All of our oils and butters from the Amazon Rainforest are 100% pure and natural and are all cold pressed, unrefined, and sustainably wild harvested - grown naturally in the forest. No preservatives, additives, nor any other chemical substances are added, preserving all of the bioactive properties of the plant. With more than 80 riverside communities collecting the seeds from the forest and the river beaches, our supplier in Belem buys directly from these communities, thus cutting out any middle man, and enabling fair and better wages to the people who collect and provide these natural products for us.
