December 12, 2007
Candy Paint, Where Color Meets Therapy
Carol’s Daughter, a company specializing in skin care, has announced a partnership with the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA), the nation’s leading non-profit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes and cure for lupus. Because there are an estimated 1.5 million Americans with lupus, Carol’s Daughter and the LFA are committed to improving the diagnosis and treatment of lupus and helping individuals and families affected by the disease. With a mission to increase public awareness, Carol’s Daughter and Sephora will host a series of educational/promotional events nationwide.
Lupus has affected both the mother -- Carol -- of the company founder, Lisa Price, as well as Karen Evans, Carol's Daughter spokes-beauty ... and Jada Pinkett Smith’s aunt. Price states, "We are thrilled to be working with the LFA to raise awareness and educate the public on this systematic autoimmune disease, with the hopes that a cure is in the near future."
Typically seen in women, ages 15-44, lupus is most common among African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans
And Native Americans. For unknown reasons, lupus causes the immune system attack the body’s own tissue, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage to virtually any organ system in the body.
LFA National Office staff join Carol's Daughter Founder & CEO Lisa Price (center) for the opening of the Wheaton, Maryland store on December 21. Carol's Daughter now has seven stores in addition to many retail outlets, such as Sephora and Macy's stores.
Carol’s Daughter will donate a portion of its sales proceeds from each purchase of Candy Paint lip gloss, the brand’s first color category introduction, to the LFA. This high-shine lip gloss -- available in 12 sumptuous shades with names like Park Avenue Bling and Purple Reign -- contains shea butter and aloe vera to protect and heal, while the grape seed oil, rich in antioxidants and vitamins, soothes and regenerates the lips. Formulated with a hint of peppermint flavor and loaded with all natural ingredients, Candy Paint is "where color meets therapy."
Candy Paint is available at all Carol’s Daughter stores, select Sephora and Macy’s locations, www.Sephora.com or by calling 877-540-2101. Candy Paint retails for $13.50.
