01: The Client

Milksta is a vegan and caffeine-free supplement that supports healthy breastfeeding for nursing mothers. Its target audience is expectant and new mothers seeking natural lactation support.

The brand was born from a genuine desire to help mothers on their breastfeeding journey with clean, plant-based ingredients that they can trust.

Milksta needed a brand identity that would resonate with health-conscious mothers who prioritize natural, wholesome products for themselves and their babies.

02: The Objective

We aimed to create a minimal brand identity in order to describe the product correctly and connect emotionally with nursing mothers.

We designed a sympathetic emblem that instills love, depicting the mother’s breast in the form of a heart, symbolizing the nurturing bond between mother and child.

We wanted to emphasize the naturalness of the product in packaging designs and decorated the packaging with delicate plant patterns that evoke purity and organic wellness.

The goal was to create packaging that mothers would feel proud to display, knowing it represents their commitment to natural, healthy choices.

03: The Solution

While creating the brand identity, we focused primarily on the color palette to differentiate each product variant while maintaining brand cohesion.

We designed different tones of packaging for each product, creating a harmonious family of products that are instantly recognizable on the shelf.

We made the design look as plain and natural as possible, allowing the botanical illustrations to speak to the product’s plant-based origins.

The emblem depicting the mother’s breast in the form of a heart brings the product together with a more understandable packaging design that resonates with the target audience.

04: Color Palette

The color system was carefully crafted to evoke feelings of warmth, nurturing, and natural wellness:

Soft Pastels: gentle tones that feel calming and maternal.

Natural Greens: representing the plant-based, vegan nature of the supplements.

Warm Neutrals: creating a sense of comfort and trust.

Each product variant received its own distinct color while maintaining the overall brand harmony, making it easy for mothers to identify their preferred formula.

Delicate botanical illustrations adorn each package, reinforcing the plant-based nature of the supplements while adding visual elegance.

The clean, minimal layout ensures that key product information is easily accessible, helping busy mothers make informed decisions quickly.

Premium finishing touches elevate the unboxing experience, making each purchase feel special and thoughtful.
