Alva is a German brand of natural and organic cosmetics. About half of the products are labelled with the demanding Ecocert BIO certificate ensuring that at least 95% of the plant ingredients come from controlled organic farming while synthetic ingredients constitute not more than 5% of the final product. The active plant ingredients are derived from wild plants as well. Alva cosmetics contain no petroleum-derived mineral oils, synthetic dyes and aromatic substances, parabens, formaldehyde, silicones or GMO. The packaging is made of PVC-free plastic. Alva doesn’t test its products on animals and some of the cosmetics are vegan. Besides face care, hair care and body care products, the offer includes make-up products as well.
