THE PERSON BEHIND
THE SELECTION.
Before the shop, there was a diary. After Thailand, a certainty: only what is natural, traditional and effective makes it into the selection.
SIN TRA · THE EARLY YEARSI WAS BORN AT SEVEN MONTHS,
ON A RAINY WEDNESDAY.
I was born at seven months on a rainy Wednesday, under a moon growing in the sky. By chance I have always talked to it, as if it were an unconditional friend. I grew up in a village called Sintra, and the image that best defines those early years is me on my father's shoulders, walking through the bucolic village that was green on every side.
I have always tried to give feelings and sensations a shape. When I learned to write, I began to record my days in a diary; over the years I ended up gathering thirteen written books. I have always loved wandering through words — eloquent is the one who speaks, but inside me there is a Self that speaks constantly.
FROM THE DIARY TO THE BLOG.
FROM THE BLOG TO THE SHOP.
I love cycling, walking in the bush, photography, crafts, swapping night for day, animals — and I cannot live without them. I believe in a better world and I truly believe we can make changes. I hold a positive outlook and believe we create what we think about.
I studied Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations. I started with a vocational course equivalent to year 12 and then went on to university in the same field. I worked several times in my area of study, but I quickly felt unsatisfied — as students we seem to be in a mass-production factory, filling unstimulating jobs, reductive and empty of substance.
That is when, in a very natural and organic way, I realised that my blog allowed me to be a complete Marketing professional: I could create my own brand, design a logo, think about a visual identity and write about the topics I loved most. And since June 2011 the Neuza Mariano blog has been growing, has earned its identity and taken on a leading role in my life.

BONS INGREDIENTES.
RECEITAS ANTIGAS.
Depois de viver na Tailândia durante 9 anos da minha vida, decidi reabrir a loja com um único foco: produtos naturais tailandeses — cosmética, saúde e bem-estar. Adoro a tecnologia da cosmética moderna (o K-beauty e a inovação asiática são fantásticos), mas aprendi uma coisa: nenhuma boa cosmética existe sem bons ingredientes. E a Tailândia tem alguns dos melhores do mundo.
O clima tropical e séculos de medicina tradicional fizeram do país um verdadeiro celeiro de botânicos: cúrcuma, arroz jasmim, coco, tamarindo, mangostão, chá azul, jasmim, gengibre e plai, centella asiática, aloe vera, cânfora… ingredientes hoje estudados e procurados pelas maiores marcas de cosmética do mundo.
A experiência ensinou-me outra lição: muitas vezes, são os produtos tradicionais, de receitas antigas e ingredientes premium — sem hype e sem químicas desnecessárias — os que mais funcionam. O Tiger Balm, que temos na loja, é um bom exemplo: criado em 1870 e vendido há mais de 100 anos em mais de 100 países, continua a ser feito como sempre — na versão tailandesa, o primeiro ingrediente do rótulo é a cânfora (25%), um clássico bálsamo aromático usado há séculos. E o “Fah Talai Jone”, a erva amarga da medicina tradicional tailandesa que usamos na nossa pasta de dentes herbal, chegou a ser aprovada pelo próprio governo tailandês. Tradição reconhecida, ingrediente a ingrediente.
Por isso, aqui só encontra o que eu escolheria para mim: natural, tradicional, eficaz.
