The MENEA Story
My personal experience with my second child, who had extremely dry and irritated skin from birth, was the inspiration for creating this company. As a chemical professional, I was shocked to discover the toxic ingredients in baby products. I decided to turn to natural products and explore skin care traditions with vegetable oils from the Comoros Islands, my home country. I started working on this entrepreneurial project at the end of 2020, with the goal of bringing natural and health conscious body care products for infants and the whole family, while sharing the cultural richness of the Comoros archipelago for skin care.
Mission
To contribute to improving the health of the skin from the youngest age with healthy, natural products whose ingredients are all of the highest quality.
Our values
HEALTH
Menea is committed to respecting the skin health of children and all family members. Menea offers high quality products with 100% natural ingredients.
FAMILY
Everything starts from the benevolence, from the fact that we wanted to take care of our family. The transmission from generation to generation of the tradition of skin care with natural oils coming from the Comoros Islands and the African continent allows us to make the most of it.
INTEGRITY
Menea wants to comply with the various standards in force to ensure a good quality of the products and to respect the health of the users. Menea promotes responsible trade by directly supporting the producers of raw materials.

Social and environmental impact
As a Quebec-based personal care company, environmental impact is crucial. We reduce the production of single-use containers and use recyclable and reusable containers. Our ingredients are natural, vegetal and biodegradable, therefore without impact on the environment. We support hundreds of families by purchasing organic shea butter from a cooperative in Burkina Faso and Ylang Ylang essential oil from Bioylang in the Comoro Islands. Our products are made in Quebec to support the local economy and to help people suffering from skin problems to find serenity. Remember that the skin is the largest organ of the human body, representing 16% of the total weight.
