Our Story
Clean water for everyone, everywhere
Who is Marie-Stella-Maris?
We are a Dutch lifestyle brand and social enterprise, offering natural care products, luxurious home fragrances and natural mineral water.
We strongly believe that people have the right to live in dignity, which includes the right to clean, safe and accessible (drinking) water. Having access to clean water will empower people to take control of their lives and build their own future.
For each product you purchase, we donate a fixed amount towards clean drinking water projects worldwide. > Discover our full care assortment online.
"Having access to clean water will empower people to take control of their lives and build their own future."
It started with Patrick Munsters (r.); after a successful career in fashion he wanted make a change and inspire people to consume more (social) consciously.
When in 2010 the United Nations declared access to clean drinking water and sanitation to be a human right, Munsters got inspired.
A year later, in 2011, he and his business partner Carel Neuberg (l.) founded Marie-Stella-Maris, a social enterprise, to contribute to improving access to clean drinking water in the world.

For each Marie-Stella-Maris product you purchase, a fixed amount goes to clean drinking water projects. For our natural mineral water we calculate a contribution of 5 ct/L and for our care products a contribution of 5% of our turnover.
Each month the total contribution of all the sold products is carefully calculated. This amount will be directly transferred to the Marie-Stella-Maris Foundation.
Thanks to your contribution we can make a difference. With all supported clean drinking water projects we already provide over 27.000 people with access to clean drinking water.
