'Tis the season! Here are a few products that share the wealth with a good cause...
The word: This stuff is FAB. Smooth and light, and lacking the overwhelming, chemical taste of most fruit-flavored glosses. Berry, Mango and Mint were refreshing and probably the best of the flavors. (Eco-Coco is a cute name, but the combination of cocoa and mandarin was a little nauseating.) These balms are completely clear and are relatively matte, so they're a perfect stocking stuffer for that guy whose medicine-reeking ChapStick habit disgusts you. Available exclusively at Whole Foods.
Philosophy has several products where 100% of the gross profit is donated. There are shower gels benefiting the Women's Cancer Research Fund, the Rainforest Foundation and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, candles for the Joyful Heart Foundation and PBS, and a room spray for the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance (I am trying very hard not to make a joke...)
M.A.C. Viva Glam lipsticks and glosses contribute 100% to the M.A.C. AIDS Fund
*Note: I found a website called Think Before You Pink that discusses some cosmetics companies who are active in fundraising for women's cancers, but some of whose products contain cancer-causing ingredients. Something to think about.
That said (ahem), I'll mention that 10% of the retail price of any L'Oreal Color of Hope lipcolor will benefit the Ovarian Cancer Reasearch Fund.
