RAHUA

Fabian Lliguin and Anna Ayers work alongside the Indigenous People of the Amazon to gather rainforest grown ingredients only from self-sustained forests. The promise is to never harvest non-regenerative rainforest ingredients.

RAHUA created a new cosmetic category that transcends organic and fair trade, called Symbiotic, which means ingredients are grown wild (not farmed) in the virgin rainforest, are hand processed through ancestral knowledge and the makers are paid an above fair-trade price to build economies and strengthen the position of the Indigenous People. By doing this, Rahua has helped them create a healthy self-sustained economy which encourages them to continue living in the Amazon utilizing their special traditions and ultimately being the guardians and protectors of the Rainforest.

Amazonian women have for eons depended on the oil from this tree nut to nurture and strengthen their hair. It fortifies weak and damaged hair, nourishes and maintains hair follicle and scalp health, and its super-fine molecules push color pigmentation deep into the hair shaft, greatly extending color endurance. Skin benefits from its generous supply of omega-9 fatty acids, which tone, calm, and smooth the skin and restore its natural moisture balance.

The non-toxic, clean formulas prevent pollution of our water ways.

The plastic product packaging used, #1 PET, is 100% recyclable; recycled worldwide and reused to make everything from park benches, designer carpets, clothing and lots more. The potent plant-derived, organic ingredients create high-performance, concentrated formulas which require less usage than synthetic formulas. Less consumption reduces package use dramatically.

Today, more than 500 families from the Quechua-Shuar, Achuar, and neighboring tribes work with Fabian and Anna to cultivate the rainforest grown ingredients used in the Rahua hair care and body care collections.

RAHUA is available at the following independent stores.
