The 10 Most Powerful Amazonian Plants for Radiant Skin | Complete Guide

The Amazon, often called the "lungs of the planet," is also the world's largest pharmacy. For millennia, indigenous communities, particularly our Shipibo partners, have drawn from this exceptional biodiversity to create beauty and care rituals of remarkable effectiveness. At Jaina Paris, we are passionate about introducing you to these botanical treasures. Here is our selection of the 10 most powerful Amazonian plants that will transform your skin.

1. Dragon's Blood (Croton lechleri): The Sacred Healer

Dragon's Blood is not a mythical creature, but a deep red resin from an Amazonian tree. Used by healers for its exceptional healing properties, this resin is a true treasure for the skin. Rich in proanthocyanidins, it accelerates cellular regeneration, reduces inflammation, and protects the skin from external aggressions. It's the star ingredient in our repairing treatments.

 2. Murumuru Butter (Astrocaryum murumuru): Intense Hydration

Derived from the seeds of an Amazonian palm, Murumuru butter is a concentrate of hydration. Its unique composition, rich in lauric, myristic, and oleic acids, allows it to penetrate deep into the epidermis to restore the hydrolipidic barrier. It intensely nourishes dry and dehydrated skin without leaving a greasy film. A must-have for soft and supple skin.

3. Arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea): The Gentle Purifier

This fine and silky powder, extracted from tropical plant rhizomes, is the ally of combination to oily skin. Arrowroot has exceptional absorbent and mattifying properties, while being very gentle on the skin. It helps reduce excess sebum, tightens pores, and leaves a velvety finish. It's the key ingredient in our purifying Petal and Rain mask.
