Mera draws its name from the Greek word "Meraki," which means to infuse one's work with soul, creativity, and love. This captures the mission of its co-founders, Rebecca and Ashley, who recognized a pressing need for skincare products centered around intentional formulation, affordability, and holistic well-being.

As a practitioner and teacher with over a decade of experience in Ayurveda and Yoga, Ashley has devoted herself to promoting women’s wellness, empowering them to embrace optimal health, vitality, and happiness. Ayurveda, herbalism, and self-care have been pivotal in Ashley’s own healing journey, sparking a deep desire to share their gifts with people everywhere. 

Rebecca has always been passionate about crafting her own self-care products. In 2015 she embarked on a personal mission to prioritize balanced living with help from clean, sustainable products. Rebecca has spent her career managing mission-driven startups and developing impactful products. After dedicating nearly a decade to helping other founders realize their visions, she knew it was time to bring one of her own to life. 

Ashley and Rebecca connected over their balanced living and natural skincare practices. Harmonizing their distinct expertise and shared passion, they created Mera to transform how people perceive and embrace beauty.
