YuraQ – The White Knight of the Rainforests
Now For Personal Care Products
Some good eco-news at last: in a time when depletion of the rain forests makes headlines, YuraQ helps to conserve them and supports the indigenous population.
In the tropical rainforest of Ecuador, a native wild palm tree produces a magic seed called Tagua. Due to its consistency, appearance and cream white shade, the stone nut is also known as vegetable ivory. Once milled to a fine and smooth powder, it is perfectly 100% white. For decades, Tagua has been replacing plastic in the luxury garment industry by exchanging plastic buttons with the Tagua Nut. YuraQ helps endangered rainforest land and supports the local economy by providing jobs to dozens of communities.
