Allergy has always been a condition for me. I am multi-allergic and suffer from atopic eczema. For as long as I can remember, itchy eyes, hives and sneezing have been part of my daily life. Unfortunately, my allergic reactions only got worse with age and with a budding interest in makeup, guidance very quickly became necessary to be as gentle as possible on myself and my body.
The interest in beauty and makeup did not fade, on the contrary, it flourished, and despite countless sceptical doctors, friends and family members, I did not care; I wanted to pursue my dream and started training as a makeup artist. Unfortunately, I soon found out that the sceptics were right. This had a significant impact on my allergies, which became so severe that I had to be medicated every day and more or less wave goodbye to my social life beyond education. By the end of the day, all energy and energy had evaporated. I no longer cared - the allergy was running my life and I wasn't going to accept it. So, together with Tine, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
Since the first time I tried makeup, I've missed a brand like Miild. As a makeup artist, I've met many people with allergies who, like Tine and me, have longed for a safe alternative. Miild was created for all of us who want the option of choosing the pure, natural alternative. For those of you who suffer from allergies and those of you who want to reduce the risk of developing them.

Allergy had never been a part of my life until a few years ago when I suddenly experienced daily discomfort in the form of runny eyes, stuffy throat, countless sneezes, bumps all over my face and hives. My work as a make-up artist had exposed me to so much harmful chemistry that I unfortunately developed skin allergies. Without any form of congenital allergy, I had no idea what it was going to do to my well-being. The allergy challenged me in many ways, but it also became my motivation to do something about the problem myself.
I love my work - living out my creativity through makeup. But for me it's really important that the dream of beauty doesn't become synonymous with doing harm to my own body. When I was diagnosed with skin allergies, I was advised to use organic mineral makeup, but it turned out to be almost impossible to find. I turned over every new product in the hope of stumbling across something I could tolerate. Unfortunately, my experience was that ingredient lists and product descriptions were completely impenetrable. It was almost impossible to be aware of how pure the products really were.
I realised along the way that there was simply no brand that was 100% transparent, safe and understandable to the consumer. That, together with Tanja, I have created in the form of Miild.
