Local company, Escents Aromatherapy, will launch a new women\u2019s eau de parfum line with 10% of all profits benefiting The Salvation Army and our efforts to combat human trafficking.<\/p>\n
Escents proudly supports The Salvation Army\u2019s commitment to helping victims, restoring their freedom, dignity and self-respect. Partial proceeds from the parfum line will directly benefit Deborah\u2019s Gate, The Salvation Army\u2019s specialized care program that serves international and domestic women who have been sexually exploited and need protection, housing and healing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Salvation Army is grateful to be able to collaborate with local businesses, such as Escents, who support the work we do in our communities by sharing the responsibility of spreading awareness and education around human trafficking,\u201d says Major Ken Ritson, Divisional Secretary for Public Relations & Development, The Salvation Army British Columbia Division. \u201cOur collective response to stop human trafficking in our local communities is an inspiration to continue working towards change and positive action.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are honoured to partner with The Salvation Army to profile and support its extremely important work with Deborah\u2019s Gate, a local safe house for victims of human trafficking,\u201d says Escents Founder Jacqui MacNeill. \u201cThe new fragrances are inspired by strong women, making them a natural fit with this cause and The Salvation Army’s work here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Available in four scents \u2013 Joy, Hope, Grace and Courage \u2013 each fragrance reflects the complex and unique sides of a woman, as well as what she inspires in others. Like all Escents products, the new Eau de Parfum line is made with 100% pure essential oils and botanical extracts and are DPG and phthalate free.<\/p>\n
