This fair and sustainable trade involves a group of more than 50 female producers. GREENTECH provides equipment, guarantees quantities and prices and provides quality standards training.
Cosmetic Benefits: Nutrients provided by LIPACTIVE BAOBAB preserve skin's lipid balance, maintaining its moisturization: skin is very soft, supple and smooth; it regains its radiance.
