Merle Norman Cosmetics is a cruelty-free cosmetics company that sells skin care products, makeup, and sun and body care products that are safe for vegans, vegetarians, and individuals with sensitive skin needs alike.  Merle Norman was founded in Santa Monica, CA., more than 75 years ago by Merle Nethercutt Norman.  Ms. Norman is credited with developing more than just cosmetics.  This innovative talent developed the concept “try before you buy”, and she invented the “before and after” makeover.  Today, Merle Norman cosmetics are sold through more than 2,000 Merle Norman franchises throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico.  The company is still family owned and operated and products are proudly made in the USA.

Merle Norman Products

Merle Norman sells a long list of skin care items such as eye cleansers, toners, moisturizers, and products for oil and blemish control.  The line also consists of booster cleansers, exfoliators and hydrators, as well as anti-aging products, lip care, and products for men.  An excellent representative of the entire Merle Norman product line is the booster hydrator “LUXIVA Changing Skin Treatment”.  This product is a top choice for individuals with sensitive skin, although it is effective on all skin types.

According to the official Merle Norman website, this moisturizing cream is specially formulated to address key skin care concerns such as sensitivity, dryness and resiliency of the skin, resulting from hormonal changes.  The treatment is made with vegan and vegetarian friendly ingredients such as soy, wild yam botanical extracts and clover.  These ingredients help hydrate and firm the skin.  The formula also includes all natural and cruelty free Pro-Retinol (vitamin A), SPF 15 and optical diffusers.  Pro-Retinol conditions the skin, while optical diffusers helps minimize flaws.  SPF 15 protects the skin from sun damage and another ingredient, menthol, has a cooling effect on skin.
