Granado

Rio de Janeiro


A classic-looking apothecary with a name that's been around since 1870, Granado incorporates Brazilian ingredients in its all-natural products. Favorites include the Castanha do Brasil line of moisturizers, shampoos and conditioners (made from chestnuts from the Amazon).

You'll also find bright, sweet-smelling soaps and bath gels (even for pets and babies), scented candles, perfumes, shaving products and retro-looking bags. There are other locations in Lapa, Ipanema and Leblon.
