The beauty industry is inherently one of self-indulgence. But don't get it twisted—we mean that as anything other than a bad thing.
It seems like many products these days come with a laundry list of ingredients you’d need a P.h.D. in chemistry to even have a chance at deciphering. Amidst the vast selection of products and potions currently on the market, it can be easy to get lost in the shuffle.
What if we told you there was a way to strip down the jumbled jargon with straightforward, easy-to-understand, natural ingredients? Well, that’s precisely what Vancouver-based skincare company, MEEKU, seeks to do.
MEEKU utilizes fresh fruit and vegetable juices in its skincare to provide the skin with a luxurious, vitamin-rich revival, sourcing its natural ingredients locally to promote sustainability.
However, while these ingredients are fresh, you don’t have to worry about them spoiling quickly. Unlike the fruit and veg you pick up from your local grocery store, you don’t need to dedicate space in your refrigerator to ensure these items are preserved. MEEKU products have a two-year shelf life. So, you can easily store them where you keep the rest of your self-care products.
The company offers a diverse scope of products, ranging from eye creams, serums, face masks, and toners and astringents to sugar scrubs, shower gel, bar soap, body lotion and more–all comprising entirely natural, cruelty-free ingredients.
The brand’s founder, Shawn Ryan Bruno, has 25 years of experience formulating skin care, using fresh produce ingredients in the formulas to create clean, natural, vegan products handcrafted for high-quality. On top of making products available online, Bruno has also been operating a retail store within the Metrotown Mall in Burnaby for the past year and a half.
“As a teenager, I suffered with horrible acne and eczema,” Bruno explains. Due to this, skincare became very important, especially during those younger years. Following endless attempts to combat his conditions, Bruno decided to set out on a natural path to help heal himself.
At age 15, Bruno met a friend from India named MEEKU, who taught him how to incorporate fresh juices from fruits and vegetables into his skin care. Bruno’s skin transformed quickly, looking healthier than it had for many years.
This realization led Bruno to pursue and promote the natural path toward skincare, doing wonders for his self-confidence and eventually inspiring him to begin his company. He credits Meeku for changing his life, which is why he named his company after his friend.
With this dedication to detail, sustainability, and quality, you might think these products must come with a luxury label and price. Not so!
In fact, MEEKU will be hosted as an exclusive premier for Season 17 of Dragon's Den on September 14, 2022, at 10 a.m. EST on their web pitches, where Bruno will explain just how accessible, beneficial and easy to use the MEEKU product line is.
