Meet Ingrid

My name is Ingrid — Amazonian herbalist, mother of two, and founder of Angatu. Born and raised in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, I carried the forest with me when I moved to the US in my early 20s. No matter where I go, the heartbeat of the forest is always with me.

Superfood Skincare, The Amazon Way

The Amazon Rainforest hosts the most powerful, natural skincare ingredients on the planet.

Every ingredient in Angatu has been used in the Amazon for generations — not because of a trend, but because it works. Wild-harvested at peak potency. Never synthetic. Here's what's inside:

Açaí Oil

Your skin's antioxidant shield. Packed with 33 times more anthocyanins than grape seed oil, it fights free radical damage and keeps skin looking firm and luminous.

Cacay Oil

Nature's retinol — without the irritation. Contains three times more vitamin A than rosehip oil, stimulating collagen production, smoothing texture, and leaving skin visibly firmer and glowing.

Cupuaçu butter

The Amazon's best-kept moisture secret. Rich in antioxidants and phytosterols, it deeply nourishes skin while supporting collagen and elastin — the proteins that keep skin firm, plump and youthful. Fast-absorbing, it melts into skin on contact.

Guarana Powder

Think caffeine — but five times stronger than coffee. Guaraná contains one of the highest concentrations of caffeine of any plant, which boosts circulation, visibly firms skin, and delivers a rush of antioxidants that protect against free radical damage.

Murumuru Butter

Lightweight moisture that locks in and stays in. Antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, it soothes irritation and leaves skin ultra-soft without feeling heavy.

MURUMURU SEED POWDER

Bio exfoliant. Ground from the seeds of the murumuru, the fine powder buffs away dead skin cells without the micro-tears caused by synthetic scrubs. No plastic. Just the forest doing what it's always done.

Copaiba Oil

The forest's anti-inflammatory secret. Rich in caryophyllene, it calms redness, balances oily skin, and keeps your complexion clear and even.

Babassu Oil

Like coconut oil's lighter, smarter Amazonian cousin. Babassu absorbs more quickly than coconut oil, won't clog pores, and dries with an undetectable layer that acts as a barrier against free radicals.

Buriti Oil

The highest beta-carotene of any Amazonian oil. A natural emollient that supports skin elasticity, protects against environmental damage, and leaves skin with a warm, healthy glow.

Passion Fruit Oil

High in omega-6 and naturally soothing passiflorine, it regulates sebum, calms sensitive skin, and delivers deep nourishment that absorbs fast.

Andiroba Oil

Naturally anti-inflammatory and healing, great for calming irritation and improving skin resilience.

Pataua Oil

The Amazon's answer to olive oil. Rich in omega-9, it's a powerful moisturizing agent that deeply conditions skin and supports elasticity.

The Herbalist Story

I didn't discover these ingredients. I grew up with them. As a child in the Amazon, plants weren't products — they were medicine, ritual, and daily life. Buriti for protection. Murumuru for softness. Açaí for strength. When I began formulating Angatu, I didn't start with a trend. I started with what I already knew.
