HAVE A VIP SHOPPING EXPERIENCE
Unique Swiss Skin Care has partnered with VIP as part of their “Double the Magic” program. Twenty percent of proceeds from purchases from their website go to the customer’s charity of choice. And now you can choose VIP!
Unique products are of exceptional quality: free of parabens, animal ingredients, fragrances and mineral oils and clinically tested. And, Unique is a nonprofit company. Profits are split between the various charities they support (including VIP) and The Schopfer Foundation, headquartered in Switzerland. Their goal is to provide high quality skin care products and to give back at the same time.
