Aveda


Aveda is a manufacturer of botanical based hair and skin care products. They have been around since 1979 and only available in salons or on their on-line store ( as far as I am aware ).  I have worked at three Aveda Total Concept Salons in the past. This is where I was first introduced to their line of all natural products and have used them ever since.  This is probably how my interest in all natural products began come to think of it.

Personally, I have used their hair care and makeup. I love the cherry almond bark conditioner and sassafras lipstick. Two of my favorites! Aveda is one of the very first companies to use all natural ingredients, responsible packaging, renewable energy, and show a true passion for staying true to their roots. They are committed to using sustainable ingredients and using the latest technology and science to create innovative plant based products.
Not only do they lead the pack in ingenuity but they also give back in projects like Earth Fund, which helps address the following threats to global biodiversity.

1.     Global Climate Change
2.     Loss of species and habitat destruction
3.     Toxins in the environment
4.     Waste generation
5.     Air pollution



They also support breast cancer awareness and recycling programs in many communities.

Check out their products at a local salon or visit their website if you can. Aveda is truly an inspiring company.

Warm regards and love –
