Collection: Maya Chia

Maya Chia was founded by Susanne Norwitz, whose lifelong fascination with the rituals and wisdom of the Mayan culture led her to discover the incredible power of chia seeds. Revered by the Maya as a superfood, chia seeds produce the most omega and nutritionally dense oil in nature—clinically proven to improve skin hydration, enhance the skin barrier, and reduce water loss.

Driven by the desire to bring this botanical gift to the world, Susanne embarked on a journey to identify the purest method of extracting chia oil, ensuring that its potency and integrity remained as close to the plant’s original form as possible. This led to the development of Maya Chia’s signature supercritical extraction method, a patented, oxygen-free, solvent-free process that creates the purest, most stable, and most potent chia seed oil available today.

Maya Chia’s mission is simple: to support beautiful skin and hair through nature’s most active botanicals. Every product in the line is formulated with a super-concentration of omegas, antioxidants, and minerals, carefully balanced to deeply nourish, hydrate, and restore.

In addition to her commitment to clean beauty, Susanne sources all of her chia seed oil from sustainable cooperatives in Central and South America, and she proudly donates a portion of the company’s net profits to organizations that support farms and schools in Mayan communities.

Maya Chia is more than skincare—it's a tribute to the wisdom of the past, a celebration of nature’s healing power, and a commitment to sustainability, integrity, and community.
