Kiehl’s Honors World AIDS Day, Dec. 1, with Limited Edition Hand Care for a Cure.

Maintaining its long-standing tradition of supporting HIV/AIDS charities, Kiehl’s Since 1851, the venerable New York-based purveyor of fine quality skin and hair care, is pleased to announce a renewed partnership with amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.

In proud support of World AIDS Day, on December 1, Kiehl’s will introduce Hand Care for a Cure, a Limited Edition version of its customer favorite, Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. Donating 100% of net profits of each product dedicated to stemming the loss of life from HIV/AIDS, this heavy-duty moisture treatment is a thick, rich formula offering all-day care and protection to hands. Featuring a blend of select ingredients that allows skin to actually draw and absorb water from the air, this hand salve forms a “glove-like’ protective barrier against moisture loss.

“Dating back to 1996, Kiehl’s has been committed to raising awareness of HIV/AIDS by partnering with reputable organizations like Magic Johnson AIDS Foundation, YouthAIDS and amfAR,” said Chris Salgardo, president, Kiehl’s USA. “In fact, since 2001, Kiehl’s has proudly raised upwards of $1,000,000 for the cause! From inception, it has been our mission to always give back to the communities in which we do business, and to do our part to be a socially responsible citizen. And, we are thrilled that we are once again able to donate to amfAR, a charity that Kiehl’s has supported for many years.”

The World AIDS Day Hand Care for a Cure product will feature a unique design of the symbolic red ribbon – worn internationally to increase public awareness of AIDS and in the lobbying efforts to increase funding for AIDS services and research. Created out of red hand prints, this visual displays the many hands that AIDS has affected, as well as the many hands working together to find a cure.

SRP: 2.5 fl. oz / $12.50

The Office’s Jenna Fischer and her makeup artist Vanessa Scali designed a Golden Goddess look that was easy and sexy: Pale, gold skin and a smoky bronze eye. Here’s how to get the look:

SKIN: “I first applied spot foundation only where it was needed using shu uemura’s Nobara Cream Cover Stick Foundation. It gives clean, fresh, flawless coverage. I then used Lancôme’s Effecernes in Light Bisque and Blush Subtil in Sheer Amourose. I highlighted her cheek and brow bones with Armani’s Fluid Sheer #2. In the T-zone only, I used shu uemura’s Face Powder in Colorless – matte formula.”

EYES: “For a soft, smoky effect, I used shu uemura’s Pressed Eye Shadow in ME Gold #350 from the lash line to the crease and under the lower lashes. For a bit more depth, I added shu uemura’s ME Brown #855 to the outer corners of the lid. To define and elongate the lash line, I used shu uemura’s Painting Liner in black. I love luxuriously full lashes and gave Jenna’s a boost by adding shu uemura’s Flare False Eyelashes in Black followed by a few generous coats of Kiehl’s Marvelous Mineral Mascara in Black.”

LIPS: “I used shu uemura’s Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine in Beige 911.”

Kiehl’s is going organic with the launch of its Açaí skin care collection, due in mid-September.

While many people assume Kiehl’s products are 100 percent organic, this line is the brand’s first organic skin care line, said Chris Salgardo, president of Kiehl’s USA. “Since our inception, we have always been known for our service and for creating efficacious products,” said Salgardo, noting that everyone asks for “green” products, but still demand high performance. “We heard that our customers wanted organics, that they wanted paraben-free, that they wanted natural — and they wanted to focus on the first signs of aging. We went to the lab to do all that. The result: our new Açaí line.”

Kiehl’s Since 1851, the venerable New York-based purveyor of fine quality skin and hair care preparations, is pleased to introduce a limited edition Lip Balm #1 Set to celebrate its most iconic product. Commemorating the 40th anniversary of Kiehl’s best-seller, and longstanding favorite of both male and female patrons alike, this gift set consists of six Lip Balm #1 formulas in Coconut, Cranberry, Mango, Mint Vanilla, and Original – all of which treat, soothe and hydrate lips.

A must-have of many celebrities – including John Mayer, Gwyneth Paltrow and Halle Barry – Lip Balm #1 is the most well-known and beloved formula worldwide. Infused with Squalane, Sweet Almond Oil, Allantoin, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, this rich, emollient balm is recommended for all skin types and is particularly beneficial to those with dry, parched lips.

Packaged in individual boxes that feature the original Lip Balm # 1 illustration, each reveals an interesting piece of history from 1969, the year Lip Balm #1 launched. Some of these fun facts include when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, when the Beatles topped the Billboard Charts, and how many people attended The Woodstock Music and Art Fair.

“This anniversary set is our way to honor Lip Balm #1’s 40 year life span. We are thrilled that this product has been a favorite for so many years, and thought a great way to thank our loyal patrons for their ongoing relationship is to celebrate this milestone by offering all of our Lip Balm #1 formulas in one package,” said Chris Salgardo, President, Kiehl’s USA. “In addition to being a great gift item, it is another way to celebrate Kiehl’s legacy and heritage by re-introducing this historical product that will continue to be a favorite for years to come.”

A warm, sweet and spicy fragrance adds to the luxurious experience.
