Maya Chia
A Founder’s Vision—From Speechwriter to Skincare Trailblazer
Maya Chia was founded by Susanne Norwitz, a former political and Fortune 100 speechwriter whose passion for clean beauty began with stories her surgeon father shared of Guatemala’s Maya people (where she later became a sponsor of Adopt-a-Village) Unmotivated by marketing hype, she focused on results. Her devotion to performance and purity pushed her to create formulations that truly work using nutrient-dense chia oil—reinventing clean beauty one breakthrough at a time.
Supercritical Chia Oil + Clinical Botanical Innovation
Every Maya Chia formula is built around their exclusive supercritical extraction method, ensuring chia oil is both supremely potent and pure—oxidation-free, solvent-free, and rich in skin-loving omegas and antioxidants. But they don’t stop there: Maya Chia also leads the way with advanced actives like astaxanthin, azelaic acid, and tranexamic acid—pairing clean botanicals with high-performance science.
Sustainability & Ethical Beauty Practices
Maya Chia products are formulated and crafted in solar-powered laboratories in Charleston, SC—reflecting their dedication to sustainability and transparency. All products are Leaping Bunny–certified cruelty-free, with the majority being vegan-friendly. The brand gives back through support of Guatemalan communities via Adopt-a-Village.
