Support, not correction Science-backed Feminist by design No fragrance, no shame Where you come first
From Giana

Care that understands the body

For decades, women have been handed two options: aggressively cleanse with products built on shame narratives, or do nothing at all. Neither ever felt right.

As a biomedical engineer and the founder of With Meraki Co., I created the Barrier Bar to live in the space no one was willing to occupy: respectful, science-backed cleansing that supports the vulva without pathologizing it.

This isn't a treatment. It isn't a cure. It is simply a better way to cleanse, rooted in physiology, not fear.

"
I grew up surrounded by rituals of care. Ones that were never about fixing. Just being.

FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY

Syrian-Inspired Artwork Included With Your Order

In collaboration with Syrian artist Farah Alimi, we created more than artwork. We created a visual story rooted in softness, ritual, femininity, and care. Inspired by the cultural beauty woven throughout Syrian tradition, this limited-edition piece was designed to reflect the heart behind Barrier Bar: reclaiming intimate care as something rooted in respect, not shame. Finished with hand-placed charms and gold-painted edges, each piece was created to be kept, displayed, and remembered.

The formulation

Every ingredient earned its place

No filler. No fragrance. No extras added to impress. A lean, intentional formula built around the biology it serves.

Primary Cleanser
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

Ultra-mild, soap-free surfactant. Cleans effectively without disrupting the vulvar skin barrier.

Rinse Performance
Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate

Improves glide and rinseability. Ensures no residue in sensitive vulvar folds.

Barrier Support
Ceramide NP & Ceramide AP

Naturally found in healthy skin. Supports barrier integrity during cleansing and reduces post-wash dryness.

Structural Emollients
Shea Butter & Olive Oil

Conservative levels to support bar structure and counteract dryness, while still rinsing clean.

Postbiotic Ferments
Lactobacillus, Rice & Oat Ferment Filtrates

Chosen to align with the skin's natural microbiome ecosystem, not disrupt it.

pH Alignment
Citric Acid

Adjusts pH to align with healthy vulvar skin, not vaginal pH. An important, often misunderstood distinction.
