The Genesis
The genesis of these Anti-microbial products comes from the craggy slopes of Himalayas where the robust tree species, Himalayan Pines are found. These trees shed their pine needles and cones which prevent any undergrowth thereby choking off flora prospects. We collect these pine needles via our tribal empowerment program and blend with resin to create sustainable product choices for everyday use.
Every 3-4 years, the dry accumulation of these pine needles burst’s into flames. Numerous ground dwelling rare and invaluable flora are lost as per first information reports lodged by the Forest Department. Not only that, countless baby animals that are unable to flee too perish. The aftermath is equally grave. Forest Fires heat soil at a 7-10 cm depth leading to loss of water holding capacity. The excess ammonia generated in ash leads to high emissions and nitrification of soil.
Our compositions thus bring about reduction in carbon footprint and keep everyone healthy including our tiny blue planet and also bring about vast carbon capture through preservation of forest carbon sinks.
