About Vitamin A:

We aim to reduce our impact, use our voice, raise awareness and generate change. We’re always learning how to be more sustainable in both our products + practice. In 2020, we partnered with a “green team,” to audit our materials and supply chain over the last 10 years. The results? A few sexy stats we can get behind. You can now find the stats behind each of our products. Our Materials Before Vitamin A, Amahlia worked on a design project with Patagonia founder and environmentalist Yvon Chouinard whose company’s use of recycled plastic bottles in their technical fabrics inspired her to attempt something similar in the swimwear space. However, when Amahlia began to research the options, she was told by fabric suppliers that there was “no market” for swimwear made from recycled fibers — so she decided to design the fabric herself, working with the top mills in Italy, Canada and California to create EcoLux™ — the first premium swim fabric made from recycled nylon fibers. Since then, the company has incorporated several more sustainable high-performance fabrics along with eco-conscious textiles like organic cotton, linen, recycled cotton and Tencel®. All materials are certified to meet the global Oeko-Tex standard for safe textiles.
