Meria is a two-product cream brand made in Charlevoix, Michigan. One cream for skin. One cream for hair. Both 4 ounces. Both built on an aloe-vera base, not water — the hair cream at a published, weighed 38%. Both naming every ingredient on the label, in order of concentration, in plain English. The label is the brand.
The category Meria competes in is built on information asymmetry: $200 to $700 creams whose first ingredient is water and whose second is a synthetic emollient. Meria’s bet is that this asymmetry is breaking. A generation that reads INCI lists, scans ingredient apps, and refuses sunscreens with octinoxate is now ready to refuse a moisturizer that is mostly seawater and silicone.
Pricing is $88 for the skin cream and $68 for the hair cream — set at the formulation’s actual cost, not at the category’s mystique premium. The two-product line is the position itself, not a constraint. SKU expansion is the most reliable way to dilute a luxury house, and Meria will not dilute.
