Skincare product-maker derma e recently announced the launch of The Paraguay Project, a unique non-profit initiative that creates fair trade, economic opportunities for people and non-profit organizations in Paraguay.

According to the press release, the new project works in two ways. To encourage fair trade, The Paraguay Project purchases Spiderweb Lace, a delicate and colorful needlework lace that is a traditional Paraguayan craft, directly from co-ops in Paraguay. The Spiderweb Lace is then sold online in the U.S. through the project’s website. All profits will be donated to two Paraguayan non-profit organizations, Global…Infancia and Guyra Paraguay.

The second tier of the project donates a percentage of the sales of all derma e’s 90+ products to The Paraguay Project.

it’s always nice to see a little social responsibility.
