Rare Beauty
Actress Selena Gomez’s beauty brand puts an emphasis on supporting young people and has been open about her own mental health issues in a bid to raise awareness.
“Sometimes, my highs are really high, and my lows can take me out for weeks at a time. When I found out I suffer from mental health issues, in many ways it was a relief because I could better understand what’s going on. I realised that there was a way to get help, and for me, that also meant finding the right treatments,” Gomez shared on Rare Beauty’s website.
The brand has various initiatives, including the Rare Impact Fund, which helps people access the resources they need to support their mental health. It donates 1% of all sales to the Fund and also fundraises with philanthropic foundations and corporate partners to increase access to mental health services in educational settings. It works closely with mental health charities and publishes and annual ‘social impact’ report, as well as regular blog post articles about mental health.
