Great question! We aim to offer concentrated alternatives for many of our products to avoid the unnecessary transportation of water. In other parts of the world where clean water is not always a given, we are fortunate enough to have clean water that simply flows from the tap. By transporting less water weight, we reduce our CO2 emissions, decrease our environmental impact and use water sustainably. You can easily mix the concentrated formula with the water from your shower and create a lovely foam.

If your hair tends to be dry easily and you want to hydrate it more, I recommend our Hydrate line. In case your hair is prone to breakage or has been coloured, the Strengthening line would be more suitable. Our regular shampoo is a very fine shampoo that is perfect if you don't have specific hair needs, but still looking for proper care and softening. If you would like to know please feel free to contact us at customerservice@marie-stella-maris.com.We would be happy to help you.

Our shampoos have been tested on all hair types and are certainly suitable for them! Depending on your hair's needs you can choose from our Hydrate or Strengthening line. If you would like to know more about the specific ingredients, please feel free to contact us at customerservice@marie-stella-maris.com. We would be happy to help you.

We understand that you want to enjoy this product for as long as possible. With regular use, it typically lasts for about 60 to 75 showers. However, if you use a lot of foam, it may not last as long.

First, unscrew the pump from the bottle and fill the bottle with 1 cm of tap water. Then, carefully open the concentrate. Use a coaster to prevent leaks. Pour the concentrate completely into the bottle. Once done, add tap water to within 1 cm of the rim. Screw the pump back onto the bottle and pump a few times to enjoy a rich, nourishing foam.

The Foaming Body Wash can only be used in combination with the concentrate. The concentrate cannot be used in other bottles.

If you have any trouble, please feel free to email us at customerservice@marie-stella-maris.com. We're happy to assist you.

First and foremost, we chose a mineral filter because we strive to utilize natural ingredients as much as possible. Our filter is made of zinc, which is naturally present on Earth. Additionally, our filter has a natural coating, namely castor oil, and is a natural wax.

Another important reason we chose for a mineral filter is because they are gentler on the skin. Chemical filters are often associated with skin irritation. We aim to leave your skin as cared for as possible. In addition, we absolutely did not want to use filters that have been proven to harm the environment, such as the chemical filters Oxybenzone, Octocrylene, and Homosalate. Our non-nano Zinc Oxide filter has soothing properties and softens the skin instead of irritating it. Just what you want on your sun vacation!

The difference between these two products lies in the percentage of perfume used. Our face cream contains 0.1% perfume, while our body cream contains 1%. Our perfume has been extensively tested, causes few allergies, and is therefore safe to use in the sun. This way, you can go into the sun smelling great and protected.

Our sunscreen features a mineral filter, making it gentler on the skin compared to chemical alternatives. Within mineral filters, we chose the non-nano Zinc Oxide filter because it's the only filter that provides protection against the broad spectrum of UVA1, UVA2, and UVB rays. Additionally, zinc is naturally soothing and promotes skin healing. Our gentle and fully protective sunscreen is therefore highly suitable for children!

Absolutely not! It's a valid question because a mineral filter typically leaves a white cast. However, our non-nano Zinc Oxide filter has a natural coating made from castor oil. This ensures that the Zinc Oxide does not leave a white cast and remains easy to apply.

The scented candles and refills are produced 100% carbon-neutral in the Netherlands and made from 100% natural wax derived from rapeseed and coconut oil. Not only is this better for the environment, but the natural composition also provides a longer burning time and effective fragrance diffusion.

We recommend burning the candle for at least two hours, or as long as necessary until the entire surface has melted. This helps prevent a small portion of the candle from burning faster and causing a tunnel. Additionally, we recommend keeping the wick short for prolonged enjoyment of the candle.

Refill your scented candle easily in a few steps:

1. Rinse the inside of the glass with warm water. Disclaimer: the glass is not dishwasher safe.
2. Remove the pit and any candle residue from the glass with a paper towel.
3. Dry the glass thoroughly.
4. Take your Scented Candle Refill from the packaging and remove the paper.
5. Place the wax in the glass. Enjoy your new scented candle!

The Monochrome Fragrance Sticks come in large 750 ml bottles, allowing you to enjoy your favorite scent for up to 8 months. Currently available in two variants: No.10 Rock Roses and No.12 Objets d'Amsterdam. What makes our fragrance sticks unique is that they are endlessly refillable. This means you can continuously choose and experience different scents, tailored to your preferences, ensuring a lasting enjoyment.

Marie-Stella-Maris has been dedicated to developing sustainable packaging that not only lasts but can also be endlessly refilled. Refilling helps reduce waste, CO2 emissions, and water usage, minimizing our environmental impact. A unique feature of 'The Monochrome Edition' is that the new fragrance candles and sticks can be refilled with one of Marie-Stella-Maris's five unique scents. Refilling not only reduces waste; by refilling your fragrance stick instead of buying a new one, you save water and reduce CO2 emissions. By combining your favorite design – whether white or black – with your preferred fragrance, you not only create a personalized and unique scent experience at home but also reduce your environmental footprint. It all depends on your needs.

You can determine the right time to refill your Monochrome Fragrance Sticks using a few simple methods:  

• Remove the sticks carefully: Gently take the fragrance sticks out of the bottle and check the bottom. If the sticks appear dry or release less scent, it's time to refill.
• Check inside the bottle: you can carefully look inside to see how much liquid is left.  
• IHold up to the light: Hold the bottle up to the light. If you can't see the liquid well, the bottle is likely empty or nearly empty.  
• Feel: Gently shake the bottle back and forth. If you feel little to no movement or hear no liquid sloshing around, it's time to refill the bottle.

In our new Monochrome Edition fragrance sticks collection, we offer different scents perfectly matched to the color of the glass. In the elegant matte black glass, you'll find our deeper and warmer scent, Rock Roses, ideal for a cozy and luxurious atmosphere. On the other hand, we have a fresher scent like Objets d'Amsterdam in the matte white glass. 

If you prefer a different glass color, you can first purchase the fragrance sticks in the two mentioned scents. Once they are used up, you can easily refill the bottle with a new fragrance that suits your needs, mood, or season. The unique feature of this collection is that you can refill the Monochrome Fragrance Sticks with a scent of your choice once they are empty. This allows you to continuously vary and enjoy your favorite scents, tailored to your mood or the season.

You can easily refill our fragrance sticks and choose a new scent to enjoy each time.

 Here's how to refill your fragrance sticks in a few simple steps:  

1. Remove the Sticks and Screw Cap: Take the sticks out of the glass bottle carefully and unscrew the diffuser cap. Note: the presence of alcohol in the formulation may cause stains on sensitive surfaces. To prevent this, we recommend using a coaster during refilling or refilling over a sink. Always place the sticks on a coaster and not directly on furniture. Ensure that the outside of the bottle is dry. 
2. Clean the Bottle: Clean the glass bottle with warm water to remove any residues from the previous refill. Be careful not to damage the outside of the bottle with the water. 
3. Create a Funnel: Fold the packaging of the Reed Pack to create a funnel. This will help pour the refill carefully without spilling. 
4. Fill the Bottle: Use the homemade funnel to refill the glass bottle. Leave about 2 cm of space at the top to accommodate the sticks. Be careful and try to avoid getting the liquid on your hands, the bottle, or the surface. 
5. Replace the Screw Cap: Screw the diffuser cap back onto the bottle. Replace the sticks if necessary and place them back into the bottle. 

Silky Soft Shower Mousse is Marie-Stella-Maris’ new, luxurious shower foam that comes out of the bottle as a ready-made mousse. Enjoy a velvety-soft shower sensation where rich foam and refined fragrances meet. Enriched with prebiotics and green tea, this caring mousse cleanses, hydrates and lightly perfumes your skin. Naturally gentle, refreshingly crisp — for a shower that’s anything but ordinary. 

It is the first product in our body-care line that is dispensed as foam straight from the bottle. The silky mousse offers a playful, sumptuous shower experience, unlike our liquid body washes.

Foaming Body Wash is a liquid soap that only turns into foam when you use it, whereas Silky Soft Shower Mousse is already a mousse when it leaves the bottle, giving it a richer, airier texture and an extra-soft feel on the skin. By choosing Foaming Body Wash, you make a conscious, sustainable choice: it contains a concentrate you top up with water from your own tap, reducing waste without compromising on quality. More information about our various luxury shower essentials can be found here.

Yes. Shake well before use. On first use, press the pump firmly until you hear a click; this releases the safety lock. The mousse will come out light and ready to use. Keep the bottle upright while dispensing for best results.

• Green-tea extract: gently cleanses, soothes and contains antioxidants that protect the skin.
• Prebiotics: feed the skin’s good bacteria and help keep the microbiome balanced, supporting the skin barrier and improving moisture levels.
• 92 % natural ingredients: free from SLS, SLES, parabens and silicones for mild yet effective cleansing.

Yes. The formula is mild and contains no harsh sulfates (SLS/SLES), parabens or silicones. The addition of prebiotics and green-tea extract makes it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. We always recommend checking the ingredient list for potential allergens, with extra attention to any listed allergens.
