The idea for MERE Oil Blends was born unexpectedly during a family trip to Portugal. While enjoying the beautiful streets of Lisbon, I found myself dealing with a painful sunburn, a split nail, and a rash from bug bites. I had packed all the usual remedies but nothing seemed to help. So I ventured into a local pharmacy in search of something to ease my discomfort.

That's when a kind pharmacist suggested trying aloe vera for my sunburn and itching. It helped, but only temporarily. Later, while in Porto, I treated myself to a facial and massage from an amazing certified aesthetician and aromatherapist. The oils she used, blended with essential oils, brought instant comfort and calm to my irritated skin. Her expertise sparked an idea. Encouraged by her advice, I began researching and experimenting with oil blends myself.

I combined soothing aloe with carefully selected oils, and within days, my itching disappeared, and my bug bite scars began to fade. Over the next month, my split nail healed completely. I even created a formulation for my hair, which became shinier and softer without the need for conditioner.

Thrilled with the results, I started sharing my blends with family and friends, who were just as excited about them as I was. What began as a personal journey toward healing and self-care has grown into MERE Oil Blends—a passion project that has blossomed into something I can share with you.

That’s how MERE Oil Blends was born. Each blend is crafted with love and a deep appreciation for the nourishing power of natural ingredients, bringing you a piece of that journey. MERE Oil Blends isn’t just about skincare—it’s about sharing a small ritual of calm and care that started on a sunny day in Portugal.
