Amazon Fruits become input for food and cosmetics

Since 2007, Blue Macaw Flora has been studying Amazon fruits and fruits from other parts of Brazil. By combining sustainability and high technology, these food are transformed into powder extracts and fruit powders that make food and cosmetic products healthier and more natural that reach the final consumer.

For some years now, the food, cosmetics, and pharmacological industries have noticed the change in the behavior of their consumers, which is reflected in the search for more natural items.

As a result, the concern to meet this need has made companies such as Blue Macaw Flora gain strength and become manufacturers’ partners in the development of ingredients that have been making a difference in products that used to be filled with preservatives and colorings.
