OUR STORY

Strength Lies Within

Reap & Glow™ was born out of Flora Reserve™, a team of plant biologists and clean beauty innovators proudly advancing botanical skincare science.  We believe that strength lies within plants and have discovered Advanced Phyto-Extracts which powerfully protect, nourish and rejuvenate the skin. In 3rd party tests, our extracts outperform other leading skincare ingredients for unprecedented best-in-class performance.

OUR MISSION

So That Everyone Wins

We look to the incredible array of powerful compounds within plants for untapped and remarkable skincare benefits. Our mission is to responsibly develop and share the most beneficial of these advanced extracts so that everyone benefits, from our farming families to our valued customers.

Fundamental to this mission is our commitment to fact-based sustainable cultivation and to the care for the ecosystems and workers that supply our ingredients. A portion of every sale goes directly back to support education, health care and equitable income development as well as other wonderful environmental causes.

Reaping unprecedented skincare benefits while supporting the source. We call it simply Everyone Wins.

CAUSES WE SUPPORT

  • Cloud Forest Organics is a remarkable reforestation and conservation project located in the beautiful Andean Amazon of Ecuador, an area known as the Cloud Forest.  Visionary Ecologists have gently restored a wonderful array of once native trees & flowers to land stripped over decades by cattle ranching.  As the forest is restored, many animal species have reappeared and new fruits and vegetables are selectively wild harvested.  We’re so excited to partner with this ground-breaking pilot study for the entire world – hope is not lost!

  • ​We proudly support SOS Children’s Village India, providing comprehensive health, psychological and educational care and services for 35,000 children without parental care or otherwise at risk in 32 SOS Children’s Villages – in the area where our C-Cos™ Amla Berry grows as well as a total of 22 states throughout India.
