Living with cancer is one of the most challenging and mentally fatiguing experiences anyone can go through.
With October marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month – a hugely important time for raising awareness of early detection, education and access to screening services – many brands are doubling down on their commitments to charity funding and initiatives.
Estée Lauder Companies (ELC) recently celebrated a milestone in its support of the UK breast cancer charity Future Dreams, announcing US$15m of funding for research into the disease.
Neom Wellbeing donated 750 units of Perfect Night's Sleep Magnesium Body Butter to support the Ulta Beauty Charitable Foundation (UBCF), which participated in the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) Survivorship Lab in New York, US, on 1 October.
For sleep care brand Drowsy, 20% of all Damask Rose Colourway products sold will go to the American Breast Cancer Foundation for the entire month of October.
