COLOMBIA | Dermatological Congress
At Arlés Organics, we continue to position Colombian cacay oil in high-impact strategic settings for the beauty and personal care industry. Our participation in the Dermatological Congress held in Cali and in the Business Matchmaking Event “Colombia, the Land of Beauty – The Americas 2026” in Bogotá allowed us to connect with companies, laboratories, and international partners interested in innovative and sustainable natural ingredients.
These opportunities strengthen our presence in national and international markets and reaffirm the potential of cacay oil as a premium ingredient of Colombian origin, recognized for its cosmetic properties and its unique value within the global beauty and dermocosmetics industry.
COLOMBIA | ARLÉS at COP 16
Colombia faces the challenge of being effective in implementing actions to achieve its goals for restoring degraded areas, reducing deforestation, and sustainably using its forests. This can only be achieved by working in line with local realities and opportunities, and hand in hand with stakeholders in the territory.
Several years ago, we embarked on the adventure of developing an agroforestry project based on a highly valuable species from our biodiversity: Cacay. Our economic expectations were very quickly surpassed by the ecosystem services and the social and environmental value offered by our project in an environment where it seems that the only productive option is the scarce job opportunities offered by the hydrocarbon industry or the trade of goods and services linked to oil development in the Caño Sur Block.

At the beginning of September 2022, Arlés and IMCD Spain signed a collaboration agreement that includes exclusive distribution for Spain and Portugal. The focus of the agreement is to position Cacay Oil as an innovative and sustainable active ingredient that seeks to highlight the major sustainability project behind it, where Arlés is positioned as the only producer in the world with international ecological certifications.
According to Andrés Olano, General Manager of Arlés in Colombia, “the Cacay cultivation project and the production of the oil generate cooperation initiatives that can significantly contribute to sustainable development, the generation of opportunities in Colombia, and the construction of stable and lasting conditions of peace for the communities and territories affected by decades of conflict.”
