ABOUT US
Terrain is a clean, premium skincare brand. Our ingredients are wildly pure, potent plant oils sourced directly from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, and our packaging is fully compostable or recyclable. We’re inspired by a more raw form of beauty, one that invites us on a journey toward nourishment beyond the skin.
Founder Story
Terrain came to life because of my personal shift from depletion to nourishment. My journey through a cancer diagnosis led me to seek what it meant to be well. After leaving a successful career in corporate marketing, I ventured to the heart of my home country—the Brazilian Amazon. There, I met women who introduced me to raw plant ingredients that have been nourishing their people—our people—for hundreds of years. Plant oils with unique properties, like Buriti, an ingredient in LUZ Face Oil, which naturally brightens the skin and boosts SPF, or Copaíba Oil, a key ingredient in CALMA Lotion Bar, which naturally soothes the skin and calms the nervous system.
It was easy to fall in love with these plant oils. After all, they are highly effective not only in deeply moisturizing by locking in the skin's natural moisture but also in infusing the skin with a high concentration of nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants.
I knew that these and other discoveries were meant to be shared, as I was not alone in wanting products that were truly pure and real.
The result was products that are clean both inside and out. We pursue nature while protecting it, and our products come in fully recyclable or compostable packaging—like our golden baskets, which are handwoven by women artisans in a remote area of Brazil using the only plant on earth that is naturally golden.
It is a privilege to share something authentic that not only deeply nourishes the skin but also uplifts communities and protects forests.
Our invitation is for a journey toward exactly that—a new kind of beauty, one that is both raw and golden. I’m so glad you’re here for it!
With amor,
