About

Sol de Janeiro is more than a beauty brand - it's a celebration of body joy and Brazilian beauty culture. Founded in 2015 by CEO Heela Yang, the company embodies warmth and inclusivity, with three founders from Korea, USA, and Brazil bringing diverse cultural perspectives to everything they create. The team creates cruelty-free, clinically effective skincare, body care, and fragrance products made in the USA from globally sourced ingredients, all while fostering a culture that embraces diversity and celebrates differences.

Headquartered in New York with teams across Paris, London, and Germany, Sol de Janeiro has grown from a digitally native startup to one of Sephora's top-selling brands - earning recognition as one of TIME100's Most Influential Companies and Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies. The brand's commitment to excellence extends beyond products to create an exceptional workplace where team members can thrive while delivering award-winning formulations that transport customers to the beaches of Brazil through luscious textures and transportive scents.
