We are detail-oriented
In Anakena - Natural Cosmetics we think that even the smallest detail counts. Just as we take care of the quality of each of our products, we want all our communications with customers and suppliers to be done in the best possible way. That is why for several years MILAGROS PORTACARRERO has been collaborating with us, putting all her dedication and effort to review and correct each text, email and post on social networks, and helping us to find new ideas to publicize the products.
A lover of literature, theater, and travel, she is co-author of the blog of our website, through which we want to transmit to our Anakena Lovers, beauty, health and wellness tips, as well as keep them up to date with all our news.
We are united by a great friendship and a shared love for Rapa Nui, which Milagros and Javier -her husband- also show through their complete and complete work. tourist guide Imagina Easter Island.
WE ARE COMMITTED
One of the most important parts of the work at Anakena - Natural Cosmetics is the preparation of the orders that we send to our wholesale customers throughout continental Chile. This task is in the hands of our beloved ISAURA TOBAR. For her, age is not an inconvenient at the moment of working; every day with her experienced hands she prepares and sends the orders and takes control of our warehouse in Santiago.
Isa has been a fundamental support in all Petra Klimscha's endeavors for many years. Since they met more than 20 years ago when Isa took Petra into her residence in Santiago, she has become her great friend. When Petra moved to live in Easter Island she helped her in all her adventures: first she supplied her in Café Ra'a, then in her ecological store "Rapa Nui Natural Products" and, since a couple of years ago Isa's home hosts the branch of our company in Santiago.
