Granado

Granado, Brazil’s oldest pharmacy, first opened its doors in 1870 in Rio de Janeiro. The pharmacy’s owner, the Portuguese José Antonio Coxito Granado, produced remedies, cosmetics and other products made from plants, herbs and flowers native to Teresópolis, a mountainous region near Rio de Janeiro, where he owned a small farm. Committed to cultivating and discovering local natural solutions for various ailments, the company also compiled the first official register of Brazilian medicinal plants and herbs, eventually receiving the title of Official Pharmacy to the Brazilian Imperial Family. Over the years, the company expanded and in 1917 opened its first shop in Rio de Janeiro, followed by branches in London, Paris and Lisbon.
