Our story
We believe that every person is unique, that every skin should have its own unique radiance, and that through a simple, targeted daily skincare routine, you can easily feel beautiful, youthful, and revitalized. Our skincare philosophy is based on three main pillars: Science supported by Nature, Minimalism, and Sustainability.
Science supported by Nature
Our roots lie in the wonders and ingredients of the Azores, where nature is renowned for its purity, freshness, and beauty. Elements that we bring to your skin.
Our skincare products are created by a team of highly qualified cosmetologists who develop our innovative formulas backed by natural science. Every product we make is a meticulous combination of powerful plant-derived active ingredients, designed to deliver the highest level of skincare efficacy.
When we formulate a new product, we aim to achieve its primary function or performance whenever possible with ingredients classified as “naturally derived,” whether from plants or mineral sources. We do not use synthetic fragrances, petrochemical derivatives, parabens, silicones, sulfates, PEGs, GMOs, TEA, or DEA. Our products are cruelty-free, vegan, and gluten-free.
Minimalism
We embrace the principle that “less is more” – the fewest ingredients and the maximum
benefits. We create minimalist formulas featuring meticulously calculated combinations and concentrations of active ingredients, giving your skin exactly what it needs: the most beneficial ingredients for maximum efficacy.
A range initially composed of just three products for a focused, practical and effective offering, wrapped in conscious and recyclable packaging that respects the planet.
Sustainability
We believe that nothing should come at a cost to our planet and our mission is to bring you conscious products.
We work with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and use only certified materials in all of our cartons and shipping boxes. This system ensures that paper is made only with materials from an area specifically cultivated for wood production. The FSC guarantees that for every tree used, at least one other is planted.
We use glass packaging because it is widely recyclable and does not degrade during the recycling process – glass can live a thousand lives repeatedly going through the crush-melt-mold cycle.
Plastic packaging is chosen to maintain the safety of your product, made from recycled plastic and can also be recycled.
Everything so that we can reduce our ecological footprint.
ESTE É O NOSSO LABORATÓRIO NATURAL

OS AÇORES
Membro da Rede Mundial de Reservas da Biosfera (WNBR) e Geoparques Globais da UNESCO, a Ilha do Corvo é uma das 9 ilhas dos Açores e é casa da SAZOREA. Os Açores são o primeiro arquipélago do mundo com certificação da EARTHCHECK, entidade certificadora de destinos turísticos sustentáveis. Isto representa o enorme compromisso na preservação da nossa riqueza em fauna, flora e ecossistemas marinhos. Os Açores combinam o solo vulcânico enriquecido com minerais e um clima subtropical rodeado por águas aquecidas pela corrente do Golfo, o que resulta num recanto perfeito que oferece uma abundância de ingredientes botânicos únicos e ricos em benefícios, algas ricas em nutrientes e águas vulcânicas rejuvenescedoras. Oferecendo um refúgio puro da natureza, as ilhas são a nossa inspiração. Desde as paisagens deslumbrantes e cascatas, lagoas até caldeiras cercadas por ricas florestas de espécies endémicas, protegidas de forma sustentável, verá um toque dessas ilhas em tudo o que fazemos.
AS NOSSAS CAUSAS SOCIAIS
Queremos realmente ser a nossa melhor versão e impactar o mundo de forma positiva, por isso, queremos que a nossa marca ajude causas nas quais acreditamos. Assim sendo, uma percentagem das nossas vendas reverte para duas associações muito especiais para nós:
Uma associação que ajuda as crianças em Cabo Verde a alcançar o empoderamento pessoal e social através da educação. A nossa doação ajudará a garantir kits anuais de acordo com as necessidades de cada criança.
Uma associação sem fins lucrativos focada na reflorestação global. Um compromisso com a sustentabilidade e com a natureza que nos toca profundamente e do qual queremos fazer parte.
