How It Started

My name is Mylia, and before becoming a founder, I was just another woman hiding her underarms in every photo.Dark spots on my inner thighs, uneven tone on my face, shaving marks that never faded — I lived all of it. I bought every “brightening” product I could find: turmeric soaps, lemon DIY masks, viral creams. Some did nothing. Others irritated my skin so badly I stopped wearing sleeveless tops altogether.I didn’t create this brand to follow a trend.I created it because I was tired of feeling embarrassed in my own body.

The Moment Everything Changed

One day, after yet another product burned my skin, I decided I was done gambling with my health.I started studying the ingredients dermatologists actually recommend for hyperpigmentation: kojic acid, niacinamide, azelaic acid, glycolic acid, turmeric.And I realised something simple but life-changing:The products that truly work aren’t the loudest ones — they’re the ones with the right actives, at the right strength, designed for melanin-rich skin.But no brand was giving us that… especially not for the body.

Creating Solutions I Needed but Couldn’t Find

I created my own formulas because I refused to settle anymore.I worked with chemists to develop clean, safe, high-performance actives that fade dark spots without bleaching, irritating, or damaging the skin barrier.Every product started with a question I asked myself:“Would I trust this on my own skin? Would I use it every day?”If the answer wasn’t yes, it didn’t leave the lab.I tested everything on real women like me — women who were tired of hiding, tired of wasting money, and ready for something that finally respects melanin.

Why I Built Mylia

I built Mylia because no woman should have to feel ashamed of her skin.Not for shaving marks.Not for hormonal spots.Not for dark underarms or inner thighs.I wanted to create products that give us back something deeper than an even tone: the confidence to wear what we want, to move freely, to live without hiding.Today, Mylia is more than a brand.It’s my promise that safe, effective, real results exist — and that your skin deserves better than quick fixes and false hope.
