ABOUT THE ÉMINENCE ORGANIC COMPANY
Since their inception in 1958, Éminence have been using sustainable farming and green practices to create natural, organic and Biodynamic® products.
They believe in providing the best skin care products possible. The products are proudly free of parabens, animal by-products, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, harmful colorants and fragrances, mineral oils, petroleum, and other harsh cosmetic chemicals.
Éminence continue to use hand-picked fresh ingredients to create products that contain potent healing and beautifying properties. Many of these ingredients are combined with pure waters drawn from a thermal hot spring lake containing minerals and trace elements found nowhere else on earth.
The products are handmade without any severe heating or hydrogenating processes that can affect the nutritional content and potency of natural ingredients. Vitamins are captured in their all-natural fresh base, offering dramatic results as actual seeds, pulps and peels impart regenerative and healing powers that only nature can produce.
Éminence are constantly looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Éminence proudly uses wind energy and solar power energy in the making of their products and - a tree is planted for every product sold.

THE IMPACT OF A SINGLE TREE
A single tree can produce approximately 260 pounds of oxygen per year. Trees help lower air temperature to combat climate change while stabilising the soil by preventing erosion through their roots. Trees contribute to the fertility of land through nitrogen fixation and increasing water penetration.
Eminence Organics' Forests for the Future Program helps train farmers in developing countries on how to build productive and sustainable crops and farms. Éminence plant a tree for every product sold, enabling the development of rural communities, empowering local people to restore their environment, grow their own food and build a sustainable income and future for themselves, their families and their communities. Eminence Organics is proud to be able to continually contribute to the development of these regions.
By planting specific types of fast-growing trees, fruit trees, hardwoods and food crops in a systematic manner over a four-year period, families can positively change their lives forever. Program participants plant thousands of trees that provide families with sustainable food sources, livestock feed, products to sell, fuelwood and a 400% increase in their annual income in four years.
This program has achieved specific milestones including:
- Over 200 farming families trained and supported – protecting approximately 2,000 people from extreme poverty
- A total of 82% of farmers have seen significant income increases
- At least 400,000 fruit, nut and forestry trees planted each year for household consumption and sale.
