About Our Sources
Rainforest Chica is proud to offer just the best quality butters and oils from the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest. Our suppliers work only with non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and support local and indigenous communities that do the wild harvesting. These communities set their prices depending on how the harvesting season went and are paid; there is no bartering, as this practice is usually favorable to the buying party.
My suppliers do not do animal testing, do not support in any way the deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest, and/or abusive work practices. They are just awesome!
How are we helping the Rainforest?
The plants used for our oils and butters grow in the wild, and they are not harmed by the harvesting of their fruits and seeds.
They work with many producers from various areas of the forest, which increases our costs a little, but we always search for the best and most ethical producers we can find for each product. We also like the idea of spreading the money to different areas of the forest.
How are we helping the indigenous and local communities?
Our products are harvested by local people who are being fairly paid and made by small companies that are as concerned with social and environmental responsibility as we are.
