LGBTQ+ Ally Beauty Brands
Over the last few years we’ve seen many a beauty brand flash a rainbow over a palette and call it support for the LGBTQ+ community during Pride month but not all brands are true allies. Today I’m separating those who might be cashing in on Pride from the brands who are making a difference and highlighting those who are putting money where their rainbows are. Here are beauty brands who truly support the LGBTQ+ community. Rainbow packaging is cute but action is more powerful.

This year, Kiehl’s have partnered with Just Like Us to help eliminate LGBT+ bullying in schools and are donating £20,000 from sales of the Ultra Rich Face Cream.
