Mayah Fills the Void of a Body Care Brand that Centers and Celebrates Motherhood

• Mayah is a bodycare brand designed specifically for mothers in all stages of their motherhood journey
• Identifying a major gap in the beauty and health space for mothers, founders Jessica Smith and Rebecca Heywood created the Mayah brand that blends substance and joy in every touchpoint

At a time when the likes of Rhianna are reclaiming the power of pregnancy and shifting the narrative around motherhood, it’s high-time the health and beauty space did the same. Frankly, it’s long overdue.

Mothers and business partners Jessica Smith and Rebecca Heywood thought so, at least, and put their heads together to do something about it, launching a line of body care products specifically for mothers called Mayah. The pair created the brand and products they wished to see in the world; their firsthand experience revealed a wildly underserved demographic and motivated them to redefine an entire category. Mayah asks the question: What if women, at all stages of their motherhood journeys, were treated like fully realized, nuanced, strong, and confident people? What a concept!
