At True Botanicals, we believe caring for your skin should never come at the expense of people, animals, or the planet. We create luxurious, consciously crafted formulas that are clinically proven to work, powered by the most potent, sustainably sourced plant actives. Beautiful textures and naturally grounding scents make every step of your routine both effective and sensorial. Our standards are among the strictest in beauty, because your peace of mind means everything to us. Every formula is MADE SAFE® certified, vegan, cruelty-free, and microbiome-friendly—and most are pregnancy-safe (we’ll never leave you guessing). What touches your skin matters, whether it’s a daily ritual, a self-care indulgence, or a skin-to-skin moment with your baby. For more than a decade, we’ve stayed true to our mission: to prove that exceptionally clean ingredients and transformative results can coexist.

Founded in 2000, SAMBAZON, an acronym for Sustainable Management of the Brazilian Amazon, was the first company to introduce “certified Açaí” to the world, supplying organic and Fair Trade certified Açaí products from a proprietary supply chain to ensure transparency from the “palm of the tree to the palm of your hand.” SAMBAZON recently launched Seeding Change, a documentary highlighting mission-driven brands operating on triple-bottom-line business models and using commerce as a vehicle to create a more prosperous future for the people and the planet, similarly to how SAMBAZON uses the Delicious Powers of Açaí. All SAMBAZON products, including Smoothie Packs, Ready to Eat Açaí Bowls, Juices, Energy drinks and Açaí Bites are made from USDA Organic, Non-GMO, vegan, and Fair For Life Fair Trade Certified Açaí. SAMBAZON’s Fair Trade certification has helped to protect the Amazon Rainforest and its rich biodiversity and has helped to positively impact thousands of local growers. With the commitment to invest a percentage of local Açaí purchases back into the community, SAMBAZON has contributed over $1 million to build build healthcare centers, community centers and schools.
