Aveda Products

When Tracey decided to create Grassroots a Salon with a conscious business model, she knew partnering with Aveda would help bring that vision to life.  

ABOUT AVEDA

Founded in 1978 in Minneapolis, MN, Aveda creates plant-based hair, skin and body products for beauty professionals and consumers. Aveda innovates in botanical technologies, combining the principles of modern science and Ayurveda, the ancient healing art of India, to develop performance-driven hair, skin and body products—made with pure flower and plant essences—that are created with respect for the Earth, and a comprehensive menu of ritual-based treatments for holistic beauty.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

Throughout the years, Aveda has pioneered new benchmarks of environmental responsibility in beauty.

In 2013, Aveda was honored with the first Legacy Leaders Award from Cradle to Cradle for its pioneering role in environmental leadership. Currently 11 products are Cradle To Cradle Certified .Since1999, Aveda’s annual Earth Month campaign, held each April, has raised more than $44 million to support environmental projects around the world.
