10 gorgeous beauty products supporting Breast Cancer Awareness

Giving back to health with these skincare products that raise profits for the Pink Ribbon Campaign

Text: Lewee Hoi Han

Almost one in 17 Singaporean women are likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer. As the leading cancer of ladies in Singapore, breast cancer could affect those close to home — your mum, wife, sister, daughter and even you.

The fight against breast cancer is about awareness — early detection is key and checking regularly for any potential signs and lumps. The official Breast Cancer site provides a detailed breakdown on how you should be checking your breasts, so do check it out here.

 With no cure, funds to support research and suffers is key. Many brands are running campaigns on specific products to purchase and donate concurrently. Here at The Soothe, we’ve compiled 10 beauty products  — international and local — who are committed to raising funds and awareness on breast cancer. With every purchase of the below listed items, a percentage of proceeds will be channelled to medical organisations such as the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) to help advance research.

 1)    Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede Cologne | SGD 215

This year, Jo Malone has released a limited edition version of its Peony & Blush Suede Cologne in support of The Estee Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. 

Daintily decorated with a pink ribbon on its bottle, this  opulent scent will lure you into a fragrant world of blooming peonies, juicy red apples and soft, blush suede. (Ideal for those of us who have been missing the countryside this summer).

$ 25 will be donated to the BCRF with every purchase till the end of 2020. Shop this limited edition Peony & Blush Suede Cologne now at all Jo Malone boutiques and TANGS.

2)    Glowfully H20 Jelly Mask Bundle | SGD 42.50

 Glowfully’s H20 Jelly Mask is an ultra-moisturising mask made with a blend of aloe vera, acerola cherry, and carrageenan — an ingredient oddly found in Jello. The result of its anti-oxidising and collagen-boosting ingredients is soft, hydrated skin that’s plump  to the touch. What’s more, each used jelly mask can double up as a quick body moisturiser when melted in a warm bath.

Glowfully will be donating a portion of its proceeds to the Breast Cancer Foundation in Singapore (BCF) when you purchase any mask bundle that consists of the H2O Jelly Mask. Additionally, a buy 2 get 1 free promotion will be ongoing throughout the month of October so cart out on Glowfully’s site’s now and receive a complimentary Pink Ribbon Pin while you’re at it. Subject to availability.
