Who doesn't like to receive a mystery box with products and things we love? And when it comes to cosmetics, many people are dying to see and win these products.
But what if organic and vegan products were more concerned with their production? That's how Veggie Box was born, a company in which the customer subscribes to a package and there is a monthly shipment of boxes with differentiated products every month. Are you interested? Check out the interview that the Eu sem Fronteiras team did with Samyra Cunha, who is one of the partners.
Eu sem Fronteiras – How did the desire to build the Veggie Box come about? How long has it been? When was that and why?
Samira Cunha – The idea arose after we noticed a lack of publicity in the organic and vegan cosmetics market and the difficulty of companies in marketing these products due to the lack of information to the final consumer. After realizing these gaps, in November 2015 we did a Crowdfunding, to buy the first Veggibox products and the development of our platform.

SC - What makes us fulfilled and happy is the satisfaction of our subscribers with our work. And fulfill our objective, which is to bring people closer to the knowledge of cruelty-free products.
