* The Amazon Rainforest is ripe with an infinite amount of natural beauty ingredients. For hundreds of years, deep in the heart of the Amazon, women from the Quechua-Shuar tribe have foraged the symbiotically grown Rahua nut, which renders an oil long used to promote long, healthy and strong hair. Knowing that modern consumers are increasingly drawn to natural, greener alternatives to chemical-infused hair preparations, Fabian Lliguin and his wife Anna Ayers, founders of New York-based Amazon Beauty, traveled into the Amazon Rainforest in search of this time tested ingredient. After working side by side with the women of the Quechua-Shuar tribe, they became moved to use their products as a means of Rainforest preservation. With their Rahua hair care line, the couple has come full circle with nature, giving back to the Amazon and the Quechua-Shuar tribe by donating funds to ensure the tribe maintains the intellectual rights to these Amazonian resources and helping to preserve the beauty of the planet's largest living and breathing renewable natural resource.
