Shea, mango and illipe butters, soft enough to fold with a spatula. Rich in the jar; on the face it sinks in within a minute.
Other creams sell the front of the jar. Meria sells the back.
An ingredient list gives the order. This one, the hair cream’s, shows how much of each is in the jar as well, from most of the jar down to a trace. Every ingredient is named, and none is left off.

Reading, from Meria.
On labels, fragrance and silicones, written from the ingredient lists themselves.
- How to Read a Skincare Ingredient ListIngredient lists run in order of amount down to 1%, so the first few usually make up most of the product. How to read any label in a minute.
- Natural Fragrance vs. Synthetic Fragrance in Skincare: What You Should KnowWhat 'fragrance' means on a label, what the FDA says about natural and synthetic fragrance, and how to read any list for scent.
- Silicone in Hair Products: Which Kinds Build Up, and Which Don'tFour kinds of silicone, how each leaves the hair, and what 66 leave-in stylers actually contain. Which build up, how to clear them, how to read a label.
- Why Your Hair Feels Greasy After Styling ProductsThat greasy feeling is usually too much product rather than your hair. Where the oils and butters sit on a label, and how much to use.
