Though its luxurious formulation and spot-on packaging earn this limited-edition gift set a place atop our holiday wish list, there's an eco-friendly, socially conscious twist that makes it all the more irresistible:

Each purchase of a Tammy Fender+FEED P4P Bath & Body trio contributes to a healthier food system for all.

On a global scale, a donation is made via FEED Foundation to the United Nations World Food Programme’s Purchase for Progress (P4P) initiative, which purchases food from local farmers to feed hungry people in the region. And to further the success and proliferation of local farm practices and the communities that they support, the all natural, food-grade ingredients found in both Tammy Fender's Clay Body Wash — which is an equally amazing facial cleaner and shampoo, btw — and Tucuma Butter Body Balm — a brilliant conditioner, as well — are sourced from producers in struggling nations, such as Haiti. With all three unisex products made from sustainable, recyclable materials, to boot.
