History
Established in 2005.
AmazonDrops was created in 2005 by a Brazilian living in the United States. She joined forces with Amazon Oil, a company that started in 1985 in Belém do Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon, as Curupira. That company was and still is a social project involving thousands of small farmers. In 25 years the project, which has been rebaptized as "Each Drop Saves a Tree," has saved half a million trees from being cut off. More could have been saved if there were more demand for the oils.
Meet the Business Owner: Leda B.
Leda has been supplying beauty spas and hospitals with alternative therapies with AmazonDrops organic oils and creams throughout the US. She grew up on a farm in Bahia, a state in the northeast of Brazil. She was 18 before she ever saw a doctor since her family used to rely on age-old home remedies made from natural herbs and plants.
In an interview with Eagle Rock's Boulevard Sentinel she said, "They have a herb for everything," referring to the country healing methods she grew up with. When she first started with the company, she worked in helping teach the small farmers in the Brazilian Amazon to use the more sustainable methods, as she used to travel into the rain forest to gather these small farmers together to show them the more sustainable ways of making a living.
