ABOUT AUBREY ORGANICS
 Why use something synthetic when
something natural works so much better? That's the practical philosophy
behind every Aubrey Organics® product. This simple idea has been the
cornerstone of our pioneering company since the beginning. Read our
labels. You’ll find only the finest herbals and plant extracts in their
most natural form, and no synthetic additives or petrochemicals of any
kind in any of our products.In 1994 our company became the first
personal care manufacturer to be certified as an organic processor by
Quality Assurance International of San Diego, California. This means
that our factory—where we create our products—is regularly inspected and
certified as a manufacturing facility where organic ingredients are
handled according to standards set by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s National Organic Program.We buy only the purest natural and
organic ingredients from fair trade sources, and use them in
handcrafted, all-natural products that are good for you and good for the
Earth. It is this commitment that has made Aubrey Organics the finest
hair, skin and body care products manufacturer and an industry leader
with an impressive list of “firsts.” When Aubrey Hampton first
mixed ground ginger, peppermint and eucalyptus leaf into a base of
coconut oil in 1967, he never imagined that the batch of bath liquid he
created to help combat those harsh New York City winters would change
the personal care industry forever. Forty years and more than 200
products later, Aubrey Organics®, the company he founded, remains the
leader in natural hair, skin and body care, with products sold in more
than 4500 retailers throughout the world.

Their mission is to
provide all-natural, safe and effective
personal care and lifestyle products to the
consumer. They offer a true and authentic
alternative to many of the mass produced
synthetic products on the market today. They
craft only the highest quality all-natural
products without compromise as to
ingredients, packaging or cost.
They believe in education and transparency.
A customer is best able to make an educated
and correct purchasing decision only when
armed with true and valued information. Part
of their core purpose is to provide that
information as best as they can.
Aubrey Hampton was
born on an organic farm in rural Indiana and
was educated in New York City. He learned,
from the age of nine, how to make herbal
cosmetics from his mother. A phytochemist
and herbalist, he founded Aubrey Organics®
in 1967 with two natural products he
formulated in his own kitchen. Since
then he has created over 200 hair, skin and
body care products, which are
internationally recognized as the most
natural herbal products available.
Aubrey still personally creates every
formula, and carefully oversees the
manufacturing of each product that bears his
name. A dedicated animal rights
activist, he is strongly committed to
operating a cruelty-free company. This
commitment led to his being named “Activist
of the Year” in 1990 by the Culture and
Animals Foundation. He is the author
of many best-selling health and beauty
books, including Natural Organic Hair and
Skin Care (now in its sixth printing),
What’s in Your Cosmetics, and The Take
Charge Beauty Book (co-authored with his
wife, Susan Hussey).
Aubrey Organics is
sulfite free.
Their Mission Statement:
Our
mission is to provide all-natural, safe and effective personal
care and lifestyle products to the consumer. We offer a true and
authentic alternative to many of the mass produced synthetic products on
the market today. We craft only the highest quality all-natural
products without compromise as to ingredients, packaging or cost.
We believe in education and transparency. A
customer is best able to make an educated and correct purchasing
decision only when armed with true and valued information. Part of our
core purpose is to provide that information as best as we can. What they Do:
At Aubrey Organics we believe great ingredients
make great products. This is the simple philosophy at the heart of the
pioneering personal care company Aubrey Hampton founded over 40 years
ago. Since the very beginning, the high standards we set for ourselves
have not changed. We use only the finest herbal, plant extracts and
natural vitamins in all of our products. You will find no paraben
preservatives, no petrochemicals, no artificial colors or fragrances of
any kind. Today Aubrey Organics remains committed to making healthy,
natural products based on herbal traditions that, in many cases, date
back thousands of years. We believe that everything we know about hair
and skin care we learned from nature first. How They Do It:
Each and every product is
personally formulated by Aubrey himself. All products are creatively
designed to work in harmony with nature. This fine balance of
performance and nature is truly an art… and a little science.
Next comes the sourcing of ingredients. We will accept only the
highest quality and purest of ingredients from around the world. Each
ingredient is tested to ensure it meets our high standards for purity
and efficacy.
We then mix our products the old-fashioned way, by hand (as you
might in your kitchen). Every product is handcrafted in small batches of
50 gallons or less for greater quality control. And there is always a
watchful set of eyes during the manufacturing phase.
Our products never sit around on warehouse shelves — they are
shipped straight from our manufacturing plant to you. This ensures
freshness when they arrive at your door.
Remember, there
is nothing to be found in an Aubrey Organics product that does not come
from nature. Their Commitment:
To the People: Our commitment to people
is profound. We believe that we are truly citizens of the world and
accept the responsibilities that accompany that. We work with farm
communities, suppliers and businesses from around the world. It might be
by sponsoring organic agriculture in Honduras, overseeing the
development of herbs in Japan, or explaining the importance of organic
farming techniques in Ghana.
At the same time we understand and believe that charity begins at
home. We are greatly tied into our local community. It all starts with
our employees. We believe in fair pay, safe working conditions, and use
an ethical approach when handling all issues. All our employees are
important, have a voice, and are listened to. The smallest of
suggestions could lead to the largest discoveries.
We support many charities, whether it is an AIDS hostel in
Vancouver, Canada, or a homeless shelter in downtown Tampa. We do not
discriminate. We are actively engaged in and support the performing arts
and encourage participation.
We believe the best accomplishment of a successful organization is
to make the world a little better, cleaner and brighter for tomorrow’s
people. To the Earth: Our commitment to the Earth is
not new. We have lived this commitment heart and soul for over 40 years
now. It is nothing new to us, and certainly not a trend or a bandwagon
we recently jumped on. It is, and has always been our way of life.
Our purpose is to leave the Earth in better shape than it is
today. From the all-natural ingredients in our products, to the
biodegradable, recyclable and recycled packaging we use, we are careful
to a fault. Profit is never the overriding factor in our packaging or
ingredient decision-making. We use sustainable, plant-based ingredients
in all of our products. We never use petrochemicals or other
non-sustainable ingredients. All our print materials are produced on
recycled paper and are 100% recyclable. From start to finish, we
understand the importance of the product life cycle. The final
disposition of a product is as important as its inception. All of our
formulations are biodegradable.
We wholeheartedly support sustainable, natural and/or organic
farming techniques. We always source certified organic ingredients
whenever possible without concern for cost.
We understand that future generations are counting on us to be
stewards of the Earth. We need to provide for them a clean, safe and
non-toxic world where all can live in health and happiness. One cannot
exist without the other! We will do everything in our power to honor
this commitment. To Values: Aubrey Organics is a
value-based organization. We believe that a company can conduct business
in an ethical and enlightened manner and be successful, and we are
determined to set an example. We believe that competition and fair play
are at the heart of success. Corporate greed has no place in today’s
business environment. We live by these rules everyday and encourage all
to follow in the same footsteps.
Our values are our guide to: - Fair Trade
- Fair Play
- Fair treatment of employees
- Fair treatment of partners
- Integrity
- Humanity & Nature - it is One World
- Ethics
- Responsiblilty
- Leadership
- Transparency
- Education
- And much more
