AVEDA’S PROMISE TO YOU

Aveda strives to eliminate petrochemicals whenever possible in all Aveda products. Efforts have been made to eliminate petroleum-derived oils and waxes from all base formulas. To ensure the authenticity, integrity and quality of ingredients, Aveda continually searches the world for plants that are organically grown in a sustainable manner.

 

 

AVEDA MAKEUP

Aveda products are different. Aveda has taken beautiful hues, added skin-loving ingredients, and subtracted the petroleum-based ingredients found in leading cosmetics to create the Aveda Makeup collection.

Aveda has included naturally derived colorants that are true to life. Finally, antioxidants in the form of vitamins have been added to fight environmental aggressors keeping skin looking beautiful longer.

Aveda standards are high and we have committed ourselves to them. Aveda’s goal is to help decrease petrochemical pollutants by using ingredients that are good for you and have a minimal impact on the Earth’s environment.

NON AVEDA APPROVED INGREDIENTS

Aveda firmly believes that we will succeed in our goal by striving to use what we call green ingredients in our products whenever possible. Our definition of a green ingredient requires that it meet at least one of the following criteria:
  • Naturally derived, which we define to be those for which more than 50% of the molecule comes from a plant, non-petroleum mineral, water, or some other natural source.
  • Certified organic.
  • Sourced from sustainable or renewable plant-based origins, and does not negatively impact the ecosystems from which they are sourced.
