Beauty Boss Samantha and Ava are co-founders of Merci Life Co. As new moms, both of them were experiencing postpartum hair loss and wanted to create products that targeted real concerns. They created a curated mix of antioxidant-rich, collagen-boosting nutrients and bioavailable keratin to build the best complexion, strong nails, and radiant hair.

Can you tell us a bit about yourselves, and why you started Merci?
Samantha and I are the co-founders of Merci Life Co, we are both nutrition experts. I am a Registered Dietitian and Samantha has a Master’s Degree in Clinical Nutrition. We have worked in the supplement industry for many years and have seen so many supplements out of the market that over promise and frankly just do not provide the results they promise. We started mixing things together on our own and trying things out. We were both new moms at the time and were experiencing post-partum hair loss. That is what inspired our first product bare beauty. Truly targeting beauty from within with a hair skin and nails formula backed by science providing real results. We noticed such a big difference and we started sharing lab samples with our friends and family. They loved it too! We created Merci Life Company to provide great products, without all the fillers that target real concerns we also wanted a fun, pleasant experience so we made powdered stick packs to put in water that tastes amazing without any sugar or unnecessary ingredients. Our customers actually look forward to taking it versus the not-so-great pill experience!
Can you tell us a bit more about the ingredients in your products and the science behind it helping promote collagen production?
We use one-of-a-kind keratin called DFK glow.
DFK GLOW triggers the body to produce collagen IV. It helps support stronger, thicker hair and reduces wrinkle appearance – targeting those layers beneath the skin’s surface. DFK GLOW is rich in cysteine, an amino acid that’s key to reinforcing the protein structure of nails, reducing breaking and keeping them strong. DFK GLOW also boosts glutathione synthesis, the body’s master antioxidant, supporting protective responses to inflammation and external damage.*
We also support this ingredient by adding in Hyaluronic acid, to help hydrate the hair, skin, and nails from within, biotin, for hair and nail strength and growth, and an antioxidant superfruit blend to help support the body’s anti-inflammatory response and protect again signs of skin aging.

What age do you recommend your products for, and how often should one take them?
Really a wide age range here, but those who are starting to be more concerned about dry brittle hair, skin, and nails. We notice most are customers are 25 -55. Bare Beauty comes in a 30-day supply container and can be enjoyed every day.
What does it mean to be a #beautyboss?
To us being a beauty boss is feeling confident in your own skin. It is not only about how your look on the outside it is how you feel on the inside and the confidence you carry that with radiate on the outside.
