Empowered by its unique  Mission, Aveda believes that authentic beauty is one that works in harmony with the greater web of life.  It does not qualify as beauty if it hurts any of the diverse life forms that the best beauty artist of all, Nature, created.  Authentic Beauty cares for the environment which we inherited from elders and will leave to generations that follow us.  Beauty cares for the society in which we live, enhancing harmony in the way we live and interact with one another as human beings.  In order to be Beauty, it also needs to be Good. Beauty is the result, but also the process followed in pursuing that result.

Said simply, Beauty Is As Beauty Does.
