We’re holding space with care 💚

Malaya means freedom - and that meaning feels especially present in this moment.

In solidarity with Minnesota and the National Day of Action, we stand with immigrant communities and all those calling for dignity, accountability, and care. As immigrants ourselves, this is not abstract for us. It’s personal. It’s lived. It’s woven into why Malaya exists at all.

We know that participation doesn’t look the same for everyone. Access, safety, capacity, and resources are real — and every form of care, resistance, and solidarity matters.

As a small, family-run business, fully closing isn’t financially possible for us. While our doors will be open during regular hours, this is not business as usual. Our intention is to offer warmth, rest, and connection.

If you’re preparing to protest and need space to make signs or art, message us and we’ll do our best to hold space. For those out in the streets, we’ll be offering free coffee, tea, and light snacks.

There are many ways to show up - resting, learning, donating, protesting, having hard conversations, or simply being together.

Our space remains open with intention.
Please be safe. Take care of one another.
We see you.

With love and solidarity,
Pia, Rolo and the whole Malaya Team

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Not just his words, but his courage to love in times that felt unbearably dark.

In moments like these, when the world feels heavy and uncertain, his reminder feels especially close:

WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE - to lead with hate or to lead with love.

At Malaya, we believe healing is an act of resistance. Community is medicine.
And choosing compassion, even when it’s hard, is how we keep moving forward together.

Today, and every day,
we choose light.
We choose care.
We choose each other. 💚

Rooted Through It All 💚 | 2025 Reflection

As 2025 came to a close, we felt deep gratitude for everything that unfolded at Malaya Botanicals & Malaya Collective. It was a full year—rooted in growth, creativity, wellness, and community.

From everyday rituals at Malaya Botanicals to Malaya Collective blossoming into a true community hub, the year was shaped by workshops, wellness classes, gatherings, night markets, and meaningful moments of connection.

Through the challenges and the joy, one thing remained clear: the power of community care. Every visit, class, collaboration, and kind word mattered more than you know.

To everyone who showed up, supported, taught, shared, and grew with us—thank you. What we built together in 2025 is rooted in care, culture, and connection.

Stepping into 2026 with deep gratitude and intention 🌱

With love,
Pia and Rolo

Loving someone who runs a small business means loving the unseen too 🥰

The late nights, the quiet moments, the mental load, the constant decision-making, the weight of caring deeply - not just about the work, but about the people, the community, and the dream itself.

At Malaya, we see how much heart it takes to build something with purpose. We honor our families and loved ones who hold space, offer patience, and love us through the busy seasons and the heavy ones.

This is your reminder: it’s not distance, it’s devotion. It’s not intensity, it’s care. And it’s not just a business - it’s a calling.

Thank you for loving us while we build 💚

Merry Christmas, Malaya family 🎄

We just want to say thank you—from the bottom of our hearts! Thank you for choosing Malaya, for supporting this little space and the dream behind it, for showing up to shop small, attend our events, and be in community with us. This year has been heavy in ways we don’t always share, and your love, encouragement, and presence truly carried us more than you know.

We hope today gives you permission to slow down, to rest deeply, to be surrounded by people who feel like home. May your day be filled with warmth, good food, laughter, and moments that feel grounding and real.

We are endlessly grateful for you and for this community we’re building together.

From our heart to yours—Merry Christmas!
— Pia, Rolo and the Malaya Team 💚

Julie stopped by Malaya Botanicals, picked out some of her favorites as gifts for people she loves, and took the time to share a video highlighting each piece she chose. Seeing our products through your eyes—how you gift them, why they resonate—means more than we can say 🎄

Thank you, Julie, for supporting small, intentional businesses and for spreading the Malaya love. This is truly why we do what we do 💚

Discover Malaya, Discover Wellness..

Founder and CEO of Malaya Botanicals, Pia T. Barton, embarked on a personal journey to create natural products to relieve her debilitating fibromyalgia and painful 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 helped her pain and changed her life. This new discovery led her to using CBD for other uses including skincare and dealing with stress and anxiety. Inspired by this journey resulted in the creation of CBD infused products that brings pain relief, amazing healing, and an everyday holistic approach to discovering wellness.

Malaya Botanicals is a CBD company created by women for women. 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.
