Packaging
The brand uses Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) packaging, which is also recyclable at the end of use, to support recycling efforts and reduce reliance on virgin materials. Biodegradable packaging is not currently used, as the brand prioritises the shelf life, quality, and safety of its products for oncology patients.
Water usage
The brand uses minimal water during production, mainly only for the formation of the products. Their use of natural ingredients also minimizes water pollution.
NOTE: Water usage/pollution down to the raw materials is generally impossible to know for cosmetic products.
Circular packaging design
MOKSI states that it uses PCR and recyclable packaging. This means that the packaging is made of post consumer recycled products, which keeps them in use and out of landfills for longer. However, there is no mention of a takeback or refill system for used containers.
Distance & complexity of the supply chain
The brand’s headquarters and production is located in Belgium. The brand exports its products across the world as well, increasing the length of a supply chain.
Transportation
Lies picks up supplies for the brand herself in her car, and for e‑commerce she uses b‑post for shipping.
All Moksi products are completely vegan and cruelty-free.
MOKSI offers a limited selection of hypoallergenic products — body lotion, lip balm, face cream, and shower butter — designed to support sensitive skin during treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

MOKSI does not engage in sales periods, focusing on consistent, specialised care.
