What is MILO?
MILO is an emerging brand working to transform the global understanding of how private sector companies can be a force for good. We believe that MILO as a company will engage in many industries over the next few decades as we build infrastructure on the foundation of our philosophy.

What is MILO Human Care?
The modern beauty industry has been perpetuating false ideals in service of profit for over 100 years. MILO’s first endeavor is tackling one of the most toxic industries globally by creating a new category called Human Care.

What is MILO Multifunctional?
Where to start when rebuilding an industry? We looked at the biggest problems facing the beauty industry - overconsumption, unrealistic standards, disinformation - all in service of profit. We went back to basics and deconstructed industry-perpetuated guidelines and came up with an entirely new concept. MILO Multifunctional is the antidote to overconsumption. A system of three products, thoughtfully designed as a comprehensive solution that supports the skin’s natural processes. This system of three products - Everything Oil, Refreshing Tonic, and Activating Powder—addresses the top factors of skin, scalp, and hair health using carefully selected multifunctional ingredients to effectively replace up to 18 different products.
