Discover a mystical land of well-kept secrets to wellness
THE ORIGINS In the heart of the Peruvian Andes, surrounded by vibrant mountains and mystical lands, lies the most valuable wellness secret of the ancient Incan culture: the healing power of their endemic plants. Aypa, meaning Earth in Inca Quechua language, stands for the respect and the values the native Andeans hold towards Nature, considering the Earth as their Mother: sacred and their source of life. The Andean people learned that the Earth is their habitat, their companion, the one who presides over planting and harvesting, nurturing and teaching them how to grow. In return and in a thankful way they keep protecting and taking care of her.

THE INGREDIENTS Sacha Inchi is a seed organically grown in the Peruvian Amazon. It contains the richest concentration and combination of vegetal omegas: 3 (48%), 6 (36%) and 9 (8%), as well as vitamins A and E. It´s a skin-regenerating ingredient and an antioxidant, which has also calming properties on the skin.
Goldenberry or Physalis Peruviana is a fruit native to the north mountain range of Peru. It is notable for its high content in provitamin A and vitamin C, making it a powerful antioxidant ingredient with unique anti-aging properties.
Camu Camu is a tiny fruit hand-picked directly along the banks of the Amazon River of Peru. It is leader and a superior source of naturally occurring vitamin C in the world. It also has a very high antioxidant action, making it a great anti-aging ingredient that also brings radiance to the skin.
Quinoa plant is native to the Andean Mountains, growing up to 13,100 ft. a.s.l. It outstands for being super-rich in vegetal proteins, in particular high amounts of Theonine and Lysine. It restores the skin´s hydration and promotes the formation and repair of tissues, nourishing and strengthening the skin cells.
In harmony with the Earth the Incas created an organic and ecological farming system by respecting seasonality and by holding sacred harvesting ceremonies in cadence with Nature’s rhythms. As a result and thanks to this respect for Nature since ancient Incan times, the land in Peru has been blessed with one of the richest biodiversity on the planet. Several climatic zones in the region have harboured the organic growth of emblematic plants and exotic botanical species going from the Pacific coast through the Andes mountains, and reaching the Amazon rainforest.

THE INGREDIENTS Purple Corn is a native Peruvian plant organically cultivated in the lower valleys of the Andes. It contains anthocyanins and phenolic compounds, specially concentrated in the cob. It´s a potent antioxidant that protects cells and reduces aging caused by free radicals. Also improves micro circulation.
Lucuma is a unique fruit that organically grows in the dry valleys of the Peruvian coast, near the Pacific Ocean. It´s rich in minerals and vitamins, highlighting its content of vitamin B3 (niacin) which contributes to the production process of the body´s energy, providing vitality to the epidermal tissues.
The Andean Salt (Maras) is mysteriously formed in the Sacred Valleys of the Incas (Cuzco) at 10,800 ft. a.s.l. since 250 million years ago. It is photonically enriched by the intense Andean sun, therefore is an energetic salt full of nutrients. It contains 84 minerals assimilable by the body. This contributes to the improvement of overall health.
These organically grown plants in Incan lands possess extraordinary properties. They have active principles that have been very well known since ancient times, and are therefore used in traditional medicine to heal and in local cuisine to nurture. Nowadays these authentic ingredients are considered as superfoods with amazing benefits for the body, feeding the skin from the outside in. At Aypa we are proud to receive this inheritance and we want to share it with the world by developing natural cosmetics formulas with these precious ingredients whilst maintaining the utmost respect for the environment.
