| Verdict | Principia is Brazil's minimalist-actives indie — the Brazilian counterpart to The Inkey List or Naturium — and the Ácidos Hialurônicos is their HA hero. Four molecular weights of hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, raw Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate) plus panthenol — and almost nothing else. 13-ingredient INCI for R$60 ($12). Brazilian indie at its best. | Sallve is Brazil's leading clean-actives indie brand and the Sérum Antiacne is their acne workhorse. 2% salicylic acid, niacinamide, tea tree leaf oil, willow bark extract for natural BHA support, plus buchu (Barosma Betulina) — a South American botanical that's uncommon outside Brazil. Alcohol-free, fragrance-free formula. |
