HOT ! The Meringue Melt

Maya Chia The Meringue Melt Regenerating Skin-Softening Cleanser is a gentle yet performance-driven cream cleanser designed to smooth, brighten, and refresh the complexion. Powered by Maya Chia\'s Smart-Cleansing Technology, this innovative formula offers the experience of a treatment cleanser with the softness of a comforting cream, making it ideal for a wide range of skin types. The luxurious texture transforms daily cleansing into a skin-nourishing ritual that helps leave the skin feeling soft, calm, and visibly revitalized.

At the heart of the formula is a triple exfoliation complex—chemical, enzymatic, and physical—featuring mandelic acid, a five-fruit AHA blend, fermented sake extract, and ultra-fine rice powder microspheres. These ingredients work together to gently refine skin texture and tone. Hydrating and barrier-supporting actives like Pentavitin, chia seed oil, and sugarcane-derived squalane provide lasting moisture and comfort beyond rinse-off.

HOW TO USE IT

Apply to dry or damp skin and massage gently in circular motions for 30–60 seconds. Add water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly. Use daily, morning or evening. Ideal as the first step in a double cleanse or on its own.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

Through her lifelong fascination with the rituals of the Mayan culture, Susanne Norwitz, Founder of Maya Chia, discovered that chia seeds, a Mayan superfood, produced the most omega and nutritionally dense oil in nature, clinically proven to increase skin hydration, improve skin barrier function and reduce transepidermal water loss. Motivated to bring this Mayan gift to the masses, she delved into her own research to identify the purest method for extraction to ensure the integrity of the oil remains as close to its original plant-based form as possible. It is the patented, supercritical extraction method of chia seed oil that makes Maya Chia a star. Maya Chia’s mission is to support beautiful skin powered by nature’s most active botanicals. Each beauty product in the line boasts a super concentration of active ingredients that strike the perfect balance of omegas, antioxidants, and minerals to deeply moisturize and nourish the skin. Susanne now sources all of her chia seed oil from sustainable cooperatives in Central and South America and donates a portion of the company’s net profits to organizations that build farms and schools in Mayan communities.
