At Alva Natural Skincare we're devoted to beautiful skin and to supplying the best natural skincare products possible. Since 1988 Alva has been doing its best to fulfill this commitment by developing cosmetics and skincare products that are truly beneficial and offer a maximum degree of effectiveness. This means we're not interested in short-term trends; what counts for Alva is what really helps people in the realm of skincare, and being able to live up to the high expectations our customers have in our products.

Alva’s commitment to producing effective natural cosmetics requires that all possible efforts are made to use the highest quality pure raw materials with a refusal to compromise quality for price. Alva’s raw materials stem from controlled organic farming or are naturally grown. There's no room for compromise with our products: we don't use liquid paraffin, phenoxyethanol, petroleum jelly, parabens, ammonium lauryl sulphate, palm oil, lanolin, SLES, EDTA or PEGs. Alva is listed on the "List of Positive Cosmetics" issued by PETA, meaning that all products are of vegetarian origin and none have been tested on animals.

In order to be able to supply you with highly effective and well formulated natural skincare products for now and the future, many Alva products are subject to tests, analyses and dermatological studies that are otherwise uncommon in the field of natural skincare. Alva’s commitment to research and innovation of natural skincare products has had a lasting positive effect on the market: Alva are the European originators of natural crystal deodorants, and were the first company to introduce Tea Tree Oil to Europe, along with being amongst the first natural cosmetic companies to pioneer the use of Sea Buckthorn and Rhassoul volcanic mineral clay, and more recently the 40 times patented Wellmune® brand of immune supporting Beta Glucans.

As interest in natural and organic skincare continues to develop, each passing year we witness many new entrants to the natural skincare market, more and more companies are presenting themselves as manufacturers of 'natural' and ‘organic’ skincare products, and in an over-crowded market place sometimes its hard to discern between what is natural & organic and what is marketed as natural & organic. For this reason, Alva has embarked on a programme of independent third party validation by the worldwide recognized organic certification body, Ecocert®. This increases transparency to our customers. This is a gradual process, with each product being individually scrutinized from seed to finished product, including strict monitoring of manufacturing and packaging processes, as well as that of all ingredients and product packaging. Step by step the entire Alva range will soon carry the Ecocert® seal.
