Granado

Granado, Brazil’s oldest pharmacy, first opened its doors in 1870 in Rio de Janeiro. The owner of the apothecary, Portuguese José Antonio Coxito Granado, produced remedies, cosmetics and other products. All of Granado’s offerings were made from plants, herbs and native flowers of Teresópolis, a mountainous region where he had a small farm. The company also compiled the first official register of Brazilian medicinal plants and herbs. After over 150 years, Granado perfumes are now a treasured part of Brazilian heritage.
