Frequently Asked Questions

Every Studio Line clip and comb is crafted from cellulose acetate — a plant-derived, biodegradable material made from natural cotton and wood pulp. Each piece is manufactured in France by a producer with over 100 years of heritage, and features a concealed brass-coated steel spring mechanism for a clean, seamless finish.

Each style has a distinct silhouette designed for different styling needs. Bambi is our signature claw clip with a chic, minimal profile — available in mini (5 cm pair), medium (8 cm), and large (10 cm). Phoebe is our smallest style, perfect for fine or short hair — available in mini (4 cm pair) and small (6 cm). Luna features a rounded silhouette for a softer hold — available in small (6 cm) and medium (9 cm). Frame has a structured, angular profile for a more architectural look — available in medium (9 cm).

The number in each product name is the clip's length in centimetres. As a general guide: 4–5 cm (mini) works best for fine or short hair and accent styling. 6 cm (small) suits fine to medium hair. 8–9 cm (medium) is ideal for medium-length hair. 10 cm (large) holds medium to long hair comfortably. When in doubt, size up — a slightly larger clip gives a more relaxed, effortless hold.

The Studio Line is available in two core colourways — Piano Black and Deep Amber. Piano Black is a rich, high-gloss black with natural depth. Deep Amber is a warm, translucent tortoiseshell with golden undertones.

We offer two combs. The Pocket 10 is a 10 cm travel comb in Piano Black — compact enough for a pocket or clutch. The Studio 16 is a full-sized 16 cm comb in Sequoia acetate, housed in a sustainably sourced black leather case. Both feature a wide-tooth design that detangles without breakage and naturally resists static for a smooth finish.

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove product buildup. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat — blow dryers held close or hot car dashboards can soften acetate. Store pieces separately to prevent scratching. With care, the natural lustre of the material will only deepen over time.

The Atelier Line is our premium, small-batch collection. Each clip is handmade using Italian Mazzucchelli acetate by Deliska-H — a heritage atelier in Tourrettes-sur-Loup in the south of France. The patterns are richer and more varied, the silhouettes are larger, and each piece is a sculptural object as much as a functional tool.

Mazzucchelli is an Italian manufacturer renowned for producing the world's finest cellulose acetate — the same material trusted by luxury eyewear and accessory houses. It is plant-derived, biodegradable, and known for its depth of colour, natural translucency, and one-of-a-kind patterning. No two pieces are exactly alike.

The Darcy 12 is available in Appaloosa (a speckled, organic pattern), Maple (a warm, layered amber), and Oyster (a soft, pearlescent neutral). The Juliet 10 is available in Maple, Oyster, and Tortoise (a classic, richly marbled pattern).

The Darcy 12 is our largest clip at 11.5 cm — designed for thick to very long hair that needs maximum hold. The Juliet 10 is 10 cm and offers a secure hold for medium to long hair with a slightly more refined, everyday profile. If you have thick or very long hair, Darcy is your piece. For most other hair types, Juliet is the perfect balance of presence and versatility.

A complete ritual tool for scalp stimulation and natural shine, produced by Koh-I-Noor in Milan — a family-run house with over a century of brush-making heritage. Each brush is shaped from certified biodegradable acetate and finished by hand. The kit includes a boar and nylon pin brush, a cleaning rake, and a drawstring bag. Available in Cream and Neptune.

Use the included cleaning rake to gently remove hair and buildup from the bristles once a week. For a deeper clean, rinse the bristles — not the acetate handle — under lukewarm water with a small amount of gentle shampoo, then lay the brush bristle-side down on a towel to air dry. Avoid submerging the handle.

Our formulas are clean by design. Every formula is free of parabens, sulfates (SLS/SLES), phthalates, mineral oil, and synthetic fragrance. Our serums and oils are also completely silicone-free. We focus on plant-derived actives, marine extracts, and cold-pressed botanical oils. Every formula is developed in Canada in small batches, with full ingredient transparency listed on each product page.

Our hair formulas have a 24-month shelf life when stored properly. Mahalo Herbal Tea has a longer shelf life of 36 months thanks to its dried botanical composition. Once opened, we recommend using formulas within 12 months for best performance. You can verify the production date and expiry of any bottle or tin by referencing the lot number on the packaging — if you'd like a precise expiration date, message us via live chat on our Contact page or email team@meeracapsule.com with your lot number and we'll confirm.

No. Meera Capsule is cruelty-free and vegan. None of our formulas are tested on animals at any stage of development, and none contain animal-derived ingredients. Our suppliers operate under the same standard.

Yes. All Meera Capsule formulas are sulfate-free and pH-balanced, which makes them safe for colour-treated, curly, coily, keratin-treated, and chemically relaxed hair. Our formulas are designed to support hair health across textures rather than strip or alter your existing colour or treatment.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Bathrooms with steady temperature and humidity are fine, but avoid leaving bottles on a sunny windowsill or in a hot car for extended periods — heat and UV exposure can degrade natural ingredients faster. Always close the cap fully after use.

Our hair care formulas are developed and manufactured in Canada in partnership with Toronto-based formulators. We work in small batches with cosmetic chemists who specialize in clean, performance-driven hair care — every formula is certified to Canadian Cosmetic Regulations under the Food and Drugs Act.

100% premium French linen, produced near the Belgian border in Northern France in the same historic textile district where the linen is woven. The high-density weave is durable from day one and softens beautifully with age and use.

The Marée Tote comes in four colourways — Sandbar (a warm, undyed neutral), Clay (an earthy terracotta tone), High Tide (a rich, coastal blue), and Kelp (a deep, organic green).

The Marée Tote is 38cm x 42cm, sized for daily essentials and market errands. It features a thick, reinforced strap for comfortable carry and a discreet interior logo for a quietly elevated aesthetic.

Spot clean with a damp cloth for minor marks. For a full wash, hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent and lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying. Linen naturally softens with use — your tote will develop a beautiful, lived-in drape over time.

Mahalo is a caffeine-free herbal blend developed in partnership with Certified Nutritional Practitioner Shelby Kroach, founder of Toronto-based Honest Leaf. It combines the grounding earthiness of nettle, the vibrant tartness of hibiscus, the gentle floral notes of chamomile, and a bright citrus finish of lemon. Named after the spirit of gratitude, Mahalo is designed as a daily ceremony — an invitation to pause.

No. Mahalo is completely caffeine-free, making it perfect for your evening ritual or any time of day.

Pour hot water (98°C) over two teaspoons of Mahalo. Let it steep for 5–7 minutes. As the water turns a deep, sunset pink, take three slow breaths and think of one thing you are grateful for today. Sip, smile, and repeat.
