Original OMA Bracelet

In order to pull this off, we've partnered with Rainforest Trust, one of the highest rated organizations on Charity Navigator, a third party organization that rates companies based on their transparency and efficiency.  Thanks to the support of their board members who cover the majority of the operating expenses, Rainforest Trust is able to allocate 100% of the project donations directly to conservation action.  Meaning we're able to make a little go a LONG way.

Our first-of-its-kind OMA bracelet is made ENTIRELY of organic materials that have been sustainably sourced from the Amazon Rainforest, making it 100% biodegradable.  Even the most "eco-friendly" bracelets out there still use traditional nylon for their string, which is just another form of plastic, meaning they will still end up in a landfill at the end of their life cycle.  Not to mention, we are the only bracelet that comes with a ZERO-WASTE plantable packaging, meaning you can plant your packaging when you're done with it to cut down even more on unnecessary waste. 

Also, the sad truth of the matter is that 99% of the bracelets being used for these types of initiatives are just repurposed factory-made bracelets from China.  Many times people will use terms like "recycled" and "eco-friendly" to describe them but the reality is that these mass produced bracelets are anything BUT.

The heart and soul of our brand lies within our relationships with our indigenous artisans partners. We are not just "selling bracelets"  to fund a cause, but rather, creating new economies and opportunities for the artisans in the very same areas we are working to protect, thus GREATLY increasing our ability to make an impact.

OMA is known as a social enterprise, a business that utilizes profits to support social good causes.  While the "for-profit" part seems to throw many people off, this is a MUCH different approach than the typical "profit-centric" corporations that are part of the very same industries we are working to fight against.

Companies like TOMS and Patagonia are great examples of social enterprises that have utilized this model to create a massive amount of good in the world.  As a non-profit, we would actually be much more limited in our ability to create the fair-trade economic opportunities we've built out for our indigenous artisan partners.

Ultimately, we pride ourselves on integrity and transparency being our guiding stars for this project, and this translates into EVERYTHING we do.  You will never see us utilizing any sort of marketing tricks or tactics to win your business, as we feel that if the heart and soul of a project like this is pure, you won't need to be "sold" anything at all. With that said, if there is ever anything that you are unsure about or just want to feel more secure in your purchase going to where we say it's going, don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. We'd love to connect!

No.  All of our materials are sustainably sourced Earth-based materials and are 100% animal and cruelty-free.
