Throughout December, skin and haircare specialist Kiehl's is selling its 'Ultimate Strength Hand Salve' in aid of Terrence Higgins Trust (THT). Launching on World AIDS Day, December 1, 100% of net profits will be donated to the charity.

Selling the hand salve in aid of THT is part of a wider 'Shop to Stop AIDS' campaign. Fundraising will be going on in 13 countries and 41 stores worldwide. Kiehl's has supported HIV organisations for some time and in the past has donated the proceeds of a Lip balm and a cleanser to THT.

Debbie Holmes, Director of Fundraising at Terrence Higgins Trust said "Kiehl's is a fantastic supporter of ours and we're delighted that they're raising money for us again this year. We hope that our supporters will try and make it to one of the Kiehl's stores or concessions to do some of their Christmas shopping. It's a really easy way to support us on World AIDS Day and throughout December."

Kiehl's 'Ultimate Strength Hand Salve' is a limited edition and costs £12.72 (75ml).

Notes

- Kiehl's was founded as an old-world apothecary in New York's East Village neighbourhood. Its unique and extensive background represents a blend of cosmetic, pharmaceutical, herbal, and medicinal knowledge developed and passed on through the generations.
