In the mid-1800s, my great-grandparents, William and Alida Archibald, operated a 20-mule team ox cart delivering supplies to gold miners in Yosemite, California. My grandfather took great pride in the team’s striking lead ox—a rare white one. The image of their powerful mule team left such a lasting impression that a well-known company still features a 20-mule team ox cart on its packaging today.

Inspired by their pioneering spirit, we named our company ALIDA PURE. Our mission is to craft natural, vegan body care products using only the highest-quality plant-based oils, waxes, and healing essential oils—never synthetic fragrances, parabens, sulfates, or petrochemicals.

With over 30 years of experience, we produce our 100% vegan and organic products in our own vegan-certified facility in Green Valley, Arizona, using eco-friendly, sustainable practices. We hope you enjoy the care and integrity we put into every product—especially our signature vegan lip balm.
