A day spent exploring, walking, and enjoying life is delightful. Even better is finding, along the way, a true oasis to relax the body, rest your feet, and calm the soul. It’s not a mirage, it’s Zaetê Cosmética, which opened its first store on the famous Rua das Pedras, in Búzios, a charming coastal town in Brazil known for its beaches and bohemian atmosphere. Rua das Pedras, or “Street of Stones”, is the heart of Búzios’ vibrant downtown, lined with boutiques, cafés, and art galleries. It’s the kind of place where tourists stroll, sipping caipirinhas and soaking in the sunset. In this picturesque setting, Zaetê welcomes customers into a fragrant little paradise filled with everything they need: warmth, rest, and an unforgettable foot soak. The business needed a name and visual identity to kick things off.
Everything starts with the name, derived from “Aintizae,” an Arabic word meaning “extract.” From that came Zaetê, which can be interpreted as “true extract,” a nod to the purity and potency of its undiluted, high-quality products. The logotype features expressive, hand-drawn lettering. The letter Z stands out, gently cradling the “feet” of the other letters, a visual metaphor for care and comfort. The crossbar of the T embraces the top of the word, reinforcing the feeling of closeness and attention. The color palette is fresh and natural: soft sand and deep blue as neutrals, with rich aromatic accents that reflect the brand’s high-quality natural ingredients. These are some of the feelings that bring Zaetê Cosmética to life, the Beloved Brand of this natural cosmetics store, created to nurture the body and soul with care, quality, and a touch of luxury.






“We really loved the result and the final presentation too. We believe deeply in this project! And we believe that, together with you, we reached a great outcome. The products look beautiful and are of the highest quality. They’re a big success! Thank you so much!”
