ECOLOGY

Açaí Berry is a small, round, black-purple fruit about 1 inch in circumference, similar in appearance to a grape, but smaller and with less pulp and produced in branched clusters of 500 to 900 fruits.

Acai palms are found throughout the Amazon basin and are particularly abundant in the eastern region. It is one of the most common palms of the state of Pará, and dominates the landscape, sometimes in almost pure stands. Açaí prefers flooded and wetland areas and easily regenerates. Acai also needs a second canopy that provides shade, preventing people from cutting the taller trees in the region.

The local and indigenous river people in the Amazon forest have been consuming acai berries for hundreds of years and it can make up to 80% of their diet. With the flourishing popularity, the commerce of the fruit has become the main source of income for many families and most of the acai that comes from Brazil is wildharvested and fair traded.

Acai Berry Oil is expensive, part because of its popularity and also because the extraction of the açaí oil corresponds to only 1% of the volume of the fruits, which is very low.

By purchasing Rainforest Chica's Acai Berry Oil, not only you are doing a favor to your skin and hair, you are also helping the Amazon forest to survive, you are helping river communities to stay in the forest and work not in it, but with it.
