Hi, I\u2019m Catarina Nascimento Andrade, founder of SAZOREA.
I\u2019m from Corvo Island, Azores\u2014an extraordinary natural sanctuary that\u2019s also home to all our products.
My desire to make a positive impact on the world and society led me to graduate in Cardiac Physiology. After a few years working in hospitals in the Republic of Ireland, I started to feel unhappy and unmotivated, even though I knew my purpose was to care for and change my patients\u2019 lives. I needed to bring lightness to my life and find my true happiness. Amid the discomfort, stress, and anxiety, I began to notice a drastic change in my skin. Once healthy, it started to become sensitive, unbalanced, dry, and dull.<\/p>

I began searching for the causes and realized that my inner imbalance, together with some not-so-natural cosmetic ingredients, could be behind my problem. So I started studying cosmetics and learning to create formulas that cared for my skin\u2019s health. I got to know each ingredient and its benefits.
Without knowing it, in 2018 I was taking the first steps toward creating SAZOREA. After earning certification as an organic formulator from Formula Botanica, a multi-award-winning school in the UK, followed by a postgrad in Advanced Cosmetology and then a master\u2019s in Cosmetic Science and Dermopharmacy, I discovered my calling and my happy place.<\/p>

While I was still working at the hospital, I decided to create my own brand. But some difficulties and circumstances made me give up. However, the sudden loss of my grandmother and, a year later, my grandfather made me question my entire life again. Everything was so brief…<\/p>

These devastating events reignited my dormant passion, helped me lose the fear of stepping out of my comfort zone, and made me realize that life should be about who we want to be and about following our intuition and our dreams.<\/p>

I left everything behind, returned to the Azores, and decided to follow my intuition. Today, I lead a team of experienced Portuguese cosmetologists who create SAZOREA\u2019s formulas. Formulas powered by Azorean nature and backed by science, to bring you the best products that respect skin health.<\/p>

This brand changed my skin and my life\u2014and now it will make a difference in yours, believe me. Let yourself become your best version: more beautiful, more authentic, and more radiant\u2014from the inside out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
