It is a great pleasure to present ATINA the first ever company in Brazil created for the sole purpose of sustainable exploration of natural active substances and organic products.
Atina shares in the belief that the sustainable use of forest resources, especially of non-timber forest products, such as resins, extracts, oils, essences, fibers and fruits, is the most effective strategy for preserving native forests, as it lends a productive component to these ecosystems, generating income and thus making them competitive against other forms of utilization of the space they occupy. In other words, it becomes more profitable to keep the forests standing than to turn them into pasture or croplands.
Respect of the natural cycles of supply of raw material and involvement with the local communities in the extraction areas, are basic principles of operation for Atina. Based on commitment to uphold these principles, Atina objective is to establish itself as a leader in the market of certified forest products, with emphasis on ingredients for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
Atina also invests in research into the sustainable exploration of natural resources of Brazilian biodiversity, as well as in the professional training and capacity building and environmental education of the local communities. Thanks to these characteristics, Atina will meet high environmental certification standards, ensuring its customers total quality of the methods used and the products supplied.
The unique qualities of Atina products make them particularly appealing to customers committed to environmental and social causes, who comprehend and value the difference between predatory extraction and the sustainable use of natural resources. This is a growing segment within the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry, and one which is increasingly demanding products of proven, environmentally correct origin.
Atina main product is the natural Alpha Bisabolol, the active substance, obtained from the distillation of the essencial oil of the Candeia tree, a native Brazilian species. As is clearly illustrated in our brochure, the business concept encompasses the entire chain of production of the alpha bisabolol, from the extraction of the wood from the forest to the sale of the final product. This vertically integrated operation sets Atina well apart from other market players, enabling full control over all aspects of production and being able to provide customers with important guarantees, namely continuous sustainable sourcing; full traceability of every batch and consistent high quality ensured by means of state of the art molecular distillation process.
We hereby invite you to test our product, Alpha Bisabolol, and to verify our claims for yourselves.
