Update: The products are now readily available but appear to have been reformulated and don’t work as well as they used to. 🙁
Aubrey Organics was founded in the 1960s by Aubrey Hampton. The company creates plant-based natural and organic haircare, skincare and beauty products.
Aubrey Organics has grown to become a force in the organic products industry.
Their hair products became increasingly popular with curlistas over the last ten years or so with many ladies favourites (including mine) being:-
- Aubrey Organics Glycogen Protein Balancing Conditioner
- Honeysuckle Rose Moisturising Conditioner
- White Camellia Conditioner
- Blue Chamomile Conditioner
- Rosa Mosqueta Conditioner
- Blue Green Algae Hair Rescue Conditioning Mask
The conditioners are excellent for cowashing, strengthening hair and deep conditioning.
Some ladies also liked the accompanying shampoos to these conditioners but I never took to any of them as they all dried out my hair badly no matter how I used them.
They also have some great products in their skincare line such as the Lumessence Lift Face Cream, Lumessence Eye Cream, Age-Defying Therapy Serum and Calming Skin Therapy Serum.
Somewhere in the last few years, some of the formulas were changed especially the favourites and led to a loss of some of their fan base.
I stopped using most of the products except the Glycogen Protein Balancing Conditioner, White Camellia Conditioner & Blue Green Algae.
I started noticing the products were getting harder and harder to find since May so I did some digging and discovered Aubrey Organics has been acquired by Nutraceutical Corporation.
I also discovered they’ve haven’t responded much to Facebook comments since April.
Will the products continue to be produced now that the company has been acquired?
Will the formulas change again? I don’t have the answers to either of these questions but based on previous experience when hair care companies/products are merged, sold or reformulated.
Now might be a good time to go PJ hunting for your favourite Aubrey Organics products before they disappear off the shelves forever.
You may also find similar products in Giovanni and Joico line.
