I'd like to know what is the name of the part of body between the nose and lip in portuguese.

skin between nose and lip

I guess that exists some scientific term that I can find in google, but I'm looking for the popular name.

Here is a similar question in English SE where i get the image.

From the translation of philtrum, the English word for the area between the nose and upper lip, I discovered it is called Filtro Labial in Portuguese.

A quick search about this term showed a few results like this one in Wikipedia or this one (about bizarre names for human body parts), but those 2 links are not authoritative resources on anatomy I'm not an expert, so I'm not sure where to look for an official name.

One could use "buço", by extension.

Definition: the hair above the upper lip in men and some women.
