This petition is quite simple. I\'d like to convince the folks at Aveda, now owned by Estee Lauder, to continue making the Aveda Elixir Daily Leave-In Conditioner. I\'ve been using this product almost daily for several years. There is no other product that can replace Elixir. It was one of a kind. 8/12/08 - Again, a huge thank you to all who are signing the petition! I continue to check this petition every 2 days or so... and am always so pleased to see new names and anecdotes. I decided to send another email to Aveda this week, with a link to the blog... and this is the response that I received: Dear Meredith, Thank you for taking the time to contact Aveda. At Aveda, we are committed to providing our customers with the best in products and services. Please be assured your comments will be forwarded to our executives so that they may be taken into consideration during future planning. Should you need further assistance, please contact our Consumer Relations team at 800.328.0849 between 8am-5:30pm Central Standard Time to speak with a Customer Service Representative. Again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns. ************************************************ Update 6/1/08... First, I want to thank Sarah A. for her suggestion to call corporate headquarters - - everyone, please make your voice heard and call! The number is 1-800-284-8616. However, in the meantime, I did want everyone to know that Aveda responded to me. Unfortunately, it is kind of a \"canned\" response. See below: Dear Meredith, Thank you for taking the time to contact Aveda. We are delighted to learn that you have been using and enjoying our products for so long. It is certainly not the intention of Aveda to disappoint any of our consumers by discontinuing favorite products. Decisions to discontinue products, shades or sizes are made either in response to consumer preferences and purchasing patterns throughout the country, or to introduce a more environmentally advanced product to the brand. Nevertheless, consumer feedback is very important to us. Please be certain that your comments will be shared with our Marketing Department for their consideration during future planning. You are valued as a customer. We are happy to inform you that we have launched a new product called Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother. Compared to Elixir, Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother is a more superior performing product. Elixir is our old heritage product, with a light conditioning detangling benefit but does not have strong performance claims. Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother preps hair for styling to give long lasting, smooth results while helping to make styling easier. The innovative hybrid formula combines leave-in treatment and styling benefits to: create a smooth new surface on hair, help protect from heat styling, and defend against humidity for up to 12 hours. Should you need further assistance, please contact our Consumer Relations team at 800.328.0849 between 8am-5:30pm Central Standard Time to speak with a Customer Service Representative. Again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns. Sincerely, Tricia AVEDA - Customer Relations - Blaine Aveda Global Consumer Communications If you wish to follow-up via email with our Corporate Consumer Communications Department, you may contact them directly at [email protected]. Should you need further assistance, please contact our Consumer Relations team at 1.800.328.0849 between 8am-5:30pm Central Standard Time to speak with a Customer Service Representative. We appreciate your understanding and patience. For a greener planet, Jaimie Aveda Online Customer Service ************************************************ Update 5/13/08... Still no word from Aveda. I will try to contact them again. Stay tuned. I am so excited that the list of signatures continues to grow! Last time I checked, there were 25 or so signatures... so I was very surprised to see that more of you signed the petition. ************************************************ Update 3/28/08... Thanks for the support! I\'ll share the petition with the folks at Aveda.

The few remaining bottles are selling for $235 on eBay. This was the best hair product I ever used. It was like magic on curly hair. So sad.

I adore Elixir. I just have few drops left. It is a real balm for my haris and it totally enhances my nice curls. I would love Aveda to bring it back on the market. (I live in Montreal, Canada) Thank you!

The Aveda Elixir is such a great selling product and beloved by many including myself. Please bring this product back.

Please bring back Elixir. Why did they discontinue it in the first place?????

P

I have used the NEW replacements for my Elixer....... They do not compare... Exhausting and costly trying to find a product that compares... Aveda really did Brake the Mold... SAD Aveda customer.

This is THE best leave-in condition that I've used. Please bring it back.

Linda MItchell

Please bring elixir back. If it costs more to make, charge according. Nothing else is like it.

Cheryl Valosky

This is The best product made. I have very fine hair and most conditioners weigh it done. Please bring back Aveda Elixir

mario madero

Thank you for this petition. Please bring back Elixer! I am down to my last 2 bottle, and I dread the day that my supply ends. Pretty please!!!

Please consider bringing this product back. I live overseas and wasn't aware it had been discontinued until it was too late. This really is the best product ever produced for frizzy tangled hair, especially on children who have little patience to sit still.

rick

I bought a case of Elixir for my wife when it was discontinued and it was perfect for her curly hair. Sad day when we finally ran out. Nothing else comes close.

Dawn Therrian

Please.. nothing even comes close

Georganne Weidenbach

please bring back the original Elixir

Bev Boss

Bring back the Elixir! Please!

David Scallon

Please bring back Aveda Elixir. There is no substitute.

mary gintz

bring it back. period.

David

Still need it. Bring it back please

Tiannah York Van Elslande

I'm very disappointed in the so called replacements Aveda has suggested to use instead of Elixir. It's ridiculous that Aveda suggest we mix two or three products to get mediocre results when they already had a perfect all in one product. Listen to your customers- BRING IT BACK!

Raynetta Maszerowski

Bring it back ,please ! It's the only product that's ever really worked in my curly hair !

hitomi nakase

Please recontinue making elixir. And the rosemary conditioner.

Sophie

This changed my hair to an amazing extent. I love it, and I I want it back.

Sarah Hargrove

I used this product for years and I LOVED it. There is no replacement. It has been almost a decade since they discontinued and I am still mourning.

Dom Williams

Please bring the Elixir back!!! No products at Aveda have even come close to how the elixir worked!!! I used aveda products for 25 yrs until they stopped selling the elixir!!!! I would go in to buy my elixir and end up buying other products too.... now I don't even go in the store

Yvonne Bovee

Never found anything like it again:(

Daria Kennedy

I no longer have a reason to go to Aveda stores. Elixir was what I went there to buy, and generally I bought other stuff once I was in the store. Unfortunately, I was told various other Aveda products were alternatives ..... well none of them even came close. Why on earth dump your best product?

Anonymous

One of the best hair products I've ever used on my hair. Shocked to see it gone.

Terra Jenkins

Please bring back Elixer... please!!! It is the only think that tames my friz without weihing it down or leaving it feeling heavy with product. I am 42. I had used it since i was 16. I have fine but textured hair. I've not found a better product since, Aveda or otherwise. I still go into your stores hoping and am always so disappointed. Please consider bringing it back. Thank you.

It's been 10 years and I still haven't found a replacement for Elixer. My hair hasn't been the same since. Please bring it back or replace it. I don't get it.

Please! Please! Please! Bring back Aveda's Elixir Daily Leave-In Conditioner. I have never been able to find any other product that comes even close to being as good as the Aveda Elixir product. My hair has been struggling without it :-(

Michelle Wexelblat

It's amazing that people still want this 10 years later. Let's hope...

Ray Haluska

Please bring back this outstanding product. Price for a 12 year old bottle on Ebay is about $150. ..Like others, I have not found an acceptable substitute. I'd support any effort to hire a scientist to recreate this product. Their products are far too expensive to experiment with and I never see the flat sample packs salons used to give to their good customers years ago. Looking at the available products, it doesn't even seem like they are trying to market a product that had the magic of Elixir.

CARL BOLDING

please bring it back

James sollogub

People at Aveda are morons

Philip Aaronson

I could make a fortune with the formulas for just three discontinued products-- Aveda Elixir, Jhirmack pHINALE, and Wella Sunset. AND SO COULD YOU

Leora Adams

Agreed! Bring back!

PLEASE bring back Aveda Elixer!! My hair has been awful since the product was discontinued. I have fine hair and this product gave my hair some weight and made the feel of it to be much thicker than without. Thank you!

Karen Boyd

Bring back Aveda Elixr and detoxify shampoo. Nothing you make now is anything like these two products! Spent far to much trying to replicate when these two were outstanding.

Tina

The problem with bringing back Elixir is if Estee’ does the Formulation it’s doubtful you will get the same product. All of the Aveda products that I have looked at since 1997 are no longer clean formulations or pure based. They have PEGS and other ingredients that HORST would have NEVER used in his products. Totally negative ingredients that are horrible for hair and skin. It would be nice to have that and all of the clean and original formulas back. There was nothing like them then or now. Truly they were a gift from heaven. Absolutely true and pure for beauty in every way. I was fortunate to train with Horst and the team in the 1980’s-1997.

Melissa Edwards Crowe

I loved the elixir and haven’t found anything that compares. Please bring it back.

Natasha Proca

Yes, please bring back elixir. There was nothing like it. It was beautiful for the hair and you could also use it as a body lotion.

Why did they discontinue it? It's iconic and nothing in the Aveda line comes anywhere close :(
