The Preservative Shift: Why We Ditched Phenoxyethanol

Mamash Standard

We use a "Gold Standard" preservation system comprised of Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, and Gluconolactone. These are food-grade, Ecocert-approved preservatives that effectively protect your product without mimicking estrogen or disrupting your endocrine system.

Industry Standard

Most brands use Phenoxyethanol. While legal, emerging research suggests it may pose risks to ovarian function and is often advised against for infant care in Europe.

The Fragrance Loophole: Zero Hidden Chemicals

Mamash Standard

We are proudly 100% Fragrance-Free. We do not mask our ingredients. What you smell is the raw purity of Shea Butter, Jojoba, and clean botanical extracts. No Phthalates. No guessing.

Industry Standard

The word "Fragrance" on a label can hide up to 3,000 unlisted chemicals, including Phthalates (plasticizers linked to reproductive issues). Even "Allergen-Free" fragrances can still contain these hormone disruptors.

Pregnancy-Safe Actives Only

Mamash Standard

We use high-performance, biologically safe alternatives like Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Panthenol (Vitamin B5), and Sodium Hyaluronate. These strengthen your skin barrier and treat pigmentation safely, with zero risk to fetal development.

Industry Standard

Many anti-aging products use Retinoids or high-dose Salicylic Acid, which are unsafe during pregnancy.
