In addition to Menopause Awareness, October also marks the arrival of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign that places an emphasis on the importance of regular screenings. While we highly encourage you to donate directly to organizations like the Susan G. Komen Fund, National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., The Pink Agenda, and others, a number of beauty and fashion brands, like Estée Lauder and Jimmy Choo, are also donating a thoughtful portion of their sales through Halloween and beyond to anchor current and future breast cancer initiatives.
To help you narrow down a few ways to shop your favorite products while making a difference, we've curated a short list of companies pledging upwards of 10 percent of their profits this month to breast cancer research.
Amika
Amika has maintained an ongoing partnership with the organization HairToStay—which works to fund scalp-cooling technology to cancer patients in need—since 2018. This year, in addition to donating one percent of all online sales from loveamika.com to the HairToStay, Amika has also released a limited-edition of its beloved Soulfood Nourishing Mask, with four dollars from each individual sale benefiting the charity.
AnaOno x ThirdLove
Dana Donofree founded the bra label AnaOno after overcoming breast cancer when she was 27. AnaOno includes bras specifically designed for post-surgery, meeting an underserved need on the bra market, in addition styles catering to a range of sizes and needs. The brand’s vital work caught ThirdLove’s attention, and for Breast Cancer Awareness month both labels are donating care packages to cancer patients and survivors through Living Beyond Breast Cancer, a nonprofit.
