Mawena

Mawena, meaning ‘I am seen as I am’ in West African dialect - is a black owned beauty company that prides itself on crafting efficacious skincare that melds ancestral knowledge with cutting-edge plant research. Founded by Helena Mendès following an extended trip to Mexico, this luxury range is built around the miraculous bark of mimosa tenuiflora — a natural active ingredient that has been utilised by Mayan women for centuries.

This organic, authentic beauty line is uncompromising on quality, performance and integrity; it’s cruelty-free, vegan and committed to giving back to the Mayan community which was its inspiration.
