The only thing more important than our ingredients is where they come from

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.
