Suzanne Norwitz, CEO and founder of Maya Chia Beauty, has built a skincare line and business that bridges the natural connection between commerce and philanthropy.
The all-natural, non-toxic beauty line is formulated with 100% natural, non-GMO Omega-3 Chia oil. The oil is extracted using the company’s unique supercritical extraction process, which ensures that the oil remains of the best, purest, most stable, effective, and potent quality.
Maya’s products are also free from harsh chemical sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, phthalates, and colorants. Additionally, due to their chia-based formula, they are packed with the highest concentration of omega fatty acids of any plant source.
However, the brand isn’t just focused on the holistic health benefits of the superfood; Maya Chia gives 10 per cent of its net sales to the Guatemalan Maya people, where chia has been a staple food for thousands of years.
“Having a brand that is authentic is critical to just feeling good about yourself and the product that you’re putting out, and consumers feel the same way,” says Norwitz. “Our brand is based on giving back to the Mayas, as well as turning out the best possible product there is that we can get a hold of.”
