In the mid-1800’s my great grandparents William and Alida Archibald, ran a 20-mule team ox cart hauling supplies to the gold miners in Yosemite, California. Their son, my grandfather, was very proud of the fact that the lead oxen of that team was white. The sight of this 20-mule team ox cart with a white ox in the lead, was so impressive that to this day, a very well-known company uses the image of a 20-mule team ox cart on the front of all their packaging! It is in honor of their pioneer spirit that we have named our vegan body care company, ALIDA PURE. Our mission is to create natural vegan body care products using the finest quality oils, waxes and healing essential oils, without using synthetic fragrances, parabens, sulphates, or petrochemicals. With over 30 years of experience in making natural body care products, our plant-based body care brand is 100% vegan, natural and organic. Made in our own vegan certified facility in Green Valley, Arizona using eco-friendly and sustainable practices. We hope that you will enjoy the care that we have taken in creating our vegan lip balm and enjoy using our products!
