About

At the heart of MI ELEMÉNTE is Melinda - an herbalist with over 15 years of devotion to plant-based healing and a former Vice President of Marketing who helped build celebrated hospitality and lifestyle brands across the globe.

Her journey into natural skincare began long before her corporate career as a young girl crafting body scrubs and oils by hand, gifting them to friends and family each holiday season. The joy and glowing feedback she received planted a seed. Though she put her dream on hold to focus on a demanding career, she never let go of her passion. Years later, she decided to follow her heart and pursue her calling with intention and purpose.

Melinda deepened her practice by studying herbalism in Costa Rica under Sarah Wu, the renowned herbalist featured in Down to Earth with Zac Efron. Combining her creative background and herbal education, she founded MI ELEMÉNTE, a brand rooted in regenerative herbalism, sustainability, and conscious self-care.

For Melinda, skincare is more than a routine, it’s a sacred ritual that nurtures the body, calms the spirit, and reconnects us to nature. Through MI ELEMÉNTE, she shares her recipes, knowledge, and passion to inspire others to embrace beauty as a mindful, healing experience.
