Remember when Brad Pitt hooked up with Kiehl’s on a new “biodegradable body cleanser” to support environmental initaitives? Well the company is reaching out to some additional celebs to help with their Earth Day initiative to benefit the Waterkeeper Alliance. Adrian Grenier, Erykah Badu, Kelly Slater and a team of students from Parsons The New School for Design have all lent their art skills in designing new unique labels for Kiehl’s “Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion”. The lotion is made with fairly-traded, organic, Moroccan Argan Oil and Argan Leaf Extract, and the bottles are made from 100% Post Consumer Recycled packaging. 100% of net proceeds from the sale of the lotion will benefit Waterkeeper.

The Limited Edition bottles will be available in Kiehl’s free-standing stores and Kiehls.com on April 20th, in time for Earth Day 2009. Each is $55.

“Vegan food is soul food in its truest form. Soul food means to feed the soul. And, to me, your soul is your intent. If your intent is pure, you are pure.”

As someone lucky enough to have a wife certified in massage therapy, I’m somewhat familiar with reiki technique. Basically, it’s a gentle laying of hands on the body to help channel and increase the energy flowing through us. Reiki practitioners believe we are all influenced in our daily lives by this “life force energy” and they work in a style similar to massage to release stress and increase relaxation.

But back to Badu — not only is she a new mom — but she’s also taken the time off to devote to her charity work; specifically her youth foundation Beautiful Love Incorporated Non Profit Development (B.L.I.N.D.) — provides community-driven development for inner-city youth through music, dance, theater and visual arts.
