These are the beauty brands supporting breast cancer awareness
October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the aim of focusing a much-needed spotlight on the issue. The increased visibility gives many charities the opportunity to raise as much money as possible to help fight the disease (which affects an estimated 55,000 women in the UK each year).
To support it, many of our favourite brands have stepped up, using their platform and their products to help make a difference. We’ve rounded up the best.

Regardless of sales of the product, Elemis has pledged to donate £25,000 to Breast Cancer Care.
