ABOUT US
Who are we?
Candela es pionera en un futuro mejor para las personas y el planeta. Con sede en el corazón de la Amazonía peruana, llevamos más de 30 años creyendo en la riqueza de la selva Amazónica evidenciada en materias primas sostenibles. Liderando la industria como proveedor de productos orgánicos ética y socialmente responsables.
MISSION
Development of ethical markets for quality organic products with emphasis on strengthening the Amazonian and Andean value chains through the empowerment of the capabilities of rural producers, making sustainable use of the ecosystems from which they come.
VISION
Peru and the world consume ecological, healthy and sustainable products from Amazonian and Andean biodiversity, which are made under regenerative practices and fair trade principles.
Sustainability
Biodiversity
Fair trade.
THESE AREN’T BUZZWORDS, THEY’RE OUR BELIEFS.
Our history is steeped in a deep commitment to biodiversity, regenerative practices, and fair trade principles. Every bit of the butters and oils we make come from local and indigenous producers. By supporting these small suppliers that wildcraft, cultivate, and sustainably harvest the best that the Andes and Amazon have to offer, we are able to enhance and empower the communities they come from. We do this by putting 100% of our surplus back into the environment and the lives of the people who protect it.
Working together to create products that can better the planet
Together, we can go beyond trendy industry buzzwords to make a better world a reality. We don’t just deliver the most high-quality, high-demand ingredients in sustainable beauty. We raise the bar on what beauty can do. What goes into your products can conserve the environment. It can bolster livelihoods. It can create a positive impact on the world at large, while also having that same impact on your customers.
