Sometimes you want a little more reason than "I need a new pink lipstick," which is why I have compiled 7 beauty products with a cause. Some companies may surprise you, but either way it’s another reason to shop! So sit back and check out 7 beauty products with a cause, to give your spring shopping a step up.
Lush has some great all natural beauty products, but they can be a bit pricey for some budgets (like mine), so it’s nice to know you can spend your money on something that’s good for you and your community. Every cent you spend on Charity Pot (on the site they like you to know that yes that means every penny), goes to grassroots charities. That’s a pretty giving product if you ask me (and compare it to other product give back percentages). Charity Pot also has some great ingredients for healthy skin! It's chock full of almond oil and cocoa butter. Healthy skin AND a great cause? Win win!
I think we all know Josie Maran by now. She's the fabulous model who made argan oil HOT (and expensive). And if you too are looking at a way to justify luxuriating in the more high end spectrum of the argan oil craze, look no further than her Model Citizen collection. 10% of her Model Citizen products (which now include a cleansing oil, and a whipped body butter along with with the original argan oil) go to the Imagine Initiative. The Imagine Initiative supports empowering women in impoverished areas of the world. I’m sure you’ve never needed a reason to use a fabulous product that evens skin tone, prevents wrinkles, and dries your hair faster (I know right?), but now you have a little more encouragement.
I’ve never used this brand before, but I have admired their artistic palettes. Which, it turns out, are also charity palettes. Each season they release a new and more fabulous palette with crazy cool artwork featuring an endangered species (like bees or sea turtles). Only about 5% of what you spend goes to a charity specific to the species (a little cheap), but I guess you could keep it as art? Yeah, that kinda works.
Like you needed a reason to shop for more beauty products. But even so, I thought I would encourage you out a bit more (I’m such a good influence aren’t I?). So what do you think of these products? Which are your favorites?
