The Foundress:
I was born in a village in the municipality of Alcobaça and, from an early age, I was attracted by the benefits of nature in terms of health and well-being. Maybe because I grew up watching my grandmothers and my mother use aromatic plants in their daily remedies. In 2008, I discovered that its application extended to the world of cosmetics and I started to study its potential and applications.
After attending the postgraduate course in Cosmetology at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Lisbon, I dedicated myself to the development and production of cosmetic and daily care products.
I believe in a simple, minimalist lifestyle and in a daily personal care routine, which incorporates ingredients that bring us well-being and help us connect with our interior, transforming simple gestures into unique experiences.
Thank you for being with me!
