The botanical repair collection is 93% naturally derived2, silicone-free, sulfate cleanser-free and vegan; and like all Aveda products, is cruelty free and manufactured with 100% wind power through renewable energy and carbon offsets. Instead of using silicones, botanical repair, where relevant, is formulated with a patent-pending silicone-free technology that mimics the conditioning performance of silicones using naturally derived ingredients, including candelilla wax and olive-derived conditioners. Avedas R&D Chemists worked through countless combinations before discovering this unique, proprietary blend. Botanical repair features a naturally derived fresh, light floral, herbal aroma containing certified organic ylang- ylang, rose and marjoram essential oils, leaves hair smelling as indulgent as it looks and feels. Botanical repair bottles, jars and their respective caps are made with 100% post-consumer recycled packaging, eliminating use of virgin petrochemical plastics in these forms. Botanical repair tubes are made with a minimum of 59% post-consumer recycled materials and up to 41% bioplastic, and their respective caps are made with minimum 60% post-consumer recycled materials. Additionally, Aveda is introducing a new 350ml mono-material tube with 65% post-consumer recycled content, which is the highest possible to date.
