National Eczema Association awarded MUDMASKY with the Seal of Acceptance!

The MUDMASKY Leave Me On Winter Mask has been awarded the Seal of Acceptance™ from the National Eczema Association today!

This seal is considered the hardest recognition in the skincare world. To qualify, a product must go through years of independent testing, strict ingredient reviews, and scientific approval from leading dermatologists and allergists. For the Winter Mask, the process lasted more than five years and involved more than one thousand people across multiple countries.

The result is a moisturizer that is now one of the most carefully studied skincare products ever created.

Independent Testing on an Unprecedented Scale

Most skincare brands test their products internally or with small groups of volunteers. What makes the Leave Me On Winter Mask different is that every stage of testing was carried out by independent laboratories, without influence from MUDMASKY.

Over the course of five years, the formula was subjected to

• Patch testing on sensitive and eczema prone skin
• Repeat Insult Patch Tests that confirmed long term safety
• Clinical studies in both Europe and the United States, measuring hydration, barrier repair, and comfort
• Toxicological reviews of every ingredient under European Union and United States cosmetic law
• Real world trials with doctors and nurses who applied the product daily under surgical masks during exhausting shifts

The scale of this process is almost unheard of for a moisturizer. With more than one thousand participants included in independent trials, the Leave Me On Winter Mask has likely become the most tested moisturizer in the world.

From Innovation in 2018 to Lifeline in 2020

The Winter Mask was first launched in 2018 as the world’s first moisturizer designed for deep hydration during cold weather. Its rich and protective formula quickly attracted people searching for long lasting hydration, not just in winter but throughout the year.

When the COVID 19 pandemic struck, MUDMASKY made a bold decision. In the summer of 2020, the company donated more than € 100,000 / $ 120,000 (excluding shipping costs) worth of Winter Mask to hospitals across Europe and the United States. Doctors and nurses wore the moisturizer daily under protective masks and found much needed relief for dry and irritated skin.
