Kiehl’s Since 1851, proudly announces our Limited Edition Ultra Facial Cream for our community partner Adoption Awareness.
The cult New York-based purveyor of fine quality skin and hair care for men and women has a strong and well established history of working with worthwhile causes whose mission in some way is, to improve the quality of the community to which it is committed.
Artistically inspired by children within the adoption community aged between 6yrs and 16yrs, 3 individual designs have been created to generate funds and support for Adoption Awareness. Each artistic design has a unique story to tell about the creation of their forever family.
With a proud history as a family founded, authentic, charitable, community-oriented brand that gives back wherever possible, this Kiehl’s Limited Edition range with
Adoption Awareness is set to create positive awareness and a positive
self-image for the children and families of the adoption community in Australia.
Adoption Awareness Founder, Deborra Lee Furness, As the foundation of family is so intrinsic to our efforts at Adoption Awareness, we are thrilled to announce our partnership with Kiehl’s – which is a family founded business and a socially conscious organization wanting to serve their community
We are thrilled to join forces and believe Kiehl’s and Adoption Awareness will work together to bring awareness and shining a light on what matters...serving our community and most importantly our children.
So here is the amazing background behind the pictures you will see them actually come to life and really touch your heart, well I know I did anyway. 
INDIA-  16 years old – Local Adoptee
"Mum, you never saw me as a baby and this is a picture of what I think I would have looked like"
Ultra Facial Cream ‘India’ Lmt Edt 50ml $34 Ultra Facial Cream ‘India’ Lmt Edt 125ml $64
You can see the sadness in this picture at the thought of never getting to meet her parents and how upset she would have been at the time having to be put into a world she never knew and probably did not want to know at that stage of her life. 



TYRAH-  6 years old – Local Adoptee
“I drew a picture of some of my favourite people & my cat Nero – I’ve drawn my two close friends; they are also adopted & I’ve known them all of my life. I also drew my Mummy and their Mummy’s – they are my Mummy’s special friends too! We go out together and spend special time together.”

This one for me goes to show the light that can be brought into a little adoptee's life and how much of a difference it can make. When people adopt a child it is because they are searching for that missing piece of their life and it is an unconditional love. I think in a subconscious way the child also knows in a way they were saved and brought into a very loving family and will be forever grateful, just like Tyrah.


SANG
- 8 years old – International Adoptee
On behalf of Sang, his dad said: “Sang says he likes to eat pancakes and Anzac Biscuits when he paints! He likes the colours in his butterfly painting.
He joined our family aged six months from South Korea in 2005 and we recognized his birth and foster parents via his full name Joo Sang Song Kim O'Neill.”

 For me this is my favourite image and I would even go as far to say I would love to have this printed on a canvas and up on my room in the living area. It is beautiful and even more beautiful knowing the story behind it. I too agree with Sang and love the colours he has compiled to make this image come to life. 


100% of the net profits from the sale of this Limited Edition collection will benefit Adoption Awareness to support the advocacy and development of resources to serve the children and families within the adoption community, because every child deserves a forever family.

 Now if you ask me this is certainly a donation worth doing, after all just the facial cream itself is beautiful but knowing you are helping children out there are even better!! I know personally I will be going out at some stage or another and buying myself one of these.
