Made from Amazonian bioactives, Natura Ekos bar soaps needed a new packaging concept that would set them apart and enhance the care rituals they each offer—creamy, exfoliating, refreshing, providing multisensory experiences while also conveying, on the boxes, the story of Ekos’ soap-making and its connection with Amazonian communities. The Natura Ekos Soaps product line has four products.
Packaging design for a Natura product line, a company whose identity is respect for nature
I worked on the research and development of the packaging design for the Natura Ekos Sabonetes product line.
Inspired by indigenous art, four distinctive patterns were created to differentiate the soaps and emphasize the power and characteristics of each product: 100% plant-based, free from animal fats, and made with sustainably extracted oils from the Amazon, contributing to the preservation of the rainforest. Besides the packaging, I also developed several pieces for various other media.
Project Outcome
Key points
I worked on developing a series of packages for a line of products from the Natura company, whose main identity and vision is preserving nature and conscious, sustainable extraction. The result was packaging with a wealth of detail and, at the same time, with products that were easy to identify and a story of Amazonian power contained in each of its elements.
What I learned
The project involved in-depth research on indigenous art, its designs, and their meanings so that we could develop graphics that would illustrate the packaging in a way that makes them desirable as gifts, carry the entire narrative that Ekos conveys through its soap-making, and inspire new ways of experiencing the Amazon.
I'm always looking for new challenges, projects and creative partnerships. Shall we talk?
Feel free to contact me. I love coffee and good conversations!
