Amazon Silk is the only cosmetic product in the world that contains oil of a recently discovered nut found solely in the Amazon cloud forest of Peru. The hero ingredient, Super Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia Huayllabambana), has been determined to be the single richest source of Omega 3s found anywhere in nature. It’s discovery has led to one of the more unique and potentially powerful stories in the world of cosmeceuticals. Omega 3s are a game changer for skincare. They improve skin barrier function, inhibit inflammation and skin “inflammaging”, reduce hyperpigmentation, attenuate dry skin and itchiness elicited by dermatitis, accelerate skin wound healing, and possibly even prevent skin cancer development.Cloudforest Peru has collaborated with a collective of farmers in a remote part of the cloud forest, the only place in the world that this rare Inca nut can grow. In addition to bringing this nut to light, Cloudforest Peru is dedicated to improving the rural community of Nueva Esperanza by sustainably harvesting the nut as well as through developing and supporting socially conscious programs that contribute to the improved living conditions for the community as well as for the Amazon cloud forest itself.
