• Who we are

Brazilian cosmetics

Natura products are developed to create a sense of pleasure and well-being. They awaken the senses and improve people's relationship with themselves, with their bodies, with others, and with the world.

We produce several different types of products: bath, body, face, hair, perfumes, and we use plant based ingredients derived from Brazilian biodiversity, harvested in partnership with local communities. Thanks to its commitment to sustainable development since its inception and its goal of generating a positive environmental, social and economic impact by 2020, Natura has also become the largest B Corp certified company in the world and the first publicly traded company to receive this certification in December 2014. Since June 2017, Natura&Co has also owned The Body Shop (which was previously owned by L'Oréal).

Natura believes that innovation is one of the cornerstones of sustainable development. The company spent 50 million euros on this in 2016 and launched 255 products, achieving an innovation index (percentage of revenue from products launched in the last two years) of 54.3%.

Sustainable development is the heart of our commitments

Since its creation, sustainable development has been at the heart of Natura's efforts. Forest conservation, waste reduction, climate protection, etc. Natura is committed to the planet every single day. But that's not all we're committed to. Discover all our commitments.

Our commitments

Environmental commitments

For several years now, the issue of waste reduction has become increasingly topical.
From the development of bulk product offerings in supermarkets to the phasing out of commercial plastic bags and balcony composters, everyone can help to reduce global waste production in their own way.
Natura has been committed to the environment for several decades.

Charitable social commitments

When he founded Natura, Luiz Seabra wanted to balance his passion for cosmetics and human relations, so that beyond the commercial aspect, there would also be another more human dimension, which would be stronger and sustainable.
His vision: to improve the world a little bit every day, giving everyone the opportunity to feel better within themselves and their surroundings, bem estar bem.
Building a better world also means giving everyone the opportunity to be part of it, to contribute to this new future, and that is why education plays such an important role for Natura.

Economic commitments

Natura is the 5th largest relationship-based sales company in the world.
As such, we offer high quality cosmetic products, increasingly innovative, promoting well-being and awakening the senses.
Our goal is to generate value by integrating the 3 pillars: economic, societal and environmental. The Amazônia programme is an example of this and our day to day activities are guided by the need to balance our 3 pillars.
