Your Skin Nourishing Ally
Known and revered as the Queen of the Forest, the Castanha (or Brazil nut) is found deep in the forests of the Amazon. Endlessly rich in benefits, both medicinal and beautifying, Castanha produces an oil that deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin for intense hydration.
Castanha oil is extremely rich in Omega 6 and 9, which provides nourishment down to the skin's deepest layers.
One of the main sources of protein in Amazonian communities. With their own hands, Amazonian people squeeze the castanhas, extracting a white milk that nourishes and leaves their hands very soft.
Castanha milk produces a delicately yellow, sweet oil with nourishing, lubricating, and moisturizing properties.
It leaves the skin with a delicate scent.
How Castanha Cares For The Planet
Harvested by local Amazonian communities, the Castanha chestnuts are washed and separated manually one by one, before the raw oil extraction process. This harvest contributes to transforming the lives of over 400 families and ensures the longevity of the forest for generations to come.
