About Maya
Maya is Square Toiletries' natural wellness brand for hair and skin, built on fixed oils and herbal preparations and sold on the argument that Bangladesh's hot, humid, polluted conditions demand particular care that synthetic formulations do not provide. Its stated position is that everyone is beautiful in their own way, which is a notably different pitch from the tone-correction and brightening claims that most of the South Asian beauty market is sold on, including elsewhere in this company's own portfolio.
