Pure Haven Essenials By Vanessa McMillen

Ava discovered, at the age of 14, the issue of chemicals in personal care products and their hazardous health effects. The more Ava researched, the more concerned she became. She started a blog to talk about where to find safer products. The market is flooded with “organic”, “natural”, “safe” and “pure”, yet there were almost always toxic ingredients included as well. After throwing out most of her products, her mother’s and grandmothers’ too, she still had nothing “Ava Approved” to replace them with, or to recommend. Ava had become truly disturbed at how consumers were unaware of the risks of common brands and how those who thought they were making safe choices often did not know what was really in the products they were purchasing. After months of research, Ava realized that she needed to create her own products. Through a family friend, she located a manufacturer with research facilities that could develop and produce products to her standards. It was a great challenge to develop these revolutionary formulas, but with her vision and persistence she succeeded. Ava’s personal care company was launched in December 2009. No parabens¸ No PEGs, No phthalates, No SLS, No 1,4 dioxane, No “Fragrance” No toxins all AVA ANDERSON NON-TOXIC ingredients score “ZERO” on the Cosmetics Database Toxicity Scale.
