Why Merida?

(‘mare’ - ĭ - duh)

MeridaSKIN is the only brand with EWG Verified® formulas developed specifically for rosacea. EWG Verified® is how you know that our ingredients are just plain safer. Our tea tree oil is a prime example. Tea tree oil holds many potential skin benefits, but it can also provoke skin reactions if not sourced and tested carefully. We only purchase tea tree oil that has undergone gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to ensure that it does not contain problematic levels of methyl eugenol or para-cymene. Our other ingredients undergo similar rigorous review.

Another differentiator is that we share the results of independently-performed, dermatologist-reviewed, repeated insult patch testing for each of our formulas. We've not seen any other skincare brand that does that. It's easy and happy for us to do, because our results are perfect. Repeated insult patch testing should be done on every personal care product before it is ever sold in order to determine whether it might cause irritation or allergy to skin. All of our formulas showed zero reaction for all testing participants at all time points. The independent dermatologist who oversaw the testing issued a report for each product stating it showed no potential for causing skin irritation or sensitization.

Finally, we place trustworthiness, honesty and customer satisfaction at the center of all we do. Our Founder experienced repeated disappointments in her search for rosacea relief, and she wants MeridaSKIN to be your bright spot.


Product Standards

At Merida SkinLabs, our products are formulated to ensure that every ingredient has both an important function and a strong record of safety in humans and in the environment. We do not use ingredients that are trendy but unproven, and we go beyond simply avoiding ingredients currently thought to be problematic. We continuously review scientific evidence from around the world to ensure that each ingredient we use has a beneficial purpose in the product and is chosen to avoid:

Skin reactions

(sensitivity, allergy, irritation)

Pore-clogging

(comedogenicity)

Cancer

(carcinogens)

Endocrine disruption

(affecting hormone balance)

Bioaccumulation

(build-up in the body)

Adverse environmental impact

(water quality, habitat loss, animal toxicity)

Unfair labor practices

Additionally, our packaging is designed to be environmentally kind, using minimal and recyclable or reusable materials wherever practical.
