Happy Lunar New Year! To usher in the year of the sheep, we're committing to buying some. For every bottle of argan oil purchased on givingbeauty.com from February 19th to March 18th, 2015, we'll be donating 100% of sales to the purchase of sheep for the Berber women of our argan cooperative. Why sheep?

• their wool can be used to weave rugs for use at home or to sell at market
• their milk provides food for families
• if bred, offspring can be sold at market for a profit

Kahina did this initiative back in 2012 (above is Katharine with some of her donated sheep). Our goal this year is 15 sheep impacting 15 women. Did you know? The Year of the Sheep is associated with goodwill and giving back. From a recent Well & Good article: “ is considered to be the good Samaritan of the zodiac. Potentially, there will be more attention to the environment, and people will be more inclined to give back,” Wendell says. “ are good-natured and sensitive to beauty and balance.” Support our efforts.
