Beauty brand Natura taps into bioelectric signals of Amazon trees for its first sound logo

Brazilian beauty giant Natura has unveiled its first-ever sonic identity, created by capturing and transforming the electrical pulses of Amazon rainforest trees into melody. Developed in partnership with Africa Creative and sound design studio Soundthinkers, the initiative leverages proprietary technology to translate bioelectric signals of native trees into a distinctive audio signature that will be used across the brand's communications.

The process involved sticking sensors on trees to record their electrical signals, which were then analyzed across parameters like tempo, tonality and timbre. The resulting soundmark aims to reflect Natura's commitment to biodiversity — the brand is a founding member of the Union for Ethical BioTrade — and to 'Bem Estar' (wellbeing) while forging a deeper sensory connection with its audience. For other brands looking to strengthen their sustainability messaging, the project shows how innovation can align environmental commitments with consumer touchpoints in ways that feel both tangible and emotionally resonant.
