In Brazil, there is increasing demand for 'produtos naturais' (natural products) and 'ecológicos' (ecological products) in supermarkets. In the USA, the wellness industry heavily markets low-chemical alternatives as part of a broader 'clean living' movement. The term appears frequently in marketing for organic foods, natural beauty products, and eco-friendly household cleaners across both cultures.
