Cativa Natureza
Cativa Natureza is the Brazilian indie clean-beauty brand that takes its sustainability claims seriously — Brazilian native botanicals, refillable packaging, ECOCERT-adjacent formulation standards. The skincare range covers daily basics (cleansers, moisturizers, sun protection) with a clear preference for buriti, açaí, and Amazonian botanicals. Mid-tier pricing, distribution mostly across Brazilian clean-beauty retailers.
Pros
- ✓ Strong sustainability credentials
- ✓ Brazilian Amazonian botanicals
- ✓ Refillable packaging
- ✓ Genuine clean-formulation rigor
Cons
- ✗ Distribution outside Brazil is limited
- ✗ Branding feels niche
- ✗ Mid-tier pricing for clean beauty
Kahi
Kahi is the K-beauty brand built around a single product that turned into a Korean kitchen-table essential — the Multi Balm. A solid stick balm formulated for face, hands, lips, and dry-elbow rescue, beloved by Korean actress Kim Go-eun and quietly recommended by every K-beauty fan you've ever met. The brand has expanded since, but the multi-balm is still the entry point.
Pros
- ✓ Multi-use stick format
- ✓ Celebrity-backed credibility
- ✓ Affordable enough for daily
- ✓ Cult Olive Young follow-up product
Cons
- ✗ Single-hero-product brand
