BREAST CANCER

AWARENESS

It’s #TimeToEndBreastCancer. Since it’s the most common form of cancer in women worldwide, almost everyone knows someone touched by it, and the need for a cure is more important than ever. That’s why every year during breast cancer awareness month, we help support cruelty free breast cancer research with our limited-edition hand relief™ moisturizing creme and raise money with our local fundraisers and raffles.

EARTH MONTH IS

EVERY MONTH

Water is an essential lifeforce, which is why we are passionate about preserving and protecting clean water. Over the last twenty years, Aveda raised over $67M for hundreds of environmental organizations dedicated to providing clean water globally and protecting clean water locally. Each year we partner with the Natural Resources Council of Maine to showcase our students work in a blue carpet "trashion show". all proceeds and fundraising is donated to the NRCM. As an institute, we've raised over $30,000.

CRUELTY FREE SINCE DAY 1 AND

NOW 100 PERCENT VEGAN

We’ve been a cruelty-free company since our inception in 1978, never testing our formulas on animals. Today, the Aveda headquarters is home to 100,000 honeybees, an essential pollinator. We’ve provided our honeybee friends with access to pesticide-free food, shelter and water, earning our honeybee facility the designation of wildlife habitat by the national wildlife federation. Recently, we transitioned to 100% vegan formulation, removing all animal byproducts from our formulas and products. This includes beeswax, an ingredient commonly found in conventional beauty products.
