Our organic avocados are grown in the heart of Peru: on the Pacific coast and in the Andean Cordillera.
From this wonder fruit, we extract Avocado Perseose, our key ingredient that strengthens babies' skin barrier.
There's something special about our avocados, grown in the heart of the Andean Cordillera: they come from a circular economy.
This means that we take unsold avocados that are not suitable for the food industry and turn them into active ingredients for the skin.
Our local impact
In Peru, we have established responsible supply chains, controlled by the UEBT (Union for Ethical BioTrade), which respect 3 fundamental commitments:
- Preserve the environment through reforestation that maintains biodiversity
- Promote good agricultural practices and traditional know-how
- Establish sustainable local business relationships to guarantee producers fair prices in the long term.
Our activity provides a new source of income for the local population: our factory in Lima employs 35 people.
From Avocado to Avocado Perseose®: our extraction process, step by step:
Avocado Perseose® is a blend of sugars that help the fruit develop and ripen.
This ingredient acts in a similar way on babies' skin from birth:
- It contributes to the development of the skin's barrier function by boosting the production of its key elements (proteins and lipids).
- It also protects the cellular capital present in the underdeveloped skin of babies, like a shield of skin cells to resist external stress.
