About MAWENA
Mawena, the French luxury cosmetics brand, is a premium beauty label inspired by ancestral beauty rituals. Founded by Helena Mendès, Mawena's journey began unexpectedly. With a background in international relations and political sciences, Helena had no initial intention of entering the beauty industry. However, her love for travel led her to a transformative experience in Mexico in 2013. During her visit, she lived with a Mayan women's community, who introduced her to their ancient beauty routines.
Back in France, Helena was determined to share these Mayan beauty secrets with the world. Thus, Mawena was born—a brand that celebrates ancestral rituals from the African, Asian, and South American continents. Mawena's products are 100% natural, vegan, organic, and ethical. More than just a luxury brand, Mawena operates on an equitable basis, supporting the Maya female community by donating €2 from each sale to their cooperative.
Let's explore Mawena's exquisite range of skincare products:
