Aveda Corporation was founded in 1978 by Horst Rechelbacher. The company headquarter is in Blaine, Minnesota. They manufacture various products for skin care, cosmetics, hair care products, and perfume. Aveda is a part of Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since it has been sold in 1997 for $300 million, although it continues to run in a separate entity. Avedas principles were designed to encourage environmental responsibility.

Some salons and spas are in partnership with Aveda. The company applies very strict rules to the businesses that carry the Aveda name. Aveda-based businesses have three levels of ownership.
