Everyone has bad days, and sometimes it shows. If it’s not in the tenseness of your shoulders, then it’s in fine lines and a dull complexion on your face. It’s times like these that you know you should step back and treat yourself.

FORMULATED WITH TWO
INGREDIENTS INSPIRED BY NATURE
 |
| As one of its corporate social responsibility initiatives, Kiehl’s gave back to the women farmers of its Ginger Leaf by providing education and tools to the local community to identify new crops. |
Botanical Hibiscus Seed Extract
Cultivated in Southern India, the Hibiscus Seeds are separated from their nutshells before being ground. The active fraction, constituted of Hydrolyzed Proteins, is then extracted from the seeds, purified and filtered to solely keep the efficacious benefits. The Hibiscus Seeds, whose flower is known to close during the night to preserve its nectar, provide the formula with instant and overnight firming benefits.
Ginger Leaf Extract
 |
| As one of its corporate social responsibility initiatives, Kiehl’s gave back to the women farmers of its Ginger Leaf by providing education and tools to the local community to identify new crops. |
Native to Vietnam in tropical Asia, the Ginger Leaf utilized in our formula has been widely employed for its roots in traditional Chinese and Ayurveda medicine as well as in Southeast Asia as a spice and flavoring agent in the cuisine. Sourced in Hoa Binh and in the Bắc Giang province of Vietnam, and carefully collected by 14 women between March and October, the Ginger Leaves are then ground and their actives extracted before being used in our formula that reduces appearance of fine lines.

| Through Vietnamese-inspired design elements and video features, Kiehl’s highlighted its sustainable sourcing of the mask’s Ginger Leaf from local women farmers in the Hoa Binh and Bắc Giang province of Vietnam. |
A SUSTAINABLY-SOURCED GINGER LEAF EXTRACT
 |
| As one of its corporate social responsibility initiatives, Kiehl’s gave back to the women farmers of its Ginger Leaf by providing education and tools to the local community to identify new crops. |
While the Ginger Plant is very popular for its roots, its leaves are usually discarded. Kiehl’s chemists however know that the properties of its leaves can be beneficial for skin. Their sustainably-sourced Ginger Leaf extract is grown and collected by 14 local women in Hoa Binh and in the Bắc Giang province of Vietnam. At Kiehl’s, it is in their heritage to give back to the community in which they served their patrons. They provided education on sustainable and environmentally friendly farming techniques to the surrounding local community farmers in Vietnam, contributed to providing women collectors with tools to improve their work conditions and productivity, and helped to identify new crops to diversify/increase their activities and strengthen their revenues.
