Natura Ekos Castanha Creamy Hand Balm
Have you ever met a 2000-year-old tree? Introducing, the Castanha, otherwise known as the Brazil nut. This 50-meter towering tree often lives for over 500 years. It is deeply revered by Brazil's native people for its majestic size and strength and for its many uses. Some have even dubbed it the "Queen of the Forest". It's no wonder this tree is an endangered species protected by law; felling one is an actual offense. The Castanha fruit must be collected in its natural habitat; all attempts to cultivate it outside of the forest have failed to produce fruit. Inside the Castanha nut's shell hides a sweet and milky secret with sacred and nutrient virtues. It's truly a delight to the senses. Used by indigenous tribes for centuries the Brazil nut makes foods, soaps, and medicines intended to ease stomach troubles or hepatitis. Its oil can be used as an emollient to lubricate or moisturize your skin. With so many applications, the Castanha is a sacred species for the people of the Amazon forests. Hands are protected, moisturized and lightly perfumes. Hydration of upper layers of the skin.Made in Brasil
