There are two things that people blessed with curly hair want. The first is, of course, gorgeous bouncing curls. The second is to be free from frizz. The whole point of Aveda’s Be Curly™ franchise is to deliver on both counts, and in an effort to make it easier and more effective than ever before they’ve added two new products to the range: Be Curly™ Curl Controller and Be Curly™ Curl Enhancing Hairspray. But, not only have they offered a helping hand to curl conscious customers, there are also working direct with an indigenous women’s co-op in Brazil to ensure that the key ingredients are ethically sourced.

More and more, companies are being forced to consider how ethical their products are. Clients and consumers are becoming pretty picky about what they’ll turn a blind eye to and what they’ll avoid at all costs. It’s not just about whether products are tested on animals anymore, it’s about whether ingredients are renewable, who’s farming them, who’s selling them and, most importantly, who’s getting rich off it (unfortunately, not always the same people!)

Aveda’s new Be Curly™ Curl Controller contains organic Babassu Oil. This key ingredient works to smooth and elongate curls, fight frizz and condition hair leaving soft, touchable curls with natural movement in its wake. It’s also certified-organic and sustainably sourced from an indigenous women’s co-op in Brazil. What’s more, Aveda purchase the oil directly from the women’s collective to ensure fair compensation to the supplier and environmental preservation.

Pat Peterson, Executive Director of Aveda Research & Development says, "Another benefit of using plant-derived ingredients is their minimal impact on the Earth. Modern agriculture is the number one cause of water pollution globally; the purchase of organic products supports environmentally-conscious farming—and it makes good scientific and business sense to think about sustainability. By supporting organic farming, companies and consumers create demand for high quality products and ingredients that support environmentally responsible local farms."

Real beauty must always be responsible and perhaps we should be asking more of beauty manufacturers?

Until then…geek on!
