Haircare brand Aveda has created a Light The Way soy wax candle to benefit the Global Greengrants Fund, a non-profit organisation, to fund clean water projects.
Each candle costs $35 and all proceeds will go to a good cause, such as providing an entire year's supply of drinking water for a family in Madagascar; or buying 8m of piping to transport drinking water in Morocco.
The candles are blended with organic essential oils, including vanilla, cinnamon and ylang-ylang from Madagascar and come in recycled glass jars.
They will be available at all Aveda stores, such as the one in Tangs Beauty, from this Wednesday, March 20, 2013.
