Aveda Light the Way Earth Month Candle 2009

Posted by Robin on 31 March 2009 7 Comments

Aveda Light The Way candle 2009Now available at Aveda: the 2009 Light the Way candle. This year's model, which honors Earth Month and the Aveda brand's 30th anniversary, features soy wax and a "French-inspired stress-relieving aroma exclusively comprised of Ecocert certified organic ingredients, including lavender, lavandin and clary sage".

100% of the proceeds from the candle will go to support Aveda's Earth Month partner, Global Greengrants Fund. The money will be used to help fund community-based water projects around the world. Aveda hopes to raise $3 million in 30 days. 

The 2009 Aveda Light the Way candle will be sold through April only, and retails for $10. The burn time is around 30 hours. (via press release)

We have one to give away, look for that next week.

    you know, I may pick one of these up on my walk home from work today (there’s an Aveda on the way)…my apartment could use some stress relief right about now. 🙂

      It’s a worthy cause, and I’m impressed that they’re giving away 100% of the proceeds!

      Possible that they’re not in stores yet though…it’s supposed to be an April limited edition.

    I love Aveda candles and their fragrance oils but this one is an allergy attack waiting to happen. Lavender always makes my sinuses and eyes swell with irritation. Maybe this is why I’m never relaxed – everything “relaxing” contains lavender!

      I’m not allergic to it, but I’ve never found lavender at all relaxing either. Apparently everyone else does though!

        Lavender has always invigorated me. I used to use my sister’s Lavender Vanilla BBW shower gel and it always woke me up. It’s kind of a mentholated smell, usually.

    Lavender, although it smells great, gives me a whacking headache. Sigh.
