Meet the Woman Behind the Bottle
Hi, I'm Mel.
I never imagined one allergic reaction would change the direction of my life.
One day, my face swelled so badly I looked like a puffer fish.
My own husband didn't recognise me.
It was frightening, frustrating and completely overwhelming.
I became obsessed with understanding what I was putting on my skin.
I started researching ingredients.
The more I learnt, the less comfortable I felt.
So I decided to learn how to formulate my own skincare.
Welcome to Merindah.

The Skincare I Couldn't Find
I wasn't looking for more skincare.
I was looking for skincare I could trust.
Not a ten-step routine.
Not skincare filled with unnecessary extras.
Just products that felt good to use and helped my skin feel calm, comfortable and hydrated.
That's the philosophy Merindah was built on.
What I believe
I don't believe skincare needs to be complicated.
I don't believe you need a cupboard full of products to look after your skin.
And I don't believe women should simply accept that changing skin is something they have to live with.
I believe the right skincare should help your skin feel calm, comfortable and hydrated—whatever stage of life you're in.
Made in Australia. Formulated in Tasmania.
After what happened to my skin, I don't take ingredients lightly.
Every formula I create is one I'd happily use on my own skin.
But skincare isn't just about ingredients.
It's about how it makes you feel.
I want those few minutes in front of the mirror to feel like a deep breath before your day begins. A small moment of calm in a busy life.
When your skin feels hydrated, comfortable and calm, everything else feels a little easier.
Ready to feel good in your skin again?
