Our latest discovery has arrived! Sourced in Berlin, Merme joins the Oh My Cream selection. Haven't heard of it? Don't worry: here's everything you need to know about this lovely brand founded by the radiant Claire Ralston!
The story of Merme
Born in Australia, Claire began her career in modelling before moving into publishing and the beauty industry. Passionate about the sector and an avid cosmetics user, she gradually became interested in the benefits of plants and their effects on skin. In 2014, she settled in Berlin and began rethinking the skincare products she used. Unsatisfied with the products on the market, she decided to source the best ingredients herself from places renowned for their quality. Little by little, her project took shape: her brand would be called Merme (pronounced “Meurmi”), after her beloved grandmother, whose bathroom was full of natural beauty secrets and treasures...
Merme and Oh My Cream
At Oh My Cream, Jessica, our Purchasing Director, is always on the lookout for what's new. Ever-active on social media, she searches tirelessly for the next gem to reach our shelves and benefit your skin. That's how Merme's products landed on our desks. We were won over by the idea of offering a 100% natural brand with an ultra-minimalist approach and only pure ingredients (almost all its formulas contain just one ingredient)!
Merme also lets you personalise your skincare with an incredibly easy mix-and-match system: add Boosters (ultra-pure essential oils) to your skincare, or give your skin an extra glow by simply mixing a Glow Booster (mica powder compatible with every formula) into a lotion or elixir.
Which skin types?
Merme is for all skin types seeking simplicity and gentle formulations. Its single-ingredient formulas are exceptionally pure, ensuring excellent tolerance for all skin types, including the most sensitive and delicate. The option to mix and match products lets you tailor the results while remaining gentle on skin.
If you're looking for purity, complete transparency and full traceability, Merme's approach should appeal to you too. Every bottle states exactly which country each ingredient comes from.
If you're pregnant, the brand is also ideal for this time, offering simple skincare without unnecessary extras. Just leave the Essential Oil Boosters out of your routine. The brand is also 100% vegan.
The must-try products
Facial Hydration Serum Pure Hyaluronic Acid: pure hyaluronic acid and water for intense hydration! Its simple yet highly effective formula harnesses the power of hyaluronic acid, a remarkable molecule able to hold more than 1,000 times its weight in water. Highly tolerable, this serum can even be applied around the eyes and lips to smooth dehydration lines in an instant.
Apply under your cream morning and evening for an immediate plumping effect.
Facial Brightening Vitamin-C Powder Pure Vitamin C Powder : a powder made of 100% vitamin C... and nothing else! It's the perfect radiance-boosting, dark-spot-targeting treatment to mix into your skincare products. If your skin is sensitive, we recommend adding a spoonful to your cleanser for a vitamin-packed start to the day.
Use daily or as a 4-to-6-week course for a lasting effect on skin tone evenness.
Facial Beauty Elixir Pure Wild Rose Oil: 100% organic cold-pressed rosehip oil! The ultimate restorative oil, this treatment does it all. Its perfecting action helps fade minor skin imperfections (scars and dark spots), while its high concentration of wild rose oil makes it a powerful anti-ageing treatment. A great preventative step to adopt from age 25!
Use in the morning after Facial Hydration Serum Pure Hyaluronic Acid and before your day cream, or on its own in the evening as a restorative treatment.
