COSTA BRAZIL is the sustainable beauty line developed by fashion designer Francisco Costa, based on the simple belief that the spirit of beauty is inextricably linked to the health of the earth.

The ceramist, surfer, and founder of Tamiko Claire Stoneware returned to the island of O'ahu, Hawaii, to reconnect with the ocean and the ancestral practices that have always inspired her.
Água Viva is Costa Brazil's new editorial series celebrating all those who live in harmony with the water. Curated and written by author and creative director Claudia Lebenthal, "Água Viva" profiles a selection of water women, water men, and the photographers who capture them. It's about their deep connection to the sea, surfing, and water sports, as well as the rituals that sustain them, both in and out of the water.
"At the core of all our products is the nutrient-rich trinity of Kaya, Cacay, and Breu. This singular, high-potency complex was developed by Francisco Costa after working with a team of scientists and local agriculturists to combine advanced modern technologies with the nourishing powers of the natural world. Kaya Oil is exclusive to Costa Brazil; this sustainably harvested superfood helps revitalize the appearance of your skin's texture, firmness, and natural luminescence." Francisco Costa, Founder of COSTA BRAZIL.
