Ambiaty is a rare and precious flower found only in the rainforests of Madagascar, a small island off the African coast. The Malagasy people of Madagascar were the first to discover the treasured plant extract, which they reverently refer to as “The Flower of Youth.”
For centuries, they have been using the rare Ambiaty flower to keep their skin looking young and ageless.
Its healing effects are so powerful that they say it has magical properties.
For the first time ever, this cherished plant extract with amazing, age-defying properties is available to you in its purest form, exclusively in RAW Natural Beauty skincare products.
After years of research, RAWSkincare has infused highly concentrated Ambiaty extract in our products, in order to bring you the
most powerful organic skincare line available today.
Precious and extremely rare, the Ambiaty plant (Vernonia appendiculata) blooms in September as the air warms and rain drenches the earth. It is difficult to reach due to its limited availability in remote areas of the Madagascar rainforest.
Once the Ambiaty is harvested, it goes through an extensive distillation process to ensure optimum purity and potency. Only then is it delicately blended in with the other exotic ingredients that make
RAWSkincare products
powerfully effective and
purely natural.
One of the most precious ingredients in the eco-diverse Amazonian Rainforest, Brazilian Acai Extract is a powerhouse moisturizing antioxidant packed with more skin-healthy antioxidants than any other fruit on Earth. In addition to providing 10 times the antioxidant power of red grapes, Acai is rich in essential fatty acids, Omega 3, Omega 6, Omega 9, phytosterols and Viamin C.
Equally important, more than 3,000 families in the Amazonian basin make their livelihood from the cultivation of Acai, and RAWSkincare’s Acai supplier is undertaking an ambitious Biodiversity Enhancement Program.
Argan fruit takes up to two years to ripen and is collected through a meticulous process that protects the trees.
Harvested from trees grown on mineral-rich Moroccan soil, Argan Extract provides essential fatty acids that give raw skincare products antioxidant properties.
Argan trees yield a fruit with unmatched restorative properties, helping to soften skin and protect it from environmental damage. The active molecules are extracted by cold pressing to ensure that the Argan retains its organic structures.
Supporting RAWSkincare’s belief that ecological farming, fair trade and sustainability can and should play a major role in the development of new ingredients, Argan Extract is harvested solely by an accredited all-women cooperative network in Morocco’s Berber region.
The farming cooperative that produces our Argan extract is a source of hope for Morocco’s future. Here, the women who care for the Argan trees are taking it upon themselves to create literacy programs and helping to save the Argan forest through re-forestation programs.
When you see pictures and film of Brazilian natives lounging on the beach, you cannot help but notice how beautiful, tanned and young the women look. Now,
RAWSkincare has unlocked the closely guarded secret to the native beauty of Brazilian women, who depend on a natural resource for skincare — the rainforest botanical known as Andiroba.
This certified organic moisturizing emollient hydrates, soothes and calms sensitive skin.
It also is a critical source of income for the people of Marajo Island. Blessed with abundant fish during the dry season, the population suffers during the rainy season, when the fish migrate elsewhere. But it is also during the rainy season that the Andiroba tree deposits its water-born seeds, which are carried downriver and wash up on the beaches of Marajo.
For centuries, the people have collected the seeds, but only for their own use. Today, RAWSkincare purchases the seeds, providing the people with a much-needed alternative income source.
