Skin Care Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why are natural products better for my skin?
Our skin is our largest organ. Everything we put on our skin is absorbed into the body. Natural products are more easily recognized and utilized by the skin. More research is coming out on the harmful effects of synthetic skin care ingredients not only for our skin, but also for our overall health as well. Lluvia skin care products are free of synthetic chemicals and preservatives, alcohol, harsh detergents, waxes, parabens, mineral oil, lanolin and artificial fragrances and colors.

2. Can the products be used for all ages and skin types?
Yes. The Lluvia™ Skin Care System has been designed to be flexible. To customize, simply adjustments how much of each product you use. The system is easily personalized to fit every age, skin type and environmental condition.

3. Are Lluvia™ products organic?
Lluvia™ skin care products use ingredients that are organic and ingredients that are wild crafted. Wild-crafted botanicals are preferred because they are harvested wild in their natural environment. They are collected by hand in an ecologically-sustainable manner. Either way—organic or wild-crafted—they are never treated with pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers.

4. How do you stabilize the products without chemical preservatives?
Lluvia™ uses natural stabilizers such as grapefruit seed extract and concentrated essential oils to preserve the products and ensure the natural activity of the formulas.

5. Why are your products in glass bottles?
Lluvia™ Skin Care products come in glass bottles to preserve the integrity of natural ingredients. The dark emerald green color glass was chosen not only because it represents the richness of the Rainforest but to protect the formulas from light. In addition, products containing essential oils may not be compatible with plastic containers. Glass containers ensure no biochemical integration. Please recycle all enclosures and containers.

6. What is the best way to store my Lluvia™ products?
It is best to store skin care products in a cool, dry place. We use natural ingredients. Natural products may separate or change color. Simply shake or stir before using to re-integrate and energize the natural ingredients.

7. How can using products from the Amazon Rainforest help preserve the Rainforest?
We advocate the preservation of Rainforests by promoting the use of sustainable and renewable botanical resources. By creating an income stream for Rainforest communities for herbal ingredients in Lluvia™ products, the native people have new opportunities to make choices about their future. One of our projects assists communities in acquiring deeds and titles for their land.

This type of exchange encourages greater understanding between cultures. Building channels of trust and mutual respect is an ongoing endeavor and part of our corporate mission. A portion of sales from Lluvia™ products goes to fund these preservation efforts.
