Our Symbiotic® Standard

Every Rahua formula includes ingredients that are ethically sourced in the rainforest and around the world. But we go a step beyond with our trademark Symbiotic® Standard: ingredients that are rainforest grown in undisturbed virgin forest, harvested and prepared using indigenous knowledge by people native to the environment, and it must be purchased at a price that helps to grow and sustain these traditions, build economies, and empower those communities.

Frequently asked questions

I have a sensitive scalp, can I still use Rahua®?

Like anyone with reactive allergies or sensitivities, we recommend that you perform a patch test before using any of our products or consulting a medical professional if you are especially sensitive. We have the full ingredient lists of our products available for review under each individual page. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at customercare@rahua.com and we’ll get back to you!

I suffer from allergies, can I still use Rahua®?

While Rahua products are consciously formulated and plant-powered, we understand that allergies and sensitivities are unpredictable. As with any new product, if you are highly sensitive, we recommend looking through the full ingredient list (available under all our product pages), consulting a medical professional for those who are especially sensitive, or doing a patch test before using our products.

Is Rahua® fair trade?

Our ethos goes beyond fair trade. Rahua by Amazon Beauty Inc. is committed to preserving not only the Amazon rainforest, but also the indigenous people who call it home. As a small business that works directly with the tribes who cultivate, harvest and process our ingredients, we have opted out of any third party fair trade certifications. Instead, we cut out the middlemen and source select ingredients, like our namesake Rahua oil, directly from the tribes themselves who are paid fairly and above market rate.

We are dedicated to defending the Amazon rainforest and strengthening its communities financially and by educating them about their human, intellectual and land rights.

Are Rahua® products vegan? Gluten-free?

Yes, all Rahua products are vegan and cruelty free. We do not test products on animals, nor do we use any animal proteins or animal byproducts (like lanolin or beeswax) in the making of any Amazon Beauty products.

Yes, Rahua products are gluten-free. In lieu of beauty ingredients which typically contain gluten, we use quinoa. We discovered that this superfood from the Andes Mountains has a small molecular weight, which allows it to penetrate deeper, strengthening hair and improving skin’s elasticity. But for those who are especially sensitive, we always recommend consulting a medical professional or conducting a patch test.

Does Rahua® test on animals?

No. All Rahua products are vegan and cruelty free. We do not test products on animals, nor do we use animal proteins or animal byproducts (like lanolin or beeswax) in the making of Rahua products.

What is “natural aroma” and why does Rahua® use it?

The ingredient “natural aroma” is a fragrance made of a custom blend of natural plant components including notes taken from essential oils. Since it’s a proprietary mix, the ingredient “natural aroma” encompasses what’s included without revealing its unique blend.

If you are susceptible to allergens with scent products, we recommend testing in small doses.

Does Rahua® use parabens in the products? Sulfates? Silicones? Phthalates?

Rahua is paraben-free, sulfate-free, silicone-free and phthalate-free! Our formulas use plant-powered surfactants that are gentle on the skin and scalp while still cleansing thoroughly. You may not see an immediate voluminous lather with natural shampoos. Our shampoos do their job by clinging to oil and dirt and sliding away with the flow of water.

What are Symbiotic® ingredients?

Symbiotic is Rahua’s signature standard. In order for an ingredient to be classified as Symbiotic, it must be rainforest grown wild in undisturbed virgin forest, harvested and prepared using Indigenous knowledge by people indigenous to the virgin forest environment, and it must be purchased at a price that helps to grow and sustain these traditions, build economies, and empower the indigenous people.
