Selena Gomez’s Cosmetics Line Is Giving Mental Health the Platform It Needs With the Rare Impact Fund
Selena Gomez’s beauty brand announced a new charity called the Rare Impact Fund, reminding us that the conversation on mental health never stops- even on Selena’s birthday.
Rare Beauty announced the news in a powerful Instagram post that outlined their pledge to raise $100 million over the next 10 years. Although the cosmetics line was only founded in February, they’re already making their mark as a force for good in the beauty world by donating 1% of every sale to the Rare Impact Fund.
The money will be used to improve access to mental health services in deprived communities, carrying forward a message of love and equitable support. It’s an initiative built upon Rare Beauty’s goal to make people feel “more connected to one another and less alone in the world”, a message we can all get behind.
