Many years ago the co-founder of Rio-Amazon travelled to Brazil and was inspired by the wonderful herbs which grew abundantly in every corner of the Amazon rainforest. He found a treasure trove of nature’s finest botanicals which had been used by indigenous peoples to support their health and wellbeing. His mission was to bring the finest herbs back to the western world, and to share their beneficial properties. For over 30 years, Rio Amazon have been travelling far and wide to uncover Mother Nature’s hidden gems. The raw herbs and extracts they source today are the same homegrown, hand-plucked variety the people of South America have been harvesting for centuries. Supporters of the preservation of the Amazon and its communities, Rio Amazon always try to negotiate a fair trade price with our sustainable growers. When selecting ingredients, Rio Amazon use herbal ingredients, from organic farming, whenever possible. Rio Amazon are against animal testing and are vegan friendly.
