FAIR TRADE STORYOur Buriti Oil is sourced from the Peruvian Amazon where the fruit of the buriti tree is wild-harvested. The Mauritia Flexosa tree can be found throughout Central Brazil, and the Southern Amazon basin. Due to its incredible benefits, Buriti Oil is renowned both in the Amazon and internationally. Buriti trees grow on peatlands, which store large amounts of carbon in their soil—the equivalent of approximately 40% of the total carbon stored in the entire population of tropical woody vegetation. Peru has the fourth largest area of peatlands in the tropics, about 15 million acres, so protecting buriti trees from being cut for their fruit is essential to preserving these carbon dense forests. We supply our small producers with climbing harnesses to harvest the fruit in order to keep these valuable forests standing.Sustainability / Biodiversity / Fair Trade:These aren't buzzwords, they are Candela Peru's beliefs. Their history is steeped in a deep commitment to biodiversity, regenerative practices, and fair trade principles. Every bit of the butters and oils they make come from local and indigenous producers. By supporting these small suppliers that wildcraft, cultivate, and sustainably harvest the best that the Andes and Amazon have to offer, they are able to enhance and empower the communities they come from. They do this by putting 100% of their surplus back into the environment and the lives of the people who protect it.
