World Aids Day: care for the cure with these products
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.As in past years, Kiehl's and other brands have created limited-edition products that make it easy to do your share for World Aids Day.
This year's Hand Care for a Cure hand cream by Kiehl's, selling for $12.50 on the label's website and in its international boutiques, is meant to protect your hands from winter dryness, with all its net profits going to AIDS research foundation amfAR.
In addition, Kiehl's has teamed up with fashion designer Derek Lam, who previously compiled a travel kit of beauty products for the brand. This time, Lam designed a quilt made from 48 fabric squares assembled from Kiehl's employees all over the world. The final piece goes on show at the Kiehl's store on 13th Street/3rd Avenue in New York December 1 before it will go on a global tour and be auctioned off for charity.
Kiehl's is not the only beauty brand releasing beauty products for the cause: MAC, for example, has launched the Miracles Happen Viva Glam Lip Kit ($22.50), which benefits the MAC AIDS Fund.
In fashion, hand-drawn Converse RED sneakers will become available on the label's website December 5, Nike's RED Laces to help cure AIDS in Africa are already available, and Stella McCartney has teamed up with the Gap (which currently also carries her kids' line) for the RED Stella T, featuring bright-red printed jewelry.
Both MAC's Viva Glam lipstick range and RED products benefit AIDS-related research all year around.
