Your Questions, Answered
Understanding Mendocino Minerals
What distinguishes Mendocino Minerals in the beauty market?
Our unique stance in the beauty market stems from our science-led approach. Every product is developed in-house, under the guidance of our co-founder, Dr. Mia Berrettini, a Doctor of Chemistry. This ensures that our beauty solutions are not just effective but also sustainable and ethical, clearly setting us apart.
How do Mendocino Minerals' practices diverge from the industry norms of private labeling and drop shipping?
Private labeling is when a product made by one company is sold under another brand's name, often leading to identical items marketed under different brands. Drop shipping is a method where products are shipped directly from the manufacturer to the customer, bypassing the selling brand's physical inventory. In contrast, Mendocino Minerals develops all our products within our facilities, ensuring authenticity, quality, and uniqueness. Dr. Mia Berrettini's involvement guarantees our formulations are scientifically sound, offering safe and effective beauty solutions grounded in the latest research and natural ingredients.
