethically and socially responsible manner. These values guide all of our business decisions, from the sustainable materials we use to the organizations we work with.
The Beauty of Giving Back
M·Y·O Cosmetic Cases Inc. supports SheEO as an Activator. SheEO is a radically redesigned ecosystem that supports, finances, and celebrates female innovators. SheEO focuses on bringing out the best of women by being radically generous to one another.
Each years cohort has 500 Activators contributing $1100 as an Act of Radical Generosity. The money is pooled together and loaned out at zero percent interest to five women-led Ventures selected by the Activators. The loans are paid back over five years and then loaned out again, creating a perpetual fund which we will pass on to our daughters, nieces and granddaughters All Ventures are revenue generating with export potential and are creating a better world through their business model or their product and service.
Reducing Our Footprint
As a partner of The World Tree Carbon Offset Program, M·Y·O is committed to planting a minimum of one acre of trees every year. The World Tree Program plants and grows Empress Splendor trees — which absorb 11 times more carbon than any other tree — through a network of experienced farmers, generating income for them and offsetting millions of tons of carbon in the process. Each M·Y·O Cosmetic Case sale contributes towards purchasing these amazing trees, and we also reinvest a portion of our profits in this program annually. If you would like to purchase an acre of Empress Splendor trees, mention you were referred by M·Y·O and the referral fee of $100 will be put towards purchasing additional trees.
Sustainable Materials
Our products are designed to stand the test of time — to be used, reused and eventually recycled. A great deal of thought went into designing our M·Y·O Cosmetic Case to ensure it can seamlessly be used with refillable makeup products that fit right into it. To complement this, we created M·Y·O Beauty Pods, which are refillable containers for creams, lotions and powders. By purchasing our products, you’re making an eco-conscious lifestyle choice. The durability of our cases offer you longevity, and our beauty pods enable you to purchase single refill makeup products that cut out needless packaging and waste.
