Natura’s two passions – for cosmetics as a vehicle of self-knowledge and the exaltation of well being and human connections as a way to express life – granted it a privileged spot in Brazil’s corporate landscape.

We are one of the most admired companies in Brazil, also leader in the domestic industry of cosmetics, fragrance and personal hygiene and our brand is one of the most valuable brands in Brazil. Our product portfolio now consists of approximately 900 products, in the categories make-up, fragrances, solar protection, skin care and hair care, among others.

In 2007, gross revenues amounted to R$ 4,301.6 million, 10.6% more than in 2006. One of the cornerstones of this expansion is the constant search for excellence in our products and services, essential to establish and cement quality in our relationships with our publics.

We are at the frontline of the Brazilian companies that invest the most in research and development. In 2007 we produced more than 225 million items sold to our 50 million consumers in over 5,000 Brazilian cities through direct sales. We also have operations in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Mexico, France and, recently, Venezuela and Colombia.

With our daily business fully integrated with our beliefs, we maintain and develop a socially and environmentally responsible management, rooted in two pillars. The first one is ethics, transparency and open communication channels with all the publics who interact with the company. The other one is the establishment of targets compatible with the sustainable development. These are initiatives that belong to our dream of contributing to build a better world.
