Clean water changes everything, including the future.
100% of the purchase price* of this limited–edition Rosemary Mint candle will help fund clean water projects for communities in Ethiopia. Clean water access means better sanitation, more time for education, life-changing economic growth, and so much more.
Since Earth Month 2018, we’ve partnered with charity: water to create clean water access for people around the world. Together, we continue to help light the way for change — this year with our 20th anniversary Light The Way™ candle, made with 100% naturally derived soy wax and our iconic Rosemary Mint aroma.
