Treat mother to some green and gorgeous beauty indulgences…
March 20, 2009 by Yanar Alkayat
If your mum is constantly rooting through your beauty box and badgering you for the latest anti-ageing secrets, then it’s time to treat her with some indulgent beauty buys that are luscious and green. Whatever her fancy, we’ve hand picked the best of the beauty bunch…
Every year Aveda releases Light the Way candles to raise money for Earth Month and while the campaign usually raises around $1 million, the goal this year is to raise $3 million in 30 days. The aim is to raise awareness for clean water rights so 100% of proceeds will go towards funding community-based water projects around the world.
Now back to the candle – it’s a soy candle with relaxing and organically grown lavender and clary sage, all EcoCert certified too. The packaging is 95% post-consumer waste glass and the carton is made from old Aveda products.
Top tip: Always snip the black ends of the wick before lighting up again to ensure a clean and even burn.

Beautiful packaging and I am sure it smells amazing as most Aveda products do, but I am suspicious of Green projects by Aveda, since I noticed that the formulations of some the products have changed to be less natural since Aveda were brought out by Estee Lauder. This candle feels like it is too small a project considering the volumes and profits that Aveda make. The brand started with such great principals but this feels like it was created in order to run a positive PR campaign.
