Our Story
Moena Botanicals was created by the work of Camino Verde, a regeneration project based in the Peruvian Amazon. The organization works to regenerate landscapes by addressing the driver of deforestation, extractivist commerce.
Through years of building relationships with local communities and planting dynamic agroforestry systems with small shareholder farmers, Camino Verde has developed a culture that celebrates the production of small-batch, harmless harvest, non-timber forest products that include our essential oils.
Our oils are the purest quality, from potent and unique Peruvian plants. But the best part is that they are regenerative, meaning that they play a role in bringing back resources that we are losing on this planet and creating a future where people and ecologies can thrive.
Our Values
We want to share some of the most inspiring gifts from the botanical world, but in the purest form possible. That is why our values include producing oils that are wild-harvested, organically grown, single-origin, never diluted, never a GMO, and are beyond sustainable.
We strive to be leaders in the ethical production of artisan botanicals that play a key role in restoring biodiversity, and creating sustained livelihoods for local communities while celebrating the power of plants.
Our primary collection of oils features scents unlike any you have ever encountered before, aromatics that are only found in Peru's unique regions, from the high altitudes of the dry tropical jungle to the lowland landscapes of the Amazon basin.
We hope that when you experience our essential oils your senses transport you to a world where you are inspired by and connected to nature.
About Us
Moena Botanicals was founded by the plant lovers and environmental stewards of Camino Verde, who believe that we can uplift communities while restoring vulnerable landscapes. Our team’s love for the planet is founded on each of the relationships we have with nature. These relationships have been built upon personal and shared experiences that have left us in awe of the natural world and wanting more than ever to protect and restore what is left of our green home.
Through Moena Botanicals, we want to share a little bit of the magic we find daily in our work with plants. Essential oils are a great and accessible way to connect to nature. We think of essential oils as messages from plants that we can smell. Each plant has a unique chemistry that produces an aroma that offers mood-altering energetics to our mind and body when we smell them. We invite you to take an inspired and thoughtful scenting journey through the landscape of one of the most biodiverse regions on our planet, the Peruvian Amazon.
