Zambian Coffee Body Scrub

Gah! Has it really been month plus since our last post? Sorry, so sorry, but we've been busy launching new products and getting ready for our move. I'll post more about the move later, but for now, let's talk about one of our newest products - Zambian Coffee Body Scrub.

Made with Zambian coffee, pure white cane sugar, coffee oil and a decadent blend of butters and oils, this body scrub is sure to get your skin unbelievably smooth and your heart-a-racin'. This is a rich, thick and densely packed scrub emulsifies into a decadent cream once it comes into contact with warm water and your skin. Have cellulite? Anti-oxidant rich coffee has been said to have a diuretic effect, dehydrating fat cells, thereby making skin look smoother (read, less bumpy and lumpy.)

But here's the best part. Crater Lake Company has partnered with Camfed to help win the fight against HIV/AIDS and poverty in southern African nations. 20% of our profits from the sale of each Zambian Coffee Body Scrub goes to this wonderful organization. Camfed is an amazing organization that educates girls and empowers women to become leaders of change in their community. Research has shown that when you educate a girl in Africa, she'll be three times less likely to get HIV/AIDS, earn 25% more income and have a smaller, healthier family.


As a woman fortunate enough to live in the United States, I know that I have more opportunities to succeed and better options to consider than my counterparts in developing and impoverished nations. Camfed seeks to change the lives of women living in impoverishd southern African nations like Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi and Zimbabwe through education. It's a wonderful cause that deserves your support. Camfed places transparency at the core of their operations and there are just two transactions between the donation and the beneficiary.

So buy a jar and help a good cause. Better yet, buy a jar and make a donation. You'll be glowing inside and out.
