This year’s solidarity balm is mixed with shea butter and rose combined with motifs resembling African wax-print fabrics which are worn by Burkinabé women. The balm nourishes and protects the skin, suitable for lips, body and hair.
The balm is currently available in stores and retails for $6. It will remain in stores past International Women’s Day (March 8).
One hundred percent of the profits earned from the sale will support the NGO projects in Burkina Faso promoting women’s leadership. The brand has kept a goal of earning donations of $410,000 worldwide.
