ECO-CONCEPTION
The impact of a product—across the whole value chain—is defined in the early steps of its conception.
Our product line embodies a minimalist philosophy, meticulously curated to encompass a compact range that delivers all the essential benefits expected from a skincare solution, with an unwavering commitment to both efficacy and safety.
This philosophy has led us to intentionally limit our topical offering to essential products—each designed to cover all skincare needs from makeup removal and cleansing to specialized serums for face and eye contours, as well as day and night creams. This strict limitation on our product range is mirrored in our approach to formulation.
By concentrating on synergistic formulas and potent, medical-grade quality ingredients within each product, we've crafted a collection that not only meets but exceeds the holistic needs of skin care. This focused approach ensures that each ingredient serves a pivotal role and significantly reduces the necessity for additional functional additives for stability or preservation. In doing so, we not only streamline our offerings to the essence of efficacy, purity, and safety but also embody a commitment to minimalism, both in the number of products we offer and the ingredients they contain.
Guided by the principles of green sciences, our formulas are thoughtfully conceived to minimize energy use during production and to extend the lifecycle of our products. Our method combines eco-friendly sourcing with lab-grown natural ingredients, harmonising the wisdom of nature with the precision of science.
Further emphasizing our commitment to the wellbeing of all life, our formulas are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free.
At AWvi, we're not just committed to delivering wellness solutions that are as responsible as they are effective—we're raising the bar for what it means to create skincare that embodies Nature to the power of science.
Our MANUFACTURING COMMITMENTS
AWvi leverages green science to sustainably harness the power of nature.
Our highly innovative blends are crafted with lab-grown natural ingredients, environmentally sustainable green chemistry, and circular soft processes, avoiding any unnecessary components while ensuring optimal formula integrity to extend product lifespan.
In the case of AWvi ingredients that are identical to those found in nature, our processes allow us to isolate them efficiently, guaranteeing their high concentration while preventing contamination.
Through this sustainable approach, we're not only preserving the planet but also enhancing formula efficacy.
Our upcycled components not only include non-edible biomass fractions but also water - which can represent up to 90% of the composition of skincare formulas. In fact, our process transforms these elements into active ingredients.
In the case of our upcycled waters, they offer tangible skincare benefits contrary to what conventional, demineralized water can provide.
Similarly, our use of biomass by-products results in ingredients with heightened biomimetic properties, ensuring our products work in harmony with your skin physiology for optimal results.
Furthermore, our manufacturing processes utilize efficient technologies to reduce emissions and waste, simultaneously minimizing the use of land, water, and energy. This includes not only a reduction in energy consumption but also a commitment to leveraging green energy from renewable sources.
Our PACKAGING
AWvi packaging has been designed to actively contribute to product preservation and ensure consumption until the last drop to avoid any product waste, all while minimizing its environmental impact.
Containers are made of post-consumer recycled material or fully recyclable mono-material—in the event of contact with the formula for safety reasons—while recyclable outer boxes are made from sustainable sources (FSC Certified), without use of wrapping paper and unneeded leaflets.
In shipping our products worldwide, we prioritize reducing our carbon footprint by carefully considering the weight of our products. Consequently, we opted for heavier recyclable materials like glass only for AWvi smallest product bottle—The Power Serum—which not only minimizes environmental impact but also helps in reducing breakage and waste.
We are deepening our dedication to sustainable packaging by introducing refillable options for our products in the near future, further advancing our commitment to environmental responsibility.
Our CERTIFICATIONS
In our pursuit of absolute transparency and accountability, AWvi has partnered with a third-party auditor, Provenance.
Provenance's role is to independently validate every claim we make about our products—from efficacy and safety to ethical sourcing and sustainability.
This partnership will reinforce our commitment to openness and ensures that our achievements in health, wellness, and environmental stewardship are not merely aspirational statements but tangible realities.
At AWvi, we understand the importance of trust in building meaningful relationships with you. By inviting Provenance to scrutinize our practices, we underscore our pledge to operate with integrity and honor our promises.
