| Verdict | Natura's Amazonian face wash — built around pitanga (Surinam cherry), a Brazilian native superfruit rich in vitamins A and C, lycopene, and antioxidant carotenoids. The Ekos Pitanga line targets combination-to-oily skin with a gel cleanser that removes excess oil and brightens without stripping. Stabilized vitamin C (ascorbyl glucoside) adds brightening, glycerin maintains hydration, and the pitanga fruit extract provides the antioxidant base. Like all Ekos products, the pitanga fruit is sourced through Natura's community supply chain from Brazilian family farms. B Corp certified, vegan, cruelty-free. At $16 for 150ml, this is an accessible daily cleanser with genuine Amazonian actives — not just exotic marketing. | 100-year-old Brazilian rose-scented bar soap — packaged in iconic black and gold, the kind of thing tourists pack home from Rio. |
