Abstract

In the Brazilian Amazon, the concept of bioeconomy sheds new light on the sustainable processing and commercialization of forest products associated with the territories of indigenous peoples and local communities. This article analyzes the potential to develop cosmetic products from natural ingredients based on local knowledge, and according to international market demand. First, we review the concept of bioeconomy and its linkages to the promotion of socio-biodiversity. We then present the main trends observed in the international cosmetics market. Drawing from field experiences with Amazonian populations, visits to fairs, and interviews with cosmetics professionals, we then identify the obstacles to a wider commercialization of Amazonian products. We conclude with a discussion of how compatible the notion of socio-biodiversity is with the market logics.
