Natura &Co annual report – 2021Our businesses Our major launches 64 65 Avon Artistique Monet Collection Inspired by Claude Monet’s gardens, the new collection in the Artistique family is available in two scents that bring the majesty of the iconic flowers in Giverny to life: Artistique Water Lily, which combines lotus flower, a pure peony ac- cord, and the delicate touch of blonde woods, and Artistique Wisteria, which blends the blossoming beauty of wisteria with the fresh garden feel of capucine and a soft musk finish. Ultra Lipsticks Avon reinvented its number one lipstick for richer color and creamier comfort across the 60 best-selling shades. The lipstick now comes in a modern and sophisticated shape, making it easi- er to achieve the precision of velvety matte or creamy finishes. The upgrad- ed formula boasts an exclusive blend of nourishing oils, including avocado oil, and reveals a new fragrance, mocha crème, for a comforting scent. Far Away Beyond The expert perfumers from Avon have created an extract using 100% upcycled vanilla beans, sustainably and ethically sourced from Mad- agascar, which would otherwise be discard- ed. The innovative double distillation process reveals new vanilla notes – sensual, smoky, and woody with an addictive salty-sweetness. The fragrance is enriched with sandalwood, juicy pear, and jasmine. ANEW Power Serum and ANEW Hydra Pro Vita-D Avon added two new products to its revo- lutionary, accessible ANEW skincare range. The ANEW Power Serum, which uses Avon’s award-winning patented Protinol™ technol- ogy, strengthens the skin’s foundation with a unique dual collagen boost; it also contains niacinamide, which helps renew skin at the surface. ANEW Hydra Pro Vita-D Cream is brimming with exclusive Pro Vita-D technology to help activate the skin's daily dose of vitamin D. This lightweight, oil-free formula melts into the skin to lock in 72-hour hydration and that healthy-looking glow. Natura &Co annual report – 2021Ourmajor launches Natura 66 Biōme Natura launched its first-ever body and hair shampoo bars, totally based on regenerative solutions. The palm oil used in its formula- tion is cultivated in a pioneering sustainable agroforestry system in Brazil. The packaging uses recyclable paper and no plastics, and consumers can also purchase a reusable dish to hold the bars, made from pioneering technology that captures methane gas and turns it into bioresin. The high-performance, ultra sensorial formulas are 100% of natural Ekos origin and vegan, with a unique fragrance Natura enhanced its entire vegan Ekos that combines wood notes, vetiver grass and range with new formulas, now three times copaíba, an essential oil from the Brazilian more potent, and introduced a new bio-ac- tive from the Amazon forest: tukumã. The Ekos Tukumã line comprises a series of bath and body care products with a powerful dual anti-aging action. While the crude tukumã oil combats the loss of hyaluronic acid in the skin, the tukumã butter increas- es its natural production by up to 77%. The tukumã palm regrows even after significant fires, regenerating the forest soil. biodiversity. Chronos Super Serum Wrinkle Reducer The new addition to the Chronos range brings together prebiotics extracted from jatobá and casearia – ingredients from Bra- zilian biodiversity – with a potent probiotic to create a triple-action care to combat all types of wrinkles, from deep to fine lines. Natura Chronos, which celebrated 35 years in 2021, pioneered the idea that women can have a healthier complexion by giving their skin precisely what it needs at each stage of life. Essencial Oud Vanilla This boasts the rare and sophisticated oud, which is extracted from the resinous heart- wood of the agar tree found in the dense forests of Southeast Asia. The essential oil is combined with the Vanilla bahiana, from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, now used for the first time in perfumery. The result is a warm, woody scent with a floral bouquet that com- bines rose, lily-of-the-valley, and jasmine, ideal for special occasions. Natura &Co annual report – 2021Ourmajor launches Natura &Co annual report – 2021 Our major launches 68 69 The Body Shop Body Butters In 1992, Dame Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop, created the first Body Butter in her own home kitchen. The rich formula she made transformed body moisturizer forever. Now, this iconic range is even better, providing a 96-hour nour- ishing effect. The new and improved Body Butters are registered with The Vegan Soci- ety and are made with at least 95% natural origin ingredients, including shea butter handcrafted in Ghana, with fully recycla- ble packaging sourced through The Body Shop’s Community Fair Trade program. White Musk The legendary White Musk collection cele- brated 40 years with the addition of three eau de parfum scents to be used in con- junction with the more subtle original for- mula. It was the first fragrance in the world to amplify the use of synthetic, cruelty-free musk as part of The Body Shop’s long-last- ing commitment to animal welfare. Now registered as vegan, the scent comes in a 100% recyclable bottle made from 42% re- cycled glass – and no unnecessary second- ary packaging. Hair care routines Designed to improve the appearance of damaged hair, this new range contains Vegan Silk Protein, a 100% plant-based pro- tein that replicates the chemical structure of the silk produced by the common Eu- ropean spider. The formulas are registered with The Vegan Society and contain at least 90% ingredients of natural origin, including tea tree and moringa, both used for the first time in hair care. The bottles and tubs are made with 100% recycled plastics and pay homage to the original “Boston round” packaging introduced by Anita Roddick in the 1980s. Refill, reuse, repeat The Body Shop is calling for a revolution to clean up the planet by making refills easy, convenient, and accessible to everyone. Already in 410 stores, it has an ambitious rollout plan to have refill stations in 800 stores by the end of 2022, inviting custom- ers to pop in, pick up an aluminum bottle, and refill, reuse, repeat. The product line-up includes hair care, shower gels, and hand washes from the best-loved ranges. The move revives the visionary service intro- duced in 1976 at the company’s first store in Brighton, England. Natura &Co annual report – 2021 Our major launches 70 71 Aesop Othertopias Crafted for those seeking complex and unique aromas, Aesop launched a trio of fragrances inspired by the juxtapositions found in certain spaces - environments that blur the boundaries of past and present, real and unreal, here and there. Each one of the fragrances, Miraceti (resinous, woody, spicy), Karst (fresh, herbaceous, marine) and Erémia (green, floral, citrus), respectively embody the worlds of the boat, the shore, and the wasteland, to challenge perceptions, invite a conversation with nature, and unlock reverie. Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Intense Serum Lightweight and rapidly absorbed, the serum is formulated to hydrate and fortify the skin with a pleasing matte finish. Suited to normal, combination, and sensitive skin, it is ideal for those living in urban envi- ronments and warm or humid climates. The product forms a breathable film on the skin, thanks to red algae and tara gum extracts. This invisible yet effective barrier helps to minimize the deposition of air- borne pollution particulates. The Adventurer Roll-Up The joint endeavor between Aesop and RÆBURN, the London-based responsible fashion upcycling pioneer, is a portable pouch for on-the-go hand care. Hand- crafted from pre-consumer recycled cotton, the sack features three purpose-fit pockets to house a trio of Aesop prod- ucts: Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash, Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm, and the new Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Mist. A co-branded cotton tape enables the pouch to be rolled up securely for neat portability inside any bag. Sensorium Within the granite-covered walls of Aesop Sydney, The Sensorium, invites visitors to engage with the alchemic art of per- fumery. The cocoon-like structure whose curvature makes reference to the waves of scent diffusing through the air, instils a sense of calm, attracting curious minds and inquisitive noses to the Fragrance Armoire - a cabinet which opens onto an inner world where customers can navi- gate Aesop’s growing range of fragrances. While there, their coat or scarf is imbued with their chosen scent in an infusion chamber.
