- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Beauty brands are taking on new partners — and launching new products — to benefit Pride month.
Coty Inc. brands Sally Hansen and Cover Girl have introduced new products and partnerships with GLAAD for Pride. Sally Hansen is debuting four gift sets with its Insta-Dri franchise in a slew of colorways, including in rainbow pride and transgender pride color combinations. Cover Girl products will be sold alongside the Sally Hansen gift sets. Although the partnership is product-focused, it marks Cover Girl’s first time partnering with GLAAD. Sally Hansen has, to date, donated over $400,000 to the organization.
