Naturally derived ingredients paired with ethical sustainability practices are the foundation of Aveda. Known primarily for hair care products, Aveda also has great skin care products that contain natural organic ingredients. Aveda describes its products as having “green ingredients.” All ingredients are organic and plant-based from sustainable or renewable sources. Aveda does not include ingredients from sources that are endangered and does not practice animal testing.
All-Sensitive Body Formula
Aveda’s All-Sensitive Body Formula is designed for sensitive skin. Organic jojoba oil works by sealing in the skin’s natural moisture. Vitamins A and E are added to nourish the skin from head to toe.
Aveda Hand Relief
The two key ingredients in Aveda Hand Relief Cream are licorice extract and meadowfoam seed oil. Commonly found in cough syrup as an expectorant, licorice extract also has a soothing aroma. Meadowfoam seed oil is widely used in manufacturing cosmetics and hair care products. Easily absorbed by the skin, meadowfoam seed oil may help reduce wrinkles and signs of aging. Vitamins A and E are also added to increase the antioxidant content.
Tourmaline Charged Exfoliating Cleanser
Aveda’s Tourmaline Charged Exfoliating Cleanser contains the mineral tourmaline, which Aveda says improves the skin’s luminosity by enhancing the action of the plant-based ingredients. Aveda also manufactures a moisturizer called Tourmaline Charged Hydrating Cream. It features a blend of 12 organic plant derivatives and 10 forms of natural antioxidants.
Botanical Kinetics Exfoliant
Two important ingredients in Aveda’s Botanical Kinetics Exfoliant are chamomile and lavender. Both are known for their relaxing qualities. When applied to the skin, chamomile and lavender oils soothe inflammation. Other ingredients in Botanical Kinetics Exfoliant are lemon balm and meadowsweet. The aroma of lemon balm is energizing. The traditional use of meadowsweet is for coughs and colds, but since it contains naturally occurring salicylic acid, it is a good ingredient in a skin care product. Witch hazel, which has antiseptic properties, is another key ingredient in this exfoliant.
