Avalon Organics®. Avalon Organics' commitment to organic agriculture extends beyond personal care formulation to a passion for home-grown sustainability, a cleaner global environment and, of course, personal health. Avalon Organics' dedication to these ideals is summarised in their pledge, Consciousness in Cosmetics®: To honor our bodies and the world we live in by creating an extraordinary range of truly effective personal care products that are inherently pure, safe and certified to the NSF/ANSI 305 Standard for Personal Care Products Containing Organic Ingredients. Each one of the Avalon Organics' products is made with organic ingredients, including botanicals, extracts and essential oils. Avalon Organics' honour ourselves, our planet and their users with the Consciousness in Cosmetics® promise. Avalon Organics urge you to take time to honour yourself everyday.

Since 1994, Avalon Organics have worked diligently to create exceptionally pure and effective personal care products. Avalon Organics are inspired by organic agriculture and the ongoing struggle towards true sustainability. Avalon Organics are humbled by a profound respect for the life of all things, as demonstrated by their use of 100% vegetarian ingredients and their rejection of animal testing at any level. To Avalon Organics, honoring the body with Consciousness in Cosmetics® is a guiding principle in their continuous journey to make safe, natural and effective products. The road from 1994 to today has been exciting and meaningful. But 2012 marked their most profoundly rewarding period, as they announced the total reformulation of the brand so that every product Avalon Organics make could be certified to the NSF/ANSI 305 Standard for Personal Care Products Containing Organic Ingredients or the USDA National Organic Program. As Avalon Organics continue their journey, they are grateful for the privilege of sharing their body care formulas with you. Avalon Organics are humbled by this opportunity; it inspires them to create formulas that are satisfying, effective and conscious of your health and the environment we share together.

Avalon Organics Mission

Consciousness in Cosmetics®. Through an integrated formulation strategy that governs Avalon Organics' every choice -- from ingredients to manufacturing to packaging and distribution systems -- Avalon Organics seek to respect the environment and the health and well-being of their consumers and the personal care industry.

First and foremost Avalon Organics' purpose is to create an extraordinary range of truly effective personal care products that are inherently pure, safe and certified to the NSF/ANSI 305 Standard for Personal Care Products Containing Organic Ingredients.

Formulated without parabens, harsh preservatives, synthetic fragrances, artificial colors, phthalates, or potentially harmful sulfates, Avalon Organics products are made with 100% vegetarian, science-based nutrients and natural botanicals, and are designed to reflect your need for a pure and effective line of personal care products.

Additionally, Avalon Organics' products are created with organic agriculture and long-term sustainability in mind. Choosing ingredients such as organic plant oils and organic botanical extracts serves a two-fold purpose: Avalon Organics believe that pure ingredients help us make the best safe and effective formulations and using organic material encourages a measurable expansion of organic acreage cultivation.

Environmental Committment

Avalon Organics is committed to reducing their ecological footprint to help preserve the planet, now and for future generations. Recognising the need to be good stewards of all natural resources, they are dedicated to reducing, reusing and recycling across all areas of their business and they continuously look for new ways to help protect our planet, from the field to the factory to the shelf.

Packaging Choices. Avalon Organics use environmentally friendly packaging and have a corporate initiative to continually seek out opportunities to further their sustainability and reduce their environmental impact. All of Avalon Organics' packaging is recyclable and they deliberately seek out only containers made from materials that are readily accepted by most curbside recycling programs. A majority of their plastic bottles are made from 100% post consumer resin and Avalon Orgnaics strive to maximize the use of post consumer material in all of their containers. This creates a second use for millions of plastic bottles annually that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Avalon Organics' unit cartons are made with 80% post consumer material and the paperboard is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, assuring that only responsibly sourced virgin and recycled fibre is used in its creation.

Please help Avalon Organics reduce landfill space and save precious resources by recycling all of your household packaging whenever possible. Together we can create a more sustainable future.

Carbon Footprint. Avalon Organics incessantly look for new ways to reduce their environmental impact. Whenever possible, they source packaging components and ingredients locally to reduce the carbon cost of transportation. Simple choices, like sourcing their containers from suppliers near their California manufacturing facility (rather than from Asia as so many personal care manufacturers do) can make a great difference in reducing carbon emissions.

Avalon Organics strive to run their business in a manner that promotes long-term solutions to environmental problems, maintains the integrity of natural ecosystems, and conserves the quality of air, water, and soil for our children's children.
