The Castanha tree, known as the “Queen of the Forest” is one of the oldest trees in the Amazon forest. It provides one of the main sources of protein for the Amazonian communities.  We are talking about one of the oldest trees in the Amazon, which can live for over 500 years. Their fruit is like a capsule that holds a true treasure: dozens of castanha nuts that provide protein for consumption and a powerful, nourishing oil for the skin.

Although the extraction process is manual, the oil is rich in benefits such as omega 6 and omega 9. 

How Castanha oil acts

When applied to the skin, nourishing castanha oil penetrates quickly, stimulating the production of structuring proteins down to the deepest layers. As a result, it unifies the skin's texture, improves elasticity and provides firmness. 

Inspired by the forest people, Ekos created a complete bath & body care line with castanha oil. With a creamy and velvety texture and a pleasant fragrance, Ekos Castanha products reveal the richness of Amazonian biodiversity while helping to preserve the tradition of harvesting, generating even greater value for this species of tree.
