Born from wild Chilean hillsides, our products connect land, cultivator, and formulation as one. We aim to trace as much as possible: which slopes, which harvest, which hands. Full transparency from origin to bottle, because you deserve to know what's in your skincare and who made it possible.
Maiwe is built on relationships — with the harvesters, with the land, and with the people who find relief in our products.
YEARLY RITUAL
Every autumn, rural communities in the south of Chile get aligned and start harvesting the rosehips. The harvest period takes about 6 weeks, and is mostly done by seasonal laborers that also harvest blueberries during summer, apples and even mushrooms later on!
But there is something special about the rosehips, they’ve told me. It’s the one fruit they earn most with, and the timing of the harvest is also special. It’s when their children return to school, and life tends to be extra expensive for a few weeks. It’s a valuable source of extra income, during a time of the year where this is extra wanted.
