Overview
Aubrey Hampton started Aubrey Organics back in the 1960's. Aubrey Organics produces all certified organic hair care and body products and were the first to do so in 1994. Their products are 100% natural and contain no synthetic versions of the real thing. Aubrey Hampton began with the knowledge he'd gained from his mother, an herbalist, and began making his own formulations of hair care and body products. In 1969, Aubrey Natural Labs was created and was eventually turned into Aubrey Organics. Aubrey Hampton is not only the CEO of Aubrey Organics but is also an author of several natural cosmetic books. The company has partnered with many other environmentally conscious companies and affiliates to create a community of awareness for natural products and how the consumer can get involved.
Product Details
The products available range from baby care and toiletries to Sun care and products for your pets. All products are 100% natural with no synthetic chemicals of any kind. There is chamomile for your hair, aloe for your skin, and light floral scents for your nose. In the baby care section there is Green Tea sunscreen with SPF 25. In the household cleaning section there is a cleaner that has soap bark extract and coconut oil as a few of the many natural ingredients for cleaning. The product has no sulfates and is biodegradable. There are extensive products in the make up area for women and a full line of body care products for men. During the summer months you can use their Sun care line which has seven different sunscreens that are not made with harsh chemicals. All the products are boxed or bottled in recycled plastic or paper. The products are also hand made by people, not machines. The batches are kept small for quality control.
The Good
- 100% Natural ingredients-no chemicals in any of their products.
- No animal testing
- The website provides an extensive list of all their products, including the full list of ingredients.
- The website offers a tool for discovering your skin type and finding all the products that would be right for you.
- There is on-line ordering
The Bad
- There is a lot of information at the click of your mouse. You can get overwhelmed.
- There are so many available products. Sometimes a company can be producing too many products and not focusing more research and time on a smaller selection of specialized items.
- With such a wide range of products, one items effectiveness may not be indicative of the whole line.
- No products contain any proprietary, collagen stimulating elements making their anti-wrinkle capabilities questionable.
The Bottom Line
Aubrey Organics provides a lot of information and detail about their products. They are an experienced company with decades of production and they offer an array of products to meet your varying needs. The products are 100% natural and the company seems well involved in other organic and environmental causes. However, reading product ingredient lists makes us think that there's a time and a place for Aubrey. These days, everyone is thinking "green," and their range of sunscreens and baby products seem like solid alternatives to chemical-based products. However, anti-wrinkle treatment can be a bit more tricky and consumers serious about fighting the effects of aging may want to look for something more potent and specialized.
