NOVATO, Calif. - Oct. 1, 2015 - PRLog -- Andalou Naturals, the leading advocate for Non-GMO Project Verified within the personal care industry and the premier manufacturer of innovative, clinically proven, fruit stem cell-based skin care, hair care, bath, and body products, is proud to celebrate this October for Non-GMO Month. Founded in Northern California in 2011, Andalou Naturals has been committed to the consumer since day one. “It’s important to shine a light on natural and organic ingredients and label transparency for food and personal care safety,” says Stacey Kelly Egide, Andalou Naturals Founder and CEO. “Andalou means ‘a path of light’ and we believe it best reflects our commitment to foster good things in the world and enrich the lives we touch, one responsible product at a time.”
The Andalou Naturals’ way resonates with today’s consumer. Over 30,000 products are now Non-GMO Project Verified* with numerous brands working toward verification. Since receiving Non-GMO Project Verification for its full line, Andalou Naturals has risen to the number one facial skin care brand in the natural channel and has held that position for 76 weeks and counting (SPINS September, 2015). The company was also the fastest growing brand in this same time period. “Andalou Naturals is providing consumers innovation through science, clinical validation for efficacy and premium quality at affordable pricing all while using trend setting natural ingredients and packaging--in addition to full transparency,” says Mark A. Egide, Andalou Naturals President.
While numerous brands have a handful of simple ingredient products Non-GMO Project Verified, a rare few submit an entire product line with complex formulas. In order to achieve Non-GMO Project Verified status on every product, the Andalou Naturals team, in cooperation with manufacturers and suppliers, had to rigorously confirm that over 200 source ingredients, as well as the manufacturing process for each ingredient, did not include GMOs of any kind. "We're excited to be working with such dedicated brands as Andalou Naturals," said Megan Westgate, Director of the Non-GMO Project. "The work required to verify an entire product line shows a high level of commitment to transparency and to changing the overall supply chain."
