In the context of International Women's Day on March 8, we can show our support for the cause in many ways. Even through makeup and beauty products. There are a number of cosmetic brands that are working on different very interesting projects in which women are reinforced.
From supporting breast cancer research like Avon does, to the Land of Women Award promoted by Yves Rocher, to the use of ingredients grown by fair trade women's cooperatives such as The Body Shop, L'Occitane or Lush. All these cosmetic purchases hide an initiative that tries to empower women a little more every day. And we love that.
