Care and environment

Meishai embodies a philosophy of “less is more” — a mindset that runs through everything we do. We carefully consider what’s truly essential in our fragrance-free, allergy-friendly haircare products, as well as in the way we approach packaging and delivery. By using fewer resources and prioritizing conscious choices at every step, we aim to create Meishai with as little impact as possible — both on our bodies and the environment.

We hope Meishai can inspire more mindful habits, from how we treat our skin and hair to what we flush down the drain. Buy better. Buy less. A motto we hold close is: “Have little – but the good stuff.” It’s exactly the way Meishai was created. To reduce plastic we use 500ml bottles, because haircare is something most of us use daily. Our customers choose larger bottles to help us minimize overall plastic waste.

When plastic isn’t necessary, we opt for glass packaging — a more holistic and intentional choice that reflects our overall approach. The same care goes into our decision to avoid extra outer packaging and free samples. Both create unnecessary waste and go against our minimalistic haircare philosophy. Instead, we trust that our formulations speak for themselves — and that our customers choose with intention, not excess. All packaging and shipping materials are 100% recyclable and made from 70% recycled paper.

We make all our decisions with care — and choose as consciously as we possibly can, in the world we live in.

    Recycle guide

    We have created a guide on how to recycle properly. We use half-liter bottles to reduce our plastic consumption and Meishai Shampoo, Conditioner and Shower gel comes with a pump to help avoid waste of the product.

    1. Clean the packaging thoroughly.

    Whether it’s plastic bottles, jars, or glass, it’s important that the packaging is completely empty and clean.

    Add a bit of water, shake or rinse, and use the last bit of product – this helps make the materials easier to recycle.

    2. Separate the components.

    Our plastic bottles and jar come with pumps or lids that should be removed before recycling, as the parts are often made from different materials.

    Glass packaging should be sorted without lids or plastic elements.

    3. Sort correctly.

    – Plastic bottles and jars: in the plastic container

    – Pumps and lids: check your local guidelines – typically hard plastic

    – Glass: in the glass container

    Small actions matter – especially when we make them together.
