Welcome to the world of Avril: organic, natural and committed cosmetics
Avril, the emblematic brand of organic cosmetics, invites you to discover a new way of taking care of yourself while respecting the environment. Founded in 2012, this French company's mission is to make natural beauty accessible to all. With certified organic formulations, affordable prices and an eco-responsible approach, Avril is committed on all fronts to meeting the expectations of consumers concerned about their health and the planet.
The brand's vision is clear: "Less is more". This mantra guides every step, from product design to distribution. Thanks to carefully selected ingredients, minimal packaging and sustainable manufacturing processes, Avril is part of a global approach to respect for the environment. Let's discover together the history, values and product ranges that make Avril an essential reference in ethical cosmetics.
Avril's history and values: a sustainable and responsible commitment
In 2012, Alexis Dhellemmes identified a fundamental need: to democratize organic cosmetics. At the time, organic products were often perceived as expensive and difficult to access. By eliminating superfluous costs such as marketing and unnecessary packaging, Avril offered an alternative: high-quality organic cosmetics accessible to all. The first products were sold exclusively online, but word-of-mouth quickly propelled the brand into organic stores, pharmacies and beauty salons.
Avril places ecology at the heart of its mission. Reducing waste is a priority: eliminating over-packaging, using recycled and recyclable materials, and developing solid or refillable products. By manufacturing the majority of its products in France, Avril also reduces the impact of transport, thereby limiting CO2 emissions.
Since 2019, the brand has taken even more ambitious measures, such as planting 43,412 trees and producing 240,000 kWh of green energy per year. These initiatives testify to Avril's constant desire to minimize its ecological footprint while offering high-performance products that are a pleasure to use.
People are at the heart of the company. Avril adopts a "liberated" organizational model, offering its employees autonomy and decision-making power. This approach fosters a caring and collaborative work environment, where every employee can contribute to the brand's shared mission. Consumers, too, play a key role: their feedback and suggestions are integrated to improve ranges and practices.
Avril is constantly innovating to offer eco-responsible alternatives. Solid products (shampoos, deodorants, soaps), refillable packaging and reusable accessories (make-up remover squares, toothbrushes) are an integral part of the range. These products meet everyday needs while encouraging more responsible consumption.
By joining the 1% for the Planet collective in 2023, Avril has strengthened its environmental commitment. The brand donates 1% of its sales to associations such as Coral Guardian and Terre de Liens. These donations support reforestation, ocean protection and agricultural transition projects, reinforcing the positive impact of its customers' purchases.
Avril proves that it is possible to combine quality, accessibility and responsibility. By offering products that are simple, effective and respectful of the environment, the brand has positioned itself as a key player in the ecological transition in the beauty sector. Every product purchased is a contribution to a more sustainable and harmonious future. So, are you ready to embark on the Avril adventure?
