121,400,000 Common Shares

Natura &Co Holding S.A.

(Incorporated in the Federative Republic of Brazil)

We are offering common shares in a global offering, which consists of an international offering in the

United States and other countries outside the Federative Republic of Brazil, or Brazil, and a concurrent offering in Brazil. In the aggregate, 121,400,000 new common shares, which may be represented by American Depositary Shares, or the ADSs, are being offered by us in the global offering. Each ADS represents two common shares. The offering of the ADSs is being underwritten by the international underwriters named in this prospectus supplement. The common shares purchased by investors outside Brazil will be settled in Brazil and paid for in reais, and underwritten by the Brazilian placement agents named elsewhere is this prospectus supplement. The closings of the international and Brazilian offerings are conditioned upon each other.

Holders of our common shares as of September 29, 2020 will be given the opportunity to subscribe for common shares in the Brazilian offering on a priority basis at the public offering price. The priority subscription procedure is not being made available to holders of ADSs. An ADS holder that wishes to be eligible for priority subscription will be required to make the necessary arrangements to cancel such holder's ADSs and take delivery of the underlying common shares in a Brazilian account. See "The Offering-Priority subscription."

ADSs representing our common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol "NTCO." The closing price of the ADSs on the NYSE on September 30, 2020 was U.S.$18.21 per ADS. Our common shares are listed and trade on the Novo Mercado segment of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A.-Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão), or the B3, under the symbol "NTCO3." The closing price of the common shares on the B3 on September 30, 2020 was R$51.13 per share.

Investing in our common shares and ADSs involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-26 of this prospectus supplement.
