Detailed project

NB: this form is filled entirely by the ones submitting the innovation.

What is the issue addressed?

Amazon rainforest deforestation, the consequent release of CO2 and the extinction of the richest biodiversity on earth.

How is the problem solved?

Skincare products with ingredients originating from Amazonia. We have partnered with landowners in Amazonia to protect their territories against deforestation caused by extractive industries and pay them for their surveillance services with part of the revenue.

What is the customer target?

Our products target the Millennials and Z Generation segments (defined as those 18 to 45 years old). They currently account for roughly 80 million in the U.S. and spend 1 trillion per year.

How is this solution different?

Most brands’ ethical propositions just look artificial, like PR or CSR at best. This lack of depth of the ethical angle of these companies gives us an opportunity for strong differentiation.
