Named in full · Botanical Matte Hair Cream · the formulation
The label is the formula.
Nothing buried, nothing abbreviated. Here is what Meria's hair cream is built on — by weight, in order, every figure published. Aloe-vera juice leads at 38%. The bronze bar is each ingredient's real share of the jar.
These are the locked formulation percentages, not estimates and not a range — but they are formulation targets rather than a weighed production card, and the exact INCI is finalized from the first weighed batch. The complete 27-ingredient list is published in full below; nothing is left off. Fragrance-free: no essential oils, no synthetic “Parfum.”
The two creams
Two creams. One standard.
Both four ounces, hand-finished in small batches, and printed front-to-back with everything inside. Choose one — or wear the pair.
Face + Body · 4 oz
Botanical Skin Cream

Notes · from the dispatch
Four short essays.
In long-form.
Meria writes about the ingredients, the formulation, and the craft — one piece at a time, never as a listicle.
01 · On formulation
Decoding moisturizers.
What actually goes into the $380 jar — five pillars that separate exceptional creams from expensive marketing.

How to read an INCI list.
The back of the jar is the brand. A short field guide to ingredient lists, in the order they actually appear.
Read the essay03 · On ingredients
Tremella mushroom in skincare.
Snow mushroom holds 500x its weight in water with smaller molecules than HA — deeper, longer-lasting hydration.
Read the essay04 · On fragrance
Natural vs synthetic fragrance.
Why Meria does not list “Parfum”. The difference between a single named extract and a 200-component fragrance blend.
Read the essayThe Dispatch · Occasional · Twice a Month at Most
A small dispatch from Meria.
An ingredient at a time. A formulation note now and then. The occasional editorial on what's wrong with the rest of the category. Sent only when there's something worth saying.
