OUR MISSION

Cleaner Beauty. Cleaner Living.

We're connecting the East and West with clean beauty and lifestyle products... offering an opportunity to discover different concept, culture and products of clean.

3 Tiers of Clean Curation

"Our clean living journey has progressed one choice at a time. We started MU New York to help make your journey simpler, clearer... and more fun! Our strict curation process ensures our products meet our standard. But different individuals require different levels of curation related to allergens, health, skincare and more. That's why each MU product is rated on a thorough three-tiered scale - so you can effortlessly discover clean beauty and lifestyle brands that are good for you and your unique needs."
