If you like having soft skin, looking at modern art, and being part of a great cause, then you'll absolutely love this news. Kiehl's is continuing its partnership with contemporary artist Jeff Koons with the release of its Creme de Corps Holiday collection. Inspired by the vibrant "Balloon Flower (Yellow)" sculpture from his "Celebration" series, 100 percent of the sales (up to $200,000) from the limited-edition offering will go to The Koons Family Institute, a branch of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.

Available for 2011 are three sizes of Jeff Koons's Balloon Flower Creme de Corps ($29 to $72) and a special Jeff Koons Bottle Art ($50) bottle-topper, a scaled-down replica of the original work. "I believe that flowers are a symbol for perfect love, and an important expression for this charitable collaboration with Kiehl's," said Koons. So load up on feel-good body care for you and your loved ones his holiday season. There's something to be said about being soft on the outside and warm and fuzzy on the inside, after all.

Hot on the heels of their initial product collaboration, Kiehl's and artist Jeff Koons are again joining forces for a charitable cause. This Saturday — and this Saturday only — Kiehl's is selling a newly designed version of its famed Creme de Corps body lotion.

Here, more of Koons's art wraps the bottle, and 100 percent of the net proceeds (up to $25,000) will go to The Koons Family Institute. For the art collector on a budget, it's a smart holiday gift. Here's the catch: the goods are available only in select New York and California stores. But, psst, if you sneak over to Kiehl's Facebook page, you can find out how to have it shipped. Just don't forget — if you have to have it, you also have to circle Dec. 4 on your calendar.

Kiehl's always has great charity initiatives, and their latest endeavor lets you put a little modern art in your medicine cabinet while helping kids in distress. The company is collaborating with artist Jeff Koons to release an arty limited edition Creme de Corps moisturizer collection, from which 100 percent of sale profits up to $200,000 will go to the Koons Family Institute, an arm of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, which leads global initiatives to protect children from sexual exploitation and abduction. The cause is extremely worthwhile, and the packaging is lovely, so if you're a fan of Soy Milk and Honey Whipped Body Butter ($35) or Creme de Corps ($27), this is definitely the time to buy your next bottle.

If you like being a smooth-complexioned do-gooder who's down with art, then Kiehl's has created the perfect storm for you. The brand's Açaí Damage-Protecting Toning Mist ($26) is a 100 percent natural, ECOCERT- and Cradle to Cradle-certified organic toner chock full of antioxidants.

What's more, it's all wrapped up in limited-edition packaging by Jeff Koons, Julianne Moore, Pharrell Williams, and Malia Jones. Each of the bottle wraps delivers a little star power with each spray — and, most importantly, all net proceeds from sales of the mist go to the Rainforest Alliance, which works to protect biodiversity and give people living in forested areas sustainable livelihoods. The project is expected to raise $200,000, and the goods are on sale now.
