About My Green Life

Made for people who think carefully about what enters their home

We believe everyday products should work exceptionally well, be fairly priced for their quality and leave us with better choices for the packaging afterward.

What guides us

A product has to earn its place in your home

1

It has to work

Strong everyday performance comes first. Repeat customers are what give us confidence that MGL products become a valued part of household routines.

2

It should be considered

Our products are plant-based, vegan-friendly and developed as exclusive MGL variations with a local laboratory.

3

Its packaging still matters

We use glass for the product bottle and keep eligible refill packaging in circulation through return, cleaning, reuse and eventual recycling.

Why this became personal

We began questioning products we had once overlooked

When our son developed a severe nappy rash, we began questioning every product involved in our family’s daily routines—including products we had previously overlooked.

We changed the product used to wash his bottles, and the experience transformed how we thought about everyday household products.

It was not medical proof. It prompted a lasting principle for our family: understand what we use, question what we take for granted and make deliberate choices wherever we can. That principle continues to shape why MGL matters to us.

Performance and fair value

We are not trying to be the cheapest

We choose products based on how well they work, what they are made from, how they fit into our homes and what happens to the packaging afterward.

MGL may not be the cheapest option on the shelf, but we are not interested in charging an unreasonable premium. We work to offer effective, plant-based products at a fair price while making considered choices about formulations and packaging.

Designed to remain useful

From glass bottle to refill—and back again

Reusable packaging costs more to provide than packaging designed to be thrown away. We accept that upfront cost because we believe a bottle should remain useful for as long as possible.

  1. 1

    Keep the glass bottle

    Your original MGL product is supplied in glass. Keep it in your home for future refills.

  2. 2

    Order a refill

    Empty the refill into your original glass bottle and continue using the product as normal.

  3. 3

    Return the eligible refill container

    Returned eligible packaging is cleaned and reused. When it becomes too old to reuse, it is recycled.

  4. 4

    Receive a Bottle Return Token

    A token can cover eligible refill packaging on a future order. It is a non-financial refill entitlement, not cash or a refundable deposit.

How our range is made

Local expertise, exclusive MGL variations

We work with a local laboratory that produces the goods we bottle for the MGL range.

Our role goes beyond choosing products from a standard list. We work on our own variations of the formulations, which the laboratory produces exclusively for us. This lets us build a coherent range around the performance, plant-based approach and household needs that matter to us.

Why we chose a member-led model

We would rather reward people who believe in the products

Getting MGL products onto retail shelves meant competing for limited space, losing margin at multiple stages and carrying the risk of delayed payment. We felt our products—and the people who believed in them—were being lost in the noise.

We chose a different route. Instead of directing that value into conventional retail distribution, we created a programme that rewards members for introducing products they genuinely use and believe in.

You do not need to buy or hold stock, collect payments, process orders or arrange delivery. MGL handles the customer’s order and fulfilment. Membership is free, and no personal spending is required to access the standard 15% commission rate on qualifying profit from eligible sales by people you introduce.

Higher bonus rates are optional. Earnings depend on qualifying sales and are never guaranteed.
