Brazil’s top cosmetics company, Natura Cosmeticos S.A., whose 
competitive differential is the development of products based on the biodiversity of the Brazilian flora, opened its first store in the U.S. The store is located in New York City, in the heart of Nolita neighborhood.
In addition to all cosmetics products, the store features charming raffia bags handwoven in Bahia and a great selection of books about Brazil.
To immerse the public into their culture, Natura managers are planning a series of interesting in-store events. First up was Natutama – The Amazon Beyond the Rainforest. An exhibition of photographs of Eliseu Cavalcante’s trip to Amazon, where all the ingredients for Natura’s products come from, as a result of partnerships with local communities.
