Malaya Botanicals

Hey Malaya fam! Just a little reminder!

If you’ve been meaning to restock your Malaya favorites, now’s the time!

As we shared last week, we’re making some changes to our product line because of the new h**p regulations. That means some of our original formulas will be going away, some will be reformulated, and a few may not be coming back.

So if there’s a Malaya product you absolutely love, don’t wait until it’s gone!

🌿 November 4 — Last day to shop our eligible original formulas containing THC online.

🌿 December 11 — Last day to grab what’s left at our Alameda shop, while supplies last.

We’re excited about what’s next for Malaya, but we’re also going to miss some of these original formulas that have been with us since the beginning!

And a big THANK YOU to everyone who’s already placed an order, stopped by the shop, shared our posts or sent us some love. We really appreciate you!

We’re putting our hearts back into Malaya and could really use your support as we make this transition.

Come visit us, stock up, bring a friend, or just stop by to say hello. We’d love to see you!

Maraming salamat for continuing to support our little business! 💚

Pia, Rolo & the Malaya team

Malaya is entering a new chapter

We know it’s been quiet here.

For the past six months, we poured so much of our time, energy and resources into bringing to life. We’re incredibly proud of what we created, but it also meant that Malaya didn’t receive the attention and care that a small business needs.

Now we’re bringing our focus home and honestly, we need your support more than ever.

With h**p regulations and industry policies changing, our product collection is evolving too.

🌿 We’re phasing out products containing detectable THC.

🌿 Our remaining original Malaya formulas containing THC that are eligible for sale will be available online through November 4 and inside our Alameda shop through December 11, while supplies last.

🌿 We’re reformulating select Malaya favorites with cannabinoid ingredients independently tested as non-detectable for THC.

🌿 Some products will return in a new form, while others may be retired.

🌿 We’re expanding our botanical body care, aromatherapy, magnesium, candles, scent rituals and everyday wellness offerings.

Malaya is also growing beyond the shelf.

Our Malaya space is evolving into a home for rotating wellness practitioners, pop-up modalities, restorative experiences and meaningful ways to gather and reconnect.

Retail • Ritual • Community • Experiences

Bigger events, collaborations and new projects are also on the horizon, all rooted in culture, care and community.

If an original Malaya product has been part of your wellness ritual, this is the time to replenish it. Every purchase, shop visit, shared post and word-of-mouth recommendation helps us carry Malaya into its next chapter.

We’ve missed you. Thank you for continuing to believe in what we’re building 💚

Small Business Mixer at Malaya!

Building a business can be one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever do… and one of the loneliest.

Behind every storefront, service, side hustle, and startup is someone taking risks, figuring things out as they go, and hoping they’re not the only one trying to make it all work.

That’s why we’re gathering.

Join us for an evening of connection, conversation, and community with other entrepreneurs, creatives, founders, and professionals from across the Bay Area.

We’ll also be sitting down with an incredible panel of AAPI women entrepreneurs for an honest conversation about building businesses on our own terms, navigating challenges, finding our voice, and creating meaningful impact along the way.

Real people. Real stories. Real community.

And of course, delicious bites from Fely’s Cuisine. ❤️
