Care for people, for the forest, manufacturing innovative and sustainable cosmetics that generate income for communities in western Pará and contribute to keeping the Amazon standing.

Vegan natural cosmetics brand, with 10 years on the market, based on the appreciation of the standing forest. Its products contain around 90-96% of forest inputs, extracted sustainably by riverside communities in Western Pará.

95 % of the components used in soaps, creams, deodorants and other brand products are purchased from these communities. Around 30 families benefit from Ekilibre's work, a direct impact on approximately 130 people. 

The products bring health, well-being and provide self-care using natural inputs from the forest.

“When we arrived here, some communities sold trees to lumber companies and stopped doing so because they realized they could sell the fruits that these trees bear, generating income for the whole family. So, Ekilibre’s work simultaneously conserves and directly encourages the planting of native Amazonian species by riverside communities”
Kairós Canavarro, CEO of Ekilibre Amazônia
