Viva La Body is proud to create and operate on Larrakia Country. We acknowledge the Larrakia People as the Traditional Owners of the Darwin region and pay our deepest respect to Larrakia Elders past, present and emerging. We are committed to a positive future for the Aboriginal Community and are grateful for its rich cultural heritage and the blessings it brings to us all.
Palm Oil Free: We are committed to producing products that do not contain any palm oil. In doing so we are helping our customers contribute to the preservation of rainforests and the protection of wildlife habitats. The devastation caused to our environment due to rampant palm oil agriculture is horrific. It is important to note that to be truly cruelty free there can be no palm oil derived ingredients in any of our products.
Zero Waste Compostable Packaging: We prioritise the use of eco-friendly and sustainable packaging materials, ensuring that our products generate minimal waste and have a positive impact on the environment. We are committed to sustainable packaging solutions, utilising compostable materials that can be returned to the Earth, further reducing waste and environmental impact. We believe that our products do not need a jar or a bottle to work effectively.
Vegan: Our products are entirely free from animal derived ingredients, aligning with our belief in cruelty free and plant based alternatives. It is better for the environment and for your health to be vegan.
Cruelty Free: We are staunchly against animal testing and ensure that none of our products or ingredients are tested on animals, providing a compassionate and responsible approach to beauty and personal care. We only test products on our friends, family and long term dedicated customers who provide honest advice and feedback. All participants do this willingly!
All Natural Ingredients: We source and use only natural, plant based ingredients to create products that are safe for both our customers and the environment. Viva La Body is dedicated to using biodegradable ingredients, ensuring that our products break down naturally and do not contribute to environmental pollution.
Small Batch Production: By producing our items in small batches, we maintain a high level of quality control and reduce waste, while also ensuring that each product receives the attention and care it deserves.
Handmade with Love: Every product is carefully crafted by hand, reflecting our dedication to providing our customers with high-quality, artisanal items. We are a dynamic duo who absolutely love creating and we pour lots of love into every batch.
Sustainable Sourcing: We work diligently to source ingredients and materials that are sustainable, eco friendly, and support local communities whenever possible. We proudly source our virgin organic coconut oil from Los Palos in Timor Leste. A fab organisation that's primary goal is to raise remote villages in Timor-Leste out of poverty using the humble coconut.
Transparency and Accountability: We believe in open communication with our customers and stakeholders, providing clear information about our ingredients, processes, and values, and remaining accountable for our actions. We provide a no-hide ingredients listing on our website and on every product we make.
Environmental Stewardship: We are dedicated to minimising our environmental impact, continually seeking ways to improve our practices, and actively participating in conservation efforts. We have supported the planting of over 11,000 trees in the Leuser ecosystem in Sumatra; a biodiverse region that is home to many endangered species.
Community Engagement: We engage with and support our local community in various ways, such as sourcing from local suppliers, providing employment opportunities, and contributing to local causes.
Education and Advocacy: We are committed to educating our customers and the broader community about sustainable living, ethical consumerism, and the benefits of natural and eco-friendly products.
Continuous Improvement: We are always striving to innovate and improve our products and processes to better align with our values and meet the evolving needs and expectations of our customers. We remind ourselves daily that we are only as good as our last batch!
