About us

How we got started

MISMO is an Australian owned company that has been developing and manufacturing an effective and affordable range of natural skin care, pain management and exercise recovery products since 2002. 

The company was founded by Irene McDonald who was inspired to produce the first nutritional skincare range based around MSM due to her very personal journey. 

On the family dairy farm in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Irene was first introduced to MSM by a neighbour who had long been using MSM for animal health and wellbeing. Research then led to understanding the broader benefits of MSM for skin health and Irene began developing the MISMO range of natural, non-irritating skin care products.  In part this was to help with a serious case of Rosacea and the fast relief that skincare formulations containing MSM were able to provide.

Over the last 20 years the MISMO skin care range has continued to expand, and formulations have been fine-tuned as research has evolved and new active ingredients have become available and proven effective.  MISMO MSM and a range of magnesium products complement the skin care range.

MISMO has grown through word-of-mouth from a loyal group of customers and has now shipped over 100,000 orders across Australia and around the world.

We don't pay influencers or outsource marketing. 

Our commitment to you

Our philosophy is to take the very best of laboratory-synthesised ingredients and the very best naturally-derived ingredients and combine the two in synergy to create highly effective, evidence-based, ethical skincare.

MISMO skincare products are all made in Queensland and contain natural oils, organic aloe vera, and MSM. We DO NOT use propylene glycol, parabens, mineral oils, alcohol, sodium laurel sulphate, micro-beads or colouring. Fragrance (where applicable) is achieved by blending hypo-allergenic aromas.

The long-term health of your skin and health is always our top priority.

Our commitment to our planet and sustainability

We love and respect our environment and are mindful of the impact we have on that environment. We continue to look for more sustainable ways of working and try to source as much of our raw materials and packaging supplies from within Australia and favour local suppliers wherever possible.

Most of our packaging is made from recyclable or renewable materials; we also use plant-based inks, biodegradable wrapping paper, and the mail sachets we use are made from 100% recyclable material.

We are continually seeking ways in which we can lighten our carbon footprint. If you have any suggestions, email us at support@mismo.com.au

We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all First Nation’s People today.

We have been using Cell Soother for years. I think pretty much since it came onto the market. I use it as a toner. Also so good for midge & mozzie bites. Have used on ant bites 7 bee stings

Best natural spf moisturiser ever

I've tried so many zinc based spf and they all sat on my skin left me shiny greasy looking and feeling...clogged my pores leading to acne. I love mismo products for daily use, the spf is incredibly lightweight somewhat matte, makes my skin smoother and younger looking erases fine lines. It's not waterproof but if you mix some castor oil in or apply over the top It stays on.

Daily Moisturiser with tint SPF15

Happy with trial size it give you a look at how much tint it has in it and if it’s suitable for you

Hideous tasting product

This product tastes so awful, its like drinking epsom salts. Its not possible to hide that taste. Mismo suggested various options but nothing hides that taste. Awful and a waste of money. A real shame.

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, though I’m sorry to hear it wasn’t a good experience for you.

MSM definitely has a strong taste—there’s no sugar-coating that (literally or figuratively!). It’s something we’re upfront about on the website, and while we always do our best to suggest mixing options, some people just can’t get past the flavour. That’s totally fair—and also why we offer MSM in capsule form for those who want the benefits without the taste.

Most of the reviews we receive focus on the results people experience—less joint pain, improved skin, better mobility—but we understand that not everyone can stick with it long enough to see those changes, especially when the taste is a barrier. MSM does require a bit of persistence over a couple of weeks to feel the effects, and we get that it’s not for everyone.

Appreciate you giving it a go, and hope you’re able to find something that suits you better.

Cheers,
Peter

Trial bundle

Love the trial pack. So many products and all of them feel lovely on my skin. Thank you so much 😊

Excellent results, wish it wasn’t in a big plastic container

Definitely noticed a difference in my joints. I wish it was in a recyclable soft pouch, rather than a big plastic jar, but I do find a use for some of them.
