KOA LIFE was founded by entrepreneurial identical twins, Kymber and Alexis McClay a.k.a. the Naven Twins. After years of suffering from problem skin such as adult acne and psoriasis that was not only painful but caused insecurity and dimed their glow, Kymber and Alexis set out to find a natural solution that actually worked. They decided to ditch chemical products that left harsh side effects and go green. The twins spent over a year developing natural nutrient-dense formulas with their labs that cured their skin issues and thus developed KOA LIFE. Kymber, a beauty guru and designer brought her wealth of product knowledge and design to KOA LIFE and as a biohacker, Alexis infused her health hacks into creating top formulas, utilizing the medicinal power of plants to create the natural skincare brand. They are now on a mission to help women get their glow back!

Malcolm Saunders’ mission is to deeply connect people to their food. Malcolm is a intuitive chef, speaker, and superfood expert who has worked in the field of food and nutrition for close to 20 years. He is the owner & creative visionary of The Light Cellar and the author of Elixir Life: Modern Nutrition Meets Ancient Herbal Wisdom, a guide to learning how to craft your own nourishing and healing beverages. His seminars and workshops have inspired thousands of individuals to recreate their relationship to food and reconnect to their intuition. Malcolm’s latest work illuminates and empowers people to create the life of their dreams, while making a difference in the world.

I began following Malcolm’s work when I discovered his expertise as an alchemist, and his passion for creating raw chocolate at his store, The Light Cellar. His passion for superfoods and superherbs was so inspiring, especially because his creations stem from a place of service, and a desire to teach and inspire others to live and eat in harmony with themselves and the planet we live on.
