The Body Shop has a great post-Christmas shopping event going on.

Go to their home page and add a $5 “Bag for Life” to your cart for $5. Then, add as many items as you wish to the cart.

Not only will you get the bag (pictured here), the price of all the products in your cart will be adjusted to 50% off. And $2 from each bag will go towards the various charities that the Body Shop supports, including campaigns to stop sex trafficking around the world, campaigns to stop domestic violence, and campaigns to stop HIV and AIDS.

This deal will last only as long as the bags last, and they seem to be going fast!

The Body Shop Tantalizing Lip Butter is a great way to protect and soften your lips.

It uses a dragon fruit extract to moisturize your lips, and also provides national antioxidant properties. It’s a great way to protect and promote health for your lips from the good folks at The Body Shop.

The proceeds from this lip butter goes to support the Staying Alive Foundation, a worldwide HIV and AIDS prevention resource.

The Body Shop Bag for Life is a stylish tote bag that’s handy to take while shopping, stylish, and carries a great message with it. It’s made of 100% unbleached organic cotton. The bag is 13.39 inches x 15.75 inches.  

• On both side is the message “Green is not a colour it’s a state of mind”. You’ll be helping the environment by using this bag to shop instead of plastic or paper bags. Plus, proceeds go to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Is there a woman in your life or are you one that would love to have soft and luxuriously smooth lips? This Guarana Berry MTV Lip Butter from The Body Shop is an all-natural product that includes paulinia cupana seed extract which improves the skin, shea butter for softening effect, and organic beeswax to seal in moisture (and furthermore is a fair use product that helps workers in developing countries).

Proceeds from the sale will be donated to the MTV Staying Alive Foundation, which helps young people become involved in bringing awareness to HIV and AIDS prevention and education.

Buy it along with other great charitable gifts from the Body Shop, and put it all together in a lovely gift bag from The Body Shop, which ALSO goes to support a great cause, Stop Violence in the Home Foundation.

Domestic violence is one of the most horrible scourges of this society. It’s a crime that often goes unreported and results in the lives of women and their families being torn asunder.

The Body Shop Stop Violence in the Home Lip Care Stick is a small way to show support for ending this scourge. $2 of proceeds for each stick sold supports the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

The lip balm itself is made of organic beeswax, which confitions the skin and promotes healing by sealing in moisture. Another benefit of this product is that because the product is from The Body Shop, they acquire their beeswax from the tropical forests of Northwest Zambia, where fair trade practices help more than 3,000 beekeepers sustain their traditional way of life.

It’s not often that one purchase can help end domestic violence and support needy workers in emerging economies.

The Body Shop Daisy Soap is a fantastic moisturizing soap from The Body Shop. It contains glycerin, which is a powerful moisturizer which helps improve softness and maximize hydration, and shea butter, which moisturizes and helps soften the skin.

It not only makes your skin feel great, it helps TWO great causes.

First, proceeds from every bar of Daisy Soap will go to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, helping women who are the victims of domestic violence and empowering them to end this terrible scourge.

Second, the soap contains daisy extract and Community Trade shea butter from Ghana. Shea butter is one of the best moisturizers in nature. Women in Ghana have used it over the generations to protect their skin from the dry winds of the Sahara desert. The Body Shop works with the Tungteiya Shea Butter Association in Northern Ghana, which is an association of around 400 women from 10 villages.

Under “fair trade” principles, they ensure a fair price for their product, allowing the women to dramatically change their lives with water pipes and wells saving hours of water collecting, better housing, medical care, food, and self esteem. They are also able to give their children, particularly their daughters and the chance to go to school.
