We believe that clean beauty and sustainability go hand in hand to preserve our lives and our planet.
We are committed to creating products that nourish our bodies while keeping our beauty routine minimal and effective. Our ingredients are derived from the ocean and earth as we believe they offer countless benefits and remedies.
As a business located by the sea, we witness first-hand how our waste affects the shore and sea life.
We are committed to using recyclable materials wherever possible. Our goal is to become a Carbon Neutral business by reducing our carbon footprint and supporting causes that actively reduce global emissions.
We honor humankind through ethical sourcing and business practices.
MerMarché products are vegan and cruelty-free. We will never use animal products or byproducts. And will never test on animals.
Our prayer is that by honoring people and the planet through our brand efforts, we will inspire others to embrace whole beauty and commune with nature.
MerMarché was birthed out of a love for enhancing the well-being of others. After running a hair salon and spa for many years, the amount of waste our small business produced alarmed us. Between the supplies we used and products we offered, it felt like we were taking so much from the Earth in the quest to feel more beautiful. There had to be a better way to converge the two.
Our journey to becoming a sustainable salon and spa began by collecting 90% of our waste to be up-cycled. We quickly found that it wasn't easy, yet deeply rewarding. Knowing our guests trusted us and the changes we were implementing (ahead of the norm) gave us energy and ignited our passion to do better.
This ignited a new desire to transcend the beauty industry, not only with our business practices and services, but also by creating products that honor our bodies and our planet.
We have learned along the way that sustainability practices are just that...practice. We'll never be perfect at it, but we will continue to give our best and improve.
As a hairstylist since 2008, Christie Wright has always dreamed of a place that spoke to like-minded spirits—those who desire to feel their most beautiful while caring for others and the planet. She wanted to create a place to exude beauty both inside and outside its doors.
Christie opened the doors of MerMarché in 2016 as a beloved local hair salon. It has expanded into a skin spa, a sustainable beauty goods market, and now a product brand.
Christie and her family reside in Southern California. Her days are spent leading the business, beach walks with her family, practicing yoga, and balancing all the intricacies that come with motherhood and business ownership. She wouldn't have it any other way.
