2 0 2 4?? marks a watershed milestone for our brand. 10 years ago we looked at a pile of chia seeds (much like the one pictured here) - one of the most nutrient-dense super foods - and we thought, "this has got to be incredible for the skin. And what's more, is someone making skincare from this and if not, why not?" It was a Eureka moment for us - and shortly thereafter Maya Chia was born.? ? We started in one room, with one product. The logo was rough, the packaging wasn't slick. It was far from perfect, but it was a start. ?And we loved it.? ? We didn't have a plan B. What we did have was passion and the refrain repeating in our heads, "if not now, when?" 10 years later, and thousands of hours on the bench (in the lab) formulating and over 20 products launched, we are reminded everyday how lucky we are to do what we love. As the hackneyed saying goes, when you love what you do you never have to work a day in your life.? ? When you launch a creative pursuit, there is never an assurance about how it will be received. It takes a leap of faith when you push your baby bird out of the nest. Sometimes you will fail - and that's okay. No, that's great. Embrace failure, because it means you're in the game and you're learning. And sometimes you will get it right too. I encourage anyone who has a passion project gnawing at them to take that risk in 2024. This is your year - after all, "if not now, when?"? ? ? #mayachia #cleanbeauty #cleanskincare #skincare #charleston
