There are a lot of companies out there today that make beauty products. There are even a lot of companies that make really good beauty products. But there aren’t a lot of companies that make truly unique beauty products, and that’s why we have chosen to write about Teadora.
If you are familiar with Product Review Hero, you know we don’t write reviews about just any company. They have to meet our standards for product quality, ethics, and novelty (meaning they have to be new, innovative, or exciting for some reason). Teadora meets all of these qualifications.
Not only does Teadora craft their products from Rainforest Superfruit Botanicals, they do it in an ethical and sustainable way. They are also big supporters of rainforest conservation, which is something that is important to us here at PRH as well. As a matter of fact, Teadora’s founder grew up in the Amazon Rainforest.
Let’s dive in, and by the time we are done, I’m sure you will love this company just as much as we do.
Teadora is a small, family owned business that specializes in creating health and beauty products made from Heirloom Brazilian Botanicals. These botanicals are rich natural ingredients, native to the rainforests of Brazil. Thery have been used for centuries by the indigenous people there.
The company has trademarked a term for the two product lines they have created from these ingredients, calling it, TerraVital™, which means, Vital Land. Teadora believes that the rainforest is not only vital to people as a source of health and wellness products, but vital to the survival of the planet as well.
Teadora (which means “adores you” in Portuguese), was founded in 2013 by Valeria Cole. Valeria grew up in Brazil and remembers venturing into the rainforest with her mother from an early age. They would collect wild plants which they would then dry and blend into various mixtures to create nourishing natural remedies.
This became a passion for Valeria, and she decided she needed to share it with the world by creating her own natural and organic products. In that way, she lets others experience the magic of the Amazon too.
Her love of the jungle has also led her to become very involved in rainforest conservation. She is committed to using her business as a force for good. We will talk more about Teadora’s conservation efforts later on in this review.
Over the years, Teadora has developed an impressive product line which now contains 15 different items. These are divided into two TerraVital™ collections. The TerraVital™ Wild Superfood Collection and the TerraVital™ Raw Minimalist Collection.
The Wild Superfood collection contains items that are made by combining between 3 and 14 different superfoods into proprietary Teadora formulations. Each of the superfoods is carefully chosen for its specific vitamins, acids, antioxidants, etc. and combined to make one single super nutrient rich product. Teadora says it’s “like a multi-vitamin approach to skin and hair care”.
This is a “back to basics” collection of products that each contains only one or two different rainforest ingredients. All of the nutrient rich oils, toners, masks, and scrubs in this collection are fragrance free, and are as close to raw nature as you can get.
Next, we will take a look at each Teadora product individually, and then wrap things up with our thoughts on the company.

We think these lip drops are pretty cool. They are divided into single size servings which are contained in nifty little vegi-caps. It makes it super easy to carry with you if you don’t feel like lugging the whole container around.
Aside from the cool factor, this stuff is great for your lips. The combination of Pequi, Tomato, and Geranium is super hydrating and rich in tri-peptides that work to naturally plump your lips. It lasts for a long time, generally several hours depending on what you are doing, and it makes your lips super shiny.

Valeria might not live in the Amazon any longer, but her love for the rainforest has not diminished. She has created a company of activists, a company that realizes the healing power of the rainforest and is aware of the threat it is under today. Destruction of the world’s rainforests negatively affects fresh water, weather patterns, and climate change.
Currently they are working with the Rainforest Foundation US to preserve 350,000 acres of Rainforest habitat and to plant more than 1 million trees. Everything Teadora does is in support of their conservation mission.
Teadora is committed to providing their customers with the absolute highest quality natural and organic products on the market today. They use only the finest natural ingredients, most of which come from the Amazon rainforest. All of their supplies are ethically sourced. They work with small harvesting companies, making sure that their practices are sustainable and their workers are paid fairly.
Teadora also cares deeply about the health and well being of their customers and is extremely careful about the components they choose to use in their products. All of their ingredients are run through EWG’s Skin Deep to ensure that they meet the strictest criteria for transparency and health.
Everything that Teadora makes is 100% vegan, toxin free, fragrance free, gluten free, and cruelty free. Teadora is also a Certified B Corporation.
We love this company. Their products are exotic and unique, and they really work. They are sourced sustainably and you can rest assured knowing you aren’t putting anything harmful into your body. Besides, “Heirloom Brazilian Botanical” just sounds cool right?

We encourage you to support this Teadora and the work the are doing, and to spread the word about their amazing products.
