As the skin microbiome has become more prevalent, so too has the use of fermented products, probiotics and yeast as skin care ingredients, as Kim Cervino of Opia Nova LLC explains.
Brazil is a megadiverse country hosting 15-20% of the world’s biodiversity and containing a great portion of the Amazon biome; it hosts many plant, animal and fungi species of all kingdoms many of which are endangered. The Amazon biome is a diverse and expansive geographical region covering 35% of the continent of South America, including northwestern Brazil, Bolivia, Columbia, Ecuador and several other countries.
This precious biome is filled with unique flora and fauna and crisscrossed by many rivers including the Amazon river. Twice the size of India, the Amazon is the single largest remaining tropical rainforest on earth; it houses 10% of the world’s known biodiversity including endemic endangered flora and fauna.Â
The Amazon accounts for about 16% of the world’s total river discharge into the oceans. For many reasons, the Amazon is a most precious resource serving as one of the greatest pillars supporting life on earth.
With such a plentiful offering it is no wonder that this ecosystem has been pillaged for its many offerings by pharmaceutical, industrial, personal care and food producing companies as well as poor land management practices and reckless deforestation. This precious region’s biodiversity in forest and farms must be protected and managed responsibly.
The industry could mutually benefit with the Amazon in a space existing only for companies with intent of making available natural plant ingredients from the Amazon region through sustainable and responsible harvesting methods and biotechnology. |
