Fair initiatives

“Liquid Gold”: Berber women in the protected region of southwest Morocco make this possible. They extract our valuable argan oil from argan nuts carefully by hand in a traditional way. A UNESCO World Heritage site.

„Forest butter“: We source our nourishing avocado oil from a forested mountain region near Mount Kenya. A small-farmer initiative devotes special attention to the avocado flower to ensure abundant yields. They harvest the surplus from the cultivation themselves.

Not only notoriously known as the “land of the coconut trees”: In the Indian city of Kerala, tree climbers make permanent financial compensation possible for the community. It’s always harvest season for the sought-after coconuts from which we extract our mildly scented oil.

Family ties: During the autumn harvest season, relatives gather together on the hill terraces of the family’s olive groves. The olives for our olive oil are hand-picked and supports the olive cultivation all over Palestine.

Be prepared for anything with shea butter: In the north of Uganda, people have always sworn by its effect. At i+m, we are happy to pay producers a higher price than the usual market price – in the service of smooth, delicate skin.

Almond flowers between the borders: In the Karakoram mountains between Pakistan, India and China, 1400 almond farmers practice sustainable agriculture. The terraced plantations offer rich returns for our high-quality almond oil.

Woman power: In the Pakistani Hunza Valley, gender equality flourishes alongside rich apricot trees. Women have moved up as decision-makers to bring traditional apricot kernel oil to women and men. A concept that fosters new perspectives.

Local and organic: In the southern Caucasus in Azerbaijan, on an area stretching over 400 hectares, pomegranates grow as far as the eye can see. Here the seeds of local varieties are carefully processed and cold-pressed. For our bright golden yellow organic oil obtained from the centre of the sun-kissed fruit.

Sophisticated peas and beans: Inca peanuts grow in the hot hills of Peru. In the province of San Martín, we support small farmers by making the extraction of this nourishing oil sustainable and worthwhile for the people and nature.

True partners: Our Peruvian cooperative enables small-scale farmers to grow cocoa beans profitably with a small ecological footprint, and to process them to make a soft, smooth butter. Treated with care for well-cared-for skin.

Wild desert lily: In the highlands of central Mexico, local farmers produce aloe vera ecologically sustainable. “Fair for Life” receives a certificate of quality for a certain drop of moisture at a fair price for the environment and people. How excellent!
