The beauty and wellness industry is the latest community to join together to support those on the frontline of the coronavirus crisis.
Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham and Drew Barrymore are just some of the industry giants raising funds.
Together, they announced Beauty United, a “grassroots coalition” which will fundraise and bring awareness to the Frontline Responders Fund. “It started as a small group of beauty + wellness founders on a Zoom call instigated by @moj. It grew rapidly as we joined forces to create @thebeautyunited,” shares Zanna Roberts Rassi, co-founder of Milk Makeup.
In a video shared online, over 40 beauty and wellness leaders pledged their support.
“As we face this global health crisis, with uncertainty, sadness, and fear, we stand in solidarity. As one family,” they shared. “As one community, we pledge to fundraise to support our first-responders, and donate personal care products to frontline healthcare workers. Now is the time to be UNITED.”
Paltrow’s brand goop joins Barrymore’s Flower Beauty, Victoria Beckham Beauty, as well as Lime Crime, Unilever, Revlon and Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Skin.
