LIPPIA: BRAZIL'S SUSTAINABLE REMEDY
On the fields and savannas of northeastern Brazil,
an aromatic shrub grows wild, producing new sprouts each year. Lippia has been used for centuries in traditional Brazillian folk medicine to remedy irritation and discomfort.

We purchase lippia essential oil from a Brazilian company that supports the Living Pharmacy program, which teaches indigenous Brazilian communities about methods to cultivate sustainable medicinal plants for their own use. Aveda is proud to support the Living Pharmacy through grants and our partnership to source lippia.
