Welcome to our sustainable fragrance series Farm Fresh, where we explore the eco-conscious ingredients used in ourย CLEAN RESERVE fragrances and share how we give back to our farmers. In addition to supporting the farmers and their communities, weโre committed to crafting products with the safest ingredients, avoiding anything that may be potentially linked to health or environmental issues (see ourย No-To list).
First, itโs important to truly understand what โsustainableโ means.
Hereโs how we define it:ย
-
Responsibly sourced and doesnโt deplete the planetโs natural resources.
-
Gives back to the farmers and their communities.
-
Maintains an eco-conscious life cycle, from green manufacturing to recyclable packaging.
Meet Buriti Oil
Buriti Oil is extracted from the fruits of the moriche palm tree, a plant that grows in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. Buriti Oil is a key moisturizing ingredient in our vegan skincare staples CLEAN RESERVE Buriti Balancing Cleanser and Buriti Soothing Moisturizer as it helps to replenish moisture, prevent further hydration loss, and strengthen the skin barrier.
To create these instant skincare favorites, we sustainably-sourced Buriti Oil from Brazil. The partnerships weโve established there help improve the lives of the farmers and their communities who responsibly cultivate and harvest this ingredient.
