Here’s how our favorite beauty brands are helping out during Breast Cancer Awareness Month
If you’ve noticed more talk of breast cancer online, it’s probably because the entire month of October is officially Breast Cancer Awareness month. Considering the fact that 1 in 8 women will contract breast cancer within in her lifetime, spreading awareness of the breast cancer warning signs, connecting women with resources for early screenings, and raising funds for breast cancer research and treatment are all incredibly important aims.
Luckily, we’re living in a time when many American brands and organizations regularly funnel funding towards breast cancer prevention, particularly during October. In fact, an impressive handful of beauty brands are supporting Breast Cancer Awareness month through scaled donations and campaigns.
In order to save you a confusing spiderweb of Google searches, we’ve gathered the top beauty brands taking steps to support Breast Cancer Awareness:

13Kiehl’s
For the month of October, Kiehl’s is running a #KissTheCure social media campaign. All you have to do is post a kissing photo (kiss marks, a kissy face, whatever your interpretation is) onto Instagram and include the tags #Kiehls and #KissTheCure, and Kiehl’s will donate $1 to Bright Pink and The Brem Foundation. This gives us the perfect reason to grab another Kiehl’s Kiss the Cure Butterstick Lip Treatment Duo ($32) because the brand will also donate 100 percent of net profits (up to $25,000) to Bright Pink.
