A story of respect, community, and a commitment to our planet’s future
Welcome to AmaSKN – a family-founded skincare brand with a mission to make a difference, preserve the Amazon’s natural wonders, celebrate ancestral traditions, and uplift the communities who call the rainforest home.
Our journey began with a vision to shift away from industries that harm the rainforest—like cattle farming, mining, and logging—toward a sustainable future that utilizes renewable, non-timber forest products. By working closely with local communities, we’re creating an ethical supply chain that values the forest’s incredible resources while protecting its ecosystems.
In December 2021, after two years of dedicated research, we launched our Superfruit Face Oil and Sacha Inchi Peptide Firming Cream, highlighting Amazonian superstars like sacha inchi, cacay, ucuuba, açaí, and buriti.
Each ingredient we use has been carefully studied for its environmental impact, seasonal rhythms, and remarkable skin benefits.
Amidst a sea of skincare options, we saw an opportunity to honor the Amazon’s bounty—ingredients rich in nutrients and stories.
We’re committed to sharing the journey of each ingredient and the families involved. We believe that authentic, sustainable trade can transform lives, reduce poverty, and protect our planet. It’s our way of tackling deforestation and the climate crisis, one conscious choice at a time.
True to our values, AmaSKN gives back 10% of profits to support projects that creates a sacred space for knowledge and culture to thrive for generations to come. We’re also proud members of Origens Brasil, a network dedicated to fair trade and rainforest conservation.
Our work directly supports local communities, including riverside settlers, Indigenous groups, and quilombos (Afro-Brazilian communities founded by
those who escaped slavery). Together, we practice sustainable
agroforestry and wild harvesting, creating valuable income streams that respect the forest’s balance.
More than ever, consumers are becoming discerning about the ingredients in their beauty products. At AmaSKN, our ethos is deeply anchored in a balanced fusion of ancestral Amazonian wisdom and cutting-edge beauty science. Our mission isn’t just to champion the ‘clean beauty’ narrative but to redefine beauty itself. Tomorrow’s beauty products will seamlessly blend sustainability with innovation. And AmaSKN is pioneering that change.
