Giving back – four incredible Aboriginal organisations we are donating to this weekend.

Many of the native Australian ingredients we use in our products have been used in traditional Aboriginal recipes and medicines for thousands of years! Today, we are able to reap the skin-loving benefits of these incredible natives in our products such as the & Snowflower Illuminating Face Oil,  & Desert Lime Flawless Face Micro Exfoliant, & Exotic Seed of Youth Oil and our No.3 Exotic Goddess Ageless Serum.

We want to highlight the intrinsic link that our products have to the Indigenous culture of Australia, and thank the various communities we source our ingredients from for their wealth of knowledge, incredible botanicals and everything they have shared with us. ⁠

As a way of saying thank you, and giving back to Indigenous communities, we will be donating money and product to four incredible Aboriginal organisations across Australia.

This coming weekend (1^st and 2^nd of August), we will be donating ALL proceeds from sales on ediblebeautyaustralia.com to the below organisations:

• Djirra;
• Mudgin-Gal;
• Aboriginal Women’s & Children’s Crisis Service; and

We have also donated over 300 Gold Rush Eye Creams and Sleeping Beauty Mousse's to the Happy Box Project.

To help us celebrate and highlight the intrinsic link our products have to Indigenous Australia, we have worked with talented artist Emma Hollingsworth (Mulganai) to create a limited edition package for our & Snowflower Illuminating Face Oil, which is made of 100% natural Australian natives!

Read on for more information on these organisations and other ways you can support them.

The Happy Boxes Project

Founded by Emma Sullings, the Happy Boxes Project delivers self-care packages to women in remote areas across Australia. After working as a teacher in remote areas of the Northern Territory, Emma learnt how difficult it was to access basic needs such as basic toiletries and self-care products such as deodorant, shampoo and soap.  

The Happy Boxes Project aim to:

• Support the empowerment of women through alleviating the barriers of accessing basic needs;
• Provide opportunities for women to build capacity for individual and community development; and
• Provide opportunities for women to share story and create connection to nurture positive mental health.

You can support The Happy Boxes Project by:

• Sending your own Happy Box by gathering toiletries, beauty products, sanitary items or self-care items to the HBP headquarters.
• Spreading the word about the Happy Boxes Project
• Donating directly to the project here.
