Must Have: Aveda Uruku Bronzer…

Summertime is here! Bronzers are my favorite things to use in the summer especially the kind that offer two shades and one of them is pinkish. The Aveda Uruku Bronzer is a bronzer that combines the power of high performance botanicals and minerals for a smooth and natural-looking, sun-kissed glow with 100% color from the earth. Each duo-shade bronzer is embossed with a diamond symbol representing the Yawanawa anaconda snake. The shades are complimentary to one another but one is more like a blush which gives you that perfect pop of color resulting in a flawlessly natural bronzed look.  The Uruku Bronzing Brush is a luxuriously soft, kabuki-style brush that partners with Aveda Uruku Bronzer for perfect application.

The Rundown:

Aveda Uruku Bronzer is available in three duo-shades:

• Amazonia
• Brazilian Sun
• Bossa Glow (limited edition)

Aveda Uruku Bronzer packaged in a 100% post-consumer recycled PET clear clamshell and 80% PCR/Forest-Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified fiber sleeve glazed in annatto pigment. The packaging is adorned with symbols used in Yawanawa face painting ceremonies. As partners in design, Aveda compensated the Yawanawa for the use of their symbols, which include:

• The diamond—inspired by the anaconda snake, believed to be a teacher of wisdom and healing.
• The arrow—a symbol of courage and strength
• The fish—representing the sustenance of life.

Designed to partner with refillable Aveda Envirometal™ Compacts.

PARTNERS IN BEAUTY: AVEDA AND THE YAWANAWA
Since 1992, Aveda has collaborated with the Yawanawa Nation of Brazil to organically grow urukum, the source of our annatto pigment, which colors our Uruku product lineup and packaging while helping to sustain a healthy rainforest ecosystem.

“The symbols reflect our spirit and that of the rainforest, which is sacred to our people. They also remind us of the importance of caring for the earth.”
- Tashka Yawanawa, chief of the Yawanawa People

The Aveda Uruku Bronzing Ritual Kit retails at $55 and is available in Aveda salons, spas and stores and on aveda.com.

Stay Pretty & Bronzed!!
