at its heart, Dearist is an exercise in community building for a diverse set of people made whole by similar philosophies. people who care as much about quality products as they do about carefully considered knowledge.
While our skin and hair care formulations are always geared towards healing and hydration, our teaching and consultancy services aims to ask and answer questions that are more than just skin deep. We cater to a community that seeks more holistic answers for the mind and soul, which is why our approach to knowledge draws from both past wisdom and contemporary science, often integrating other influences you might not have seen placed together.
about Meher Jadwani
With a grandfather who owned a mithai shop & a nutritionist mother who designs the healthiest meal plans, Meher comes from a legacy at odds that is tied together only by a thick thread of love for building transparent communities, & the desire to weave new worlds out of their passions.
A graduate of Babson University, Jadwani had the spirit of can-do instilled in her early on, which signposted her career in marketing for independent & large-scale wellness brands.
She is a Certified Organic Skincare Formulator & Certified Health Coach who conducts courses and designs curricula that straddle the spaces between contemporary nutritional science and culturally-rooted traditions that draw from past wisdom.
This diverse skill-set finds her settled somewhere between a knowledge seeker, an ayurvedic enthusiast, & awellness champion. but one that’s driven by her singular philosophy to create beauty narratives that are ‘inside-out.’ with Dearist, she channels all of this towards her long-term vision of building a wellness community that dives beyond what’s skin deep. She hopes to create and inhabit spaces through the brand, which best reflect the qualities that ground her.
Curiosity, Transparency, Balance, & Good intent - one day living far away from the concrete jungle!
Dearist Manifesto
Discovery
Our team is always geared towards the discovery of the highest possible quality of all ingredients and products, as well as new knowledge in the world of wellness that can improve the quality of your lives.
We do this in the hope of providing you with everything you need to develop good habits and see valuable results.
Excellence
When you aspire towards higher standards of living, a key factor for its growth is to let that spirit of excellence overflow into all the individuals and communities we interact with. When we learn about what works best and what doesn't, rest assured we will pass this along to you. Excellence is better when shared.
Accessibility
We believe that the world of beauty and self-care has been fuelled by exclusivity for too long. In contrast, we are constantly building a wider range of products and consultancy-based solutions that include a broad scope of both price points as well as interests.
Our products, consultancy, and community are open to anybody who wants to learn. This stems from the belief that there is always more than enough of everything to go around.
Respect
We never push an output limit just to match some external pace or pressure. Holistic well-being is a principle we apply to all aspects of our brand, and we respect the time and rest it sometimes takes to really get things right.
As such, we pledge not to rush to share products or information with you without doing our due diligence first.
Intent
The driving force for our brand is a spirit of curiosity and positive intent that keeps us steady on a path towards improving the world of wellness we inhabit.
We try to be as sure as we can about whatever we do, but if mistakes are made, we'll be the first to acknowledge and fix them.
Simplicity
We try to maintain an approach that strikes at the heart of things—one that tells it like it is, or shows it like it is, both with respect to language and style.
You'll notice it in all our communication across platforms and in person
Transparency
We believe in the power of both transparency and trust when it comes to everything we offer. Most vitally, this includes communication with our customers.
For example: If a product has certain necessary preservatives, you can trust us to tell you if they are there, and why.
