spavia...what you need more often.

Spavia™ Green

Spavia means pathway to wellness, which is the foundation for our focus on a goal to become one of the greenest spa’s on earth. Our products and services are geared towards giving natural, environmentally friendly solutions to improving our guests' health.

Green Spa Network

Spavia is setting the market leadership standard as the first in the area to become members of a larger community, the Green Spa Network. Spavia is proud to be a member of the new Green Spa Network, a non-profit trade organization dedicated to bringing sustainability practices to the spa industry.

Cosmetic Recycling Program

Clean out your closets and drawers and take advantage of our cosmetic recycling program. Bring in any container of at least 1/2 full skin or body care product and receive $5 off total purchase for similar organic or natural skin or body care products. Any products that are half-full to full are being sent to the Gathering Place, a Denver-area shelter for women. All other products are recycled as hazardous waste since they contain harmful chemicals. There is no limit to the number of products you can recycle. We do not take lipstick but we will take other makeup products. Containers under 2 oz. will not receive credit, but we will recycle them.

Suppliers

We give preference to suppliers whose products have environmentally friendly attributes that are organic, minimize toxicity and reduce packaging waste or have any other environmentally preferable attributes, with minimal sacrifice to price and delivery requirements.

Spavia has been dedicated to organic products, natural services and energy conservation since we opened in 2005. Our philosophy, services, and products have been given great care and consideration to embrace our environment. We are committed to conserving the world's natural resources, without sacrificing the quality of your experience. After joining us at spavia, you will feel nurtured and inspired; knowing that it was beneficial for you and the environment.

spavia green efforts include:

  • Using biodegradable cleaning products and laundry detergents
  • Separating recyclables for recycling
  • Eliminating paper hand towels
  • Buying locally made products to support local businesses and reduce shipping waste
  • Elimination of styrofoam cups and plastic water bottles
  • Striving to use only natural ingredients in our skin and body products
  • Healthy air for staff and clients, no noxious fumes from common hair or nail processes
  • Make-up is 100% pure mineral without fillers and synthetics
  • Using paper bags instead of plastic for retail offerings
  • Using relaxing books in retreat areas instead of magazines which cause enormous waste
  • Water filtration – Filtration is water friendly while still giving guests and employees purified healthy water without plastics or wasting water during the filtration process. (Note: We don’t use reverse osmosis which wastes as much as 7 gallons of water to produce 1 gallon of purified water).
  • Washer and Dryers – high efficiency which uses significantly less electricity and water

Our green focus is ever evolving and we look forward to feedback from our guests, employees and community on how we can become more aware and make positive changes to our bodies and our environment.
