Since its inception in1851, Kiehl’s has made it a priority to serve the world we live in and the people that inhabit it. Kiehl’s has made giving back such an important aspect of their business that they have gained recognition by the National Resources Defense Council as one of the Nation’s Most Environmental Activist. Over the past 150 years, Kiehl’s has even reduced their packaging by 99%. Now that’s going green!
Kiehl’s newest venture to save the world is their Recycle and Be Rewarded Program. For every empty Kiehl’s container you bring to your local store, you will be given a stamping card. Once you collect a certain number of stamps, you start earning free products: bring in three bottles and get lip balm #1, bring in five bottles and get a 2.5 oz travel collection product, or if you are really dedicated to saving the world, bring in 10 bottles and get any full size product of your choice ($25 value). I can’t think of a better combination - saving the world and free beauty products!
Prefer to moisturize to help the environment? You can check out Kiehl’s latest philanthropic effort, the limited edition Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion. Not only does this lotion hydrate skin, but it helps improve skin’s resilience and texture, enrich skin’s moisture barrier and leaves skin looking healthy. You know Kiehl’s is committed to serving the greater good because even the argan oil used in this lotion is fairly traded.
To promote this unique lotion, Kiehl’s has teamed up with professional surfer Kelly Slater, actor Adrian Grenier, musician Erykah Badu, and Parsons the New School of Design, and promised to donate 100% of all proceeds sold from this lotion ( up to $100,000). The generous donation will support Waterkeeper Alliance; a nonprofit organization founded in 1999 by Robert Kennedy Jr. to find solutions to the world’s clean water problems.
Be on the lookout, because Kiehl’s is always creating new ways to help our planet. You can learn more about Kiehl’s and their efforts to better our world by checking out www.kiehlsgivesback.com.

Going green is very important for our environment. The list of people who have joined in this effort to promote these products and make donations is very impressive.
