OUR PHILOSOPHY
P.4
We believe that our health is worth investing in. The pressures of modern living often make it difficult to live a balanced and grounded lifestyle. We are advocates of a balanced lifestyle that includes eating a healthy diet, adequate hydration, regular exercise, life-long learning, community, rest & relaxation. Our products are designed to make it easier to get the nutrients that we all need in order to fulfill our true potential. Rather than promoting a “quick-fix” solution or the newest “fad” ingredient, we encourage our community to adopt a systematic and consistent approach to healthy living.

Typography plays a large role in the brand identity. We use a serif typeface to add character and personality to the brand. The serif typeface is used for Headers, titles and smaller exerts of text that require further emphasis. Baskerville is the chosen font family, and we use the font in 2 weights: Regular & Italic.

BRAND GUIDELINE: OUR PHILOSOPHY

P.24
Aora started life as a discussion onboard a traditional Phinisi sailing boat in the Indonesian Archipelago. Despite having no background in nutritional supplements, Co-founders Sean Borland and Oli Anderson, felt strongly the majority of products being offered where inadequate and the packaging was bad for the environment. We make all of our decisions based on three simple criteria:

OUR PHILOSOPHY 1. 2. 3.
Our products have to be of the highest possible quality, organic, vegan friendly, with ingredients sustainably sourced where possible The packaging and manufacturing process need to be environmentally friendly Our highest value is respect. Respect ows in all directions: between staff, our suppliers and our community.
