Thoughtful Formulations

What we include in our products is just as important as what we exclude from them. We strive to avoid unnecessary and harsh ingredients and prioritize those that are effective and gentle for your skin and the planet. AVEENO® products are:

  • Formulated with Oat and other efficacious ingredients that help soothe and nurture sensitive skin
  • Formulated without triclosan, microbeads, phthalates, 1,4-dioxane, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives
  • Scientifically driven, clinically supported safety processes that hold us to high standards of health and safety
  • For the environment, we use a patented system called the Global Aquatic Ingredient Assessment ™ tool to help us formulate non-toxic and biodegradable products that are not harmful to aquatic life and ecosystems.

Ethical Farming & Sourcing

From day one, we have worked with farmers to source and process our natural ingredients in a way that preserves their purity and therapeutic properties. We do this in an environmentally conscientious manner.

  • We source our oats from family owned farms, situated in cooler areas that are best suited for their growth
  • Our oat is 100% pure, non-GMO, and food grade
  • We use eco-friendly practices like low heat, crop rotation, and pesticide-free fields to help preserve quality
  • To minimize energy use during transport, our supplier uses a mix of rail and truck from farm to milling center.
