Our Story
Pia T. Barton
Founder and CEO of Malaya Botanicals, Pia T. Barton, embarked on a personal journey to curate natural products to relieve her debilitating back and neck pain. Born in the Philippines, raised in San Leandro, CA, and now living in San Francisco, Pia’s personal journey began after an injury as a triathlete.
Pia suffered for many years and tried all known and unknown physician prescriptions available to avoid undergoing surgery. After the realization of wanting a more natural remedy, she went through a journey to find the perfect solution.
Through her passion, research, and resilience, Pia discovered CBD that changed her life. This new discovery led her to using CBD for other uses including skincare and self care. Inspired by this journey resulted in the creation of CBD infused products to support a better quality of life.
Malaya Botanicals is woman owned and family operated CBD Wellness and Beauty Company on a mission to de-stigmatize cannabis and empower women of color to take charge of their health and healing. Through its products, Pia hopes to aspire women to practice self-care on a regular basis and deal with their problems head on with the most simple and easy solutions that Malaya Botanicals can offer. With the help of the products, women will have the ability to take care of themselves in the most convenient way possible, while still staying true to their daily lifestyle.
