As it nears its tenth year, the Canadian label is launching in Brazil solely at Sephora—and may soon inaugurate its own store within the nation.

Considering the label’s pre-existing recognition there, growing into the nation felt like a fitting subsequent action,” the executive clarifies.

The Brazilian skincare sphere presents significant possibilities—but it’s also intensely competitive, showcasing numerous well-known indigenous competitors. To distinguish The Ordinary, Jesper Rasmussen is relying on data: clinically validated compositions, established effectiveness, and rates that stay within reasonable bounds.
“Confronted with the array of choices provided in the marketplace, the potency of our formulations remains our foremost benefit. Our communication endeavors to enlighten the community, enabling them to grasp how to fashion a skincare regimen, recognizing precisely what they are administering to their complexion. All our offerings are crafted by a scientific group comprising more than 150 specialists in our dedicated laboratories, situated within our central office in Toronto. Our capacity to develop and innovate our items internally is precisely what distinguishes us from our rivals.”
To maintain costs within reach, The Ordinary has chosen to package a portion of its Canadian-produced goods in Brazil. “This aids us in averting the transfer of added expenses to consumers. We’ve committed substantial endeavor to guarantee our offerings remain economical, even as we venture into a fresh sphere,” Rasmussen explains.
Top sellers launch solely at Sephora
The Estée Lauder Companies, the brand’s parent organization, will oversee The Ordinary’s Brazilian circulation. A grouping of its most well-received products will debut solely at Sephora, the nation’s premier luxury beauty purveyor, both at physical locations and digitally.

We anticipate this alliance will enable us to engage with an even broader demographic in Brazil,” underscores the label’s Global Brand President. He includes that the brand’s chief goal is to cultivate awareness domestically and persuade both doubters and loyal skincare devotees.
The label, which also manages its own storefronts in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, may likewise contemplate this avenue in Brazil. “We are continually seeking to enlarge and remain as obtainable as conceivable in novel spheres. We are guided by prospects and we would be thrilled to inaugurate a The Ordinary store in Brazil imminently,” Jesper Rasmussen concludes.
