GYV Mesoamerican Beauty
(verb \ˆgiv\)
More than just giving. More than a verb. More than an acronym.
GYV believes in supporting organizations who are nurturing and improving the communities that inspire them. We want our brand to inspire people to GYV love to the people who feel forgotten, hope to those who are too afraid to dream, and freedom to those who feel confined by their circumstances.

“I was thrilled to see a company that was giving so much hope back to their community. After falling in love with GYV’s candles and hand creams, Horacio, founder of GYV, approached me about collaborating on a unique candle and fragrance of my own. With all proceeds going towards an organization of my choosing, I couldn’t turn it down.
This whole experience has been such a beautiful journey, from helping pick each element of the fragrance to the design of the label – I’m so honored that GYV trusted me to collaborate with and so thankful that I could be a part of GYVing back hope to so many through #YouAreEssential.”

It is presented in a beautiful 9oz ceramic jar, utilizing GYV’s proprietary wax blend of coconut, corn, and pumpkin oils.
