We take stock of our raw materials

At WAAM, discovering the best plant and mineral extracts for you is our passion and the heart of our business. We take a look at our supply chain with Angela, in charge of Regulatory Affairs, and Coraline, our Production Manager.

OUR SUPPLIERS

Their choice is essential to guarantee the impeccable quality of our products. Some are French, and all must meet a number of criteria:

- They must be respectful of their employees
- They must not exploit children or animals
- They must guarantee a minimum wage and acceptable working conditions.
- They must also respect the environment, not contribute to deforestation in their sourcing areas, and not engage in wild harvesting.

To guarantee the premium quality of our raw materials, our suppliers do not use any intermediaries.
Some of our products are Fair Trade, such as our Shea butter, for which we work directly with a cooperative in Mali.

THE CHOICE OF OUR RAW MATERIALS

THE CHOICE OF OUR RAW MATERIALS

At WAAM, all active ingredients are of natural origin (petrochemical derivatives are banned) and, overall, everything is organically grown.
There are a few exceptions, however, either because the ingredients cannot be certified organic or because the cost of certification is too high for our suppliers. The water and preservatives in our floral waters are not certified organic either, representing around 1% of the formula. They are therefore 99% organic.
As for the clay, we market four different varieties, sourced from the Mediterranean Basin. Only rhassoul comes from Morocco, its land of origin. All are totally pure, non-ionized and contain no gelatin or GMOs. The drying process used respects the quality of the product.

THE QUALITY OF OUR PROCESSED PRODUCTS

Our 9 neutral bases, the most elaborate references in our catalog, are formulated from organically grown raw materials.

Their composition is minimalist, containing only the bare essentials.

The cleansing oil base, for example, is composed of just 4 ingredients: sweet almond and sunflower oils, an emulsifier and vitamin E (tocopherol).
