What Botanik Kosmetics does

Botanik Kosmetics Ltda. is a Brazilian family-owned cosmetics manufacturer founded in 1997 and headquartered in Campo Bom, Rio Grande do Sul. The company operates a 1,500m² purpose-built, semi-automated manufacturing facility compliant with GMP standards and holding AFE/MS operating authorization Nº 2.03.079-0 from ANVISA, with additional MAPA registration enabling veterinary cosmetics production. Production capacity is flexible, ranging from 100 to 100,000 units per day across equipment starting from 1ml volumetric capacity. The catalog comprises more than 257 SKUs spanning facial, body, and hair care, plus aromatizers, reed diffusers, essences, antiseptic gels, massage creams, and galenic bases.

The company runs three distinct revenue streams. The direct-to-consumer arm sells own-brand products (BTNK, Nabelle, Gojiberry, Brazil Gold, Black Mask, Olive, Brilho Pérola, Snake Venom) through botanik.com.br with WhatsApp consultation support, credit card installments up to 12x, bank slip payments, and nationwide Correios shipping. The B2B contract manufacturing arm ("terceirização") serves external brands across cosmetics, personal care, hygiene, perfumery, and veterinary categories under three outsourcing tiers (labor only; labor plus raw materials; full-service including packaging), with a minimum production order of 100 units. A third wholesale stream distributes 46 pre-formulated galenic bases in 1kg to 4.5kg containers to compounding pharmacies. Production runs on 100% renewable energy.

The business is privately held as a Ltda. with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or institutional funding. Cristina Lewis Foerster serves as Technical Director (Diretora Técnica, CRF/4414). Distribution is Brazil-domestic only, with no international footprint disclosed. Marketing relies on the e-commerce storefront supplemented by Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp messaging, and email newsletter outreach.
