Allure just published an article asking 99 brands for their position on abortion rights. I just wanted to share it here in case anyone was interested in supporting brands that support women's healthcare, and taking note of who doesn't.

Thank you for posting this, @itscarin. The reactions of some brands over the last couple of months have definitely influenced some of my more recent purchasing decisions.

itscarin · ‎08-11-2022

@qusporkI'm glad you've found it helpful. I feel much more excited to make purchases knowing that brands are aligned with beliefs that I'm passionate about, too.

Thank you so much for sharing this article! I’m planning to check it out right away so I can share with one of my favorite beauty loving gals so she can join in.

itscarin · ‎08-10-2022

@Nickelliebear1Thank you for sharing and caring! I know it's a bit of reinforcing loop but I hope we can show support by showing support for brands who show support. LOL, sounds crazy, but I think you know what I mean!

@itscarin

Excellent, thank you! Will have to peruse the list further when I've got some more time, but I have one quick question...what's the asterisk for after some of the brand names?

itscarin · ‎08-10-2022

@RGbrownI'm glad you found the article helpful. @catethegreat on instagram has also compiled a list of vocally pro-choice brands.

As a woman I feel called to support other women on this very intimate issue. It's heart-warming to see some of these brands step up, and I want them to feel supported in supporting women. I wish Pat McGrath and Natasha Denona would step up!

Thanks to @WinglessOne for explaining the asterisks.

WinglessOne · ‎08-09-2022

@RGbrown Per the article: "Brands are listed alphabetically and marked with an * to denote that they signed the Don't Ban Equality pledge." A bit more info from the article:

Spoiler

"Many of the brands Allure reached out to had signed on to something called Don't Ban Equality, a coalition that began with an open letter in a 2019 New York Times ad, signed by more than 180 CEOs, which framed reproductive rights as good for a business's bottom line. The 2022 version of Don't Ban Equality has been signed by over 670 companies; over 100 are beauty and wellness companies, the rest are mostly from the finance, fashion, and tech industries. The pledge states, in part, that "the economic losses from existing abortion restrictions, including labor force impact and earnings, already cost state economies across the nation an estimated $105 billion annually," stating further that "we stand against policies that hinder people's health, independence, and ability to fully succeed in the workplace." It does not include any type of commitment to action or donation. But a few signees have also taken concrete action: Benefit Cosmetics has donated over $500,000 to Planned Parenthood since 2019 and Pacifica Beauty has pledged to donate a minimum of $100,000 to the ACLU this year. Other brands declined to comment on anything specific that they are doing or plan to do to defend the reproductive rights of their consumer base."

And thank you @itscarin for posting this!

itscarin · ‎08-10-2022

@WinglessOneThanks for sharing that part of the article! With social media, a lot of actions have become very performative, so it's nice that Allure took the time to ask each brand for comments to make the distinction between what's a performative action and what has real action behind it.

RGbrown · ‎08-09-2022

@WinglessOne

Many thanks for that info!

Anastasia Beverly Hills *

The brand has not made a public statement and representatives for ABH declined to comment.

Andalou Naturals *

The brand made a public statement on Facebook supporting abortion as "health care and a human right." The post continued: "We are proud to support the movement to protect access to abortion across the country and to support our people." Representatives declined to comment further.

Andrew Fitzsimons Hair *

On June 13, Andrew Fitzsimons Hair posted a statement on Instagram that said, in part, "As a brand built on empowering people, we believe everyone should have the access to the medical care they need, including access to safe abortions, without restrictions. We stand with our industry peers against policies that limit people's independence and their ability to make their own personal health decisions."

Andrew Fitzsimons, a hairstylist and the founder of the brand, is currently spearheading a beauty industry-wide fundraiser to support Planned Parenthood. Details are to be announced in the coming weeks, but a representative asked that brands interested in being involved reach out to andrewfitzsimons@nouveaucommunications.com.

Additionally, Andrew Fitzsimons Hair is building a landing page that will be a permanent fixture on the brand's website, under the Social Giving tab. This page will include information and resources for people who become pregnant and need safe access to an abortion (particularly for those in states where it is no longer legal), and ways that anyone can take action in support of reproductive health.

Beautyologie *

Beautyologie offered a statement to Allure, which read in part: "While we are educating our consumers about how the women sourcing the ingredients in our beauty products come from developing countries and deal with many injustices every day, we are cognizant and empathic to the grave injustices we American female consumers are now experiencing with the overturning of Roe v. Wade. We want our customers to know that we do not tolerate discrimination, abuse, or exploitation on any level." On July 13, the brand shared an Instagram post in support of the Bans Off Our Bodies walkout meant to call attention to the fight for abortion rights.

Beekman 1802 *

The brand has not made a public statement, but sent Allure the following: "We do recognize this is a personal issue and views will vary across our employees and neighbors (what we call our customers), and want to ensure we maintain an environment of kindness and inclusivity for our team. We will continue to monitor and evolve our benefits and policies to ensure our employees have access to care and support should this impact other issues."

The Schenectady, New York-based company currently provides travel assistance and paid time off to access reproductive care for employees who can no longer get care close to home after the recent ruling. Beekman 1802 told Allure it has donated an undisclosed amount to Planned Parenthood, along with products for a Los Angeles fundraiser organized by beauty journalists Elizabeth Denton and Kelly Atterton, which earned over $50,000 for Planned Parenthood.

Benefit Cosmetics *

The brand made a public statement after the ruling, which read in part, "Many of our U.S. employees reside in states that will be directly impacted by this ruling and risk losing access to reproductive health care. We will cover travel expenses for any Benefit employee who needs access to safe health care options where their reproductive rights are challenged."

In addition, Benefit Cosmetics stated its broad support of reproductive rights, then shared ways to help those fighting to protect those rights. The original post is pinned to the top of the brand's Instagram page. Benefit Cosmetics has donated over $500,000 to Planned Parenthood since 2019.

Beyond Yoga *

The brand made a public statement that said in part, "Supporting and empowering the health and well-being of women has always been a part of our brand's mission.

In addition, Beyond Yoga has donated $30,000 to the ACLU to support its work to protect reproductive rights.

Billie

When the Supreme Court's majority-opinion draft was leaked in May, Billie made a public statement, noting that it has "celebrated and championed women's rights to make choices for themselves" since day one. Two days after the draft was leaked, the brand also announced it was donating $100,000 to the ACLU.

Black Girl Sunscreen *

On June 24, the brand posted a statement on Instagram that partly said, "We are deeply disheartened and broken over the heartless decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. A woman should have full autonomy over her body — and that should never be up for debate." The brand declined to comment further.

Bluemercury

The retailer has not made a public statement and declined to comment beyond sharing a statement on behalf of the brand's parent company, Macy’s Inc. It said, in part, that along with its current medical coverage options and paid time off, Macy's Inc. "made the decision to expand [its] benefits program to provide travel reimbursement for colleagues to receive the medical care needed." The statement also noted that Macy's Inc. "will abide by existing laws and legal standards."

The New York City-based company has expanded its employee health benefits in the U.S., and employees based in states where access to abortion care is limited or restricted are now eligible for transportation and accommodation reimbursement up to $10,000, along with time off. A representative told Allure that the company is "currently assessing what would be the most impactful partnership [for a donation]." Neither Coty nor any of its brands have made a public statement.

Credo *

Credo made a public statement on Instagram, pledging support for the right to choose. The retailer told Allure that it is "actively pursuing" how to help provide resources for reproductive care for employees who have lost access. (Credo has one location in Texas, where abortion, as of the end of August, will be illegal under any circumstance unless it is necessary to save the life of the mother.)

CRUDE *

A representative for the brand did not respond to requests for further comment.

Dame Products *

The sexual wellness brand made a statement on its Instagram on June 24 saying, in part, "Denying access to abortion makes the world less sexually safe… Abortion is health care. Abortion is mental health care. Abortion is child care. Hell, abortion is community care." It also donated an undisclosed amount to the National Network of Abortion Funds. Back in May, Dame joined other brands to support health care brand Stix's donation fund for Restart, its emergency contraceptive pill, to provide free access for those who can't afford it.

Deciem

Deciem, majority owned by Estée Lauder and based in Canada, issued a statement on Instagram in support of "equitable access to reproductive health care and the right of every individual to control their own personal health and well-being decisions."

Dieux Skin

The skin-care brand made a statement on Instagram at the end of June that said, in part, it was "looking at how we can best help people make decisions about their own health when it comes to abortion," deciding to focus on supporting organizations and clinics that are on the ground helping to provide and maintain access to safe abortions. A representative told Allure that Dieux Skin donated $5,000 this month to the National Network of Abortion Funds' ActBlue fund, which will go to over 90 local abortion providers. Moving forward, $1 from all sales of Dieux Skin's Instant Angel face cream will go to the fund; the company estimates it will be between a $5,000 and $10,000 donation each month.

Dove *

On June 25, Dove issued a statement on its Instagram page: "It's her body. It should be her choice.… We believe it is a fundamental right for women to make decisions about their own bodies and futures. Our parent company, Unilever, is committed to providing our U.S. employees with comprehensive reproductive health care benefits to cover travel costs if care is no longer available in their home states. Together with Unilever, we are joining hundreds of other businesses in signing on to Don't Ban Equality, to add our voice in standing for policies that promote people's health and independence." The brand declined to comment further.

Dr. Dennis Gross

The skin-care brand has made two public statements on its Instagram in the wake of the Roe decision, the second directly from CEO Carrie Gross: "Not only as a mother of four, but as an advocate for all, the overturning of Roe v. Wade is deeply troubling…. We are going to continue to fight for bodily autonomy and the right to choose." The brand made an "initial donation" of $5,000 to Planned Parenthood, and a representative said the brand is currently "considering donations to smaller, regional reproductive health centers" in areas that are most affected. The brand has also pledged to provide employees with coverage for travel and medical expenses where options have been limited.

Drunk Elephant

Drunk Elephant's parent company, Shiseido America, is working to expand benefits to cover travel and other expenses for employees who seek certain reproductive health procedures that may not be locally available. There is no date yet on when such benefits might go into effect, but as part of the company portfolio, Drunk Elephant employees would be entitled to them. Drunk Elephant has not made a public statement about Roe v. Wade and referred Allure to Shiseido Americas's statement.

E.L.F. Beauty *

E.L.F. Beauty brands (e.l.f. Cosmetics, Keys Soulcare, and Well People) have all made public statements to provide "unwavering support to our community… we will always champion women's rights and we are committed to the fight for freedom of choice and reproductive rights for all." Over the last year, the company donated approximately $75,000 to Planned Parenthood and matched employee donations to this organization and others that support women's rights and equality. On top of the corporate match, chairman and CEO Tarang Amin also personally matched every employee donation to these organizations, "giving employees a 3x match to their most meaningful charitable organizations," according to a company representative.

E.L.F. Beauty will cover the cost of travel and lodging to provide employees with access they need for reproductive care services. Additionally, E.L.F. Beauty provides support with flexible, paid time off for employees to volunteer, including participation in rallies occurring nationwide.

Ellis Brooklyn *

The fragrance brand has not made a public statement about Roe being overturned, but founder Bee Shapiro shared that the brand participated in the Planned Parenthood walkout on July 13.

EMILIE HEATHE *

CEO and founder Emily H. Rudman told Allure via email that the brand set up a donation for Planned Parenthood on social media, and she has "personally donated in the past." Along with an Instagram post in response to the recent Roe decision, Rudman says the brand stopped using "a well-known vendor who provides shipping materials upon realizing they support people who supported this overturn, among other things I cannot professionally be a part of." Rudman added that she is "heavily considering not doing certain types of business in states that are banning abortion."

Esker Beauty *

Esker Beauty has shared its support of the Don't Ban Equality pledge with consumers on Instagram, and founder and CEO Shannon Davenport told Allure that she met with Alexis McGill Johnson, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, in March, before the Supreme Court leak became public. "There was still a sense of alarm and a need to act even before then, so when the dreaded day actually came, we jumped right in," Davenport said in a statement. "We've donated 1 percent of our gross e-commerce sales in June to Planned Parenthood. I've also donated personally to Planned Parenthood, throughout my life, in small increments."

Davenport added that while she "feel[s] somewhat powerless," the brand is "focused on the community we're building and making sure we are creating an open and honest dialogue about our bodies with no shame or stigma."

Estée Lauder Companies

Parent company of Estée Lauder, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, La Mer, Smashbox, and more.

On June 24, Estée Lauder Companies issued a statement that it "provides comprehensive benefits to our full-time benefits eligible and part-time benefits-enrolled employees that enable them to make personal health decisions. These benefits extend to procedures related to women's reproductive health, and we will now include coverage of travel and lodging necessary to access reproductive health care in the United States that may not be easily accessible or locally available to employees and their dependents enrolled in ELC's medical plan."

A representative told Allure that these benefits also extend to all dependents of full- and part-time benefits-enrolled employees. The only Estée Lauder brands that have spoken out publicly are MAC, which previously donated $500,000 to Planned Parenthood over the course of two years, and Deciem, which announced a donation of $100,000 CAD to the same organization on June 28.

Flower Beauty

Drew Barrymore's beauty line could not be reached for comment by Allure and has not issued a public statement.

FUR *

The brand cofounders posted a statement on Instagram in June, which said, in part: "Our mission to support the personal choices you make about your body would be meaningless without taking actionable steps to support this larger fundamental right." After the draft ruling leaked last spring, the statement continued, Fur donated $10,000 to the National Network of Abortion Funds. The company also shared a list of other organizations to support in the fight to restore reproductive care for everyone. A representative for the brand told Allure that "the Fur team, individually and collectively, is regrouping to decide upon actionable next steps."

Glossier, Inc. *

A representative for Glossier said the brand has pledged money to an organization that supports reproductive rights since the Roe reversal, though the company "do[es] not disclose donation amounts and specific partners." The New York City-based brand has also extended health care coverage to support employees who live in states with abortion bans, covering reproductive care and travel costs for those who need it. Glossier posted against the reversal on Instagram, too.

Glow Recipe *

That weekend the brand also raised funds for NNAF at its New York City Matcha Lemonade pop-up, issuing a statement — also the brand founder's pregnancy announcement — on Instagram: "We stand alongside you in frustration, and hope to do what we can as a family biz to show up and fight for what matters most — a safe and healthy future for all of us."

Goop *

Goop launched the Goop Giving Task Force in response to the Roe reversal. The employee collective will create programming, plan volunteer opportunities, and secure donations to support organizations committed to reproductive justice. There are no specifics at this time.

I've also donated personally to Planned Parenthood, throughout my life, in small increments."Davenport added that while she "feel[s] somewhat powerless," the brand is "focused on the community we're building and making sure we are creating an open and honest dialogue about our bodies with no shame or stigma."Estée Lauder CompaniesParent company of Estée Lauder, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, La Mer, Smashbox, and more.

We also believe health care decisions are best determined by individuals in consultation with their health care provider. We offer reimbursement for travel expenses to U.S. employees and their families for eligible medical services not available from any in-network or out-of-network provider within 100 miles of the patient's home. This includes treatments such as cell therapy, gene therapy, organ transplantation, and reproductive health care."

The statement said that "a range of external factors are increasingly affecting access to health care in the U.S. The pandemic has led to a shortage of health care professionals and specialized medical care in some parts of the country. The legislative environment and the recent Supreme Court decision (Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health) are also affecting where some health care needs can be met."

The statement said that "a range of external factors are increasingly affecting access to health care in the U.S. The pandemic has led to a shortage of health care professionals and specialized medical care in some parts of the country. The legislative environment and the recent Supreme Court decision (Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health) are also affecting where some health care needs can be met." In response to outreach from Allure, a representative said, "This is an important issue to many people and we recognize their broad range of views. As we have for many years, P&G supports our employees in having access to a wide range of health care options – including reproductive care – so they can determine what's best for them and their families."

Pacifica is also offering bail to any employee who ends up getting arrested while peacefully protesting. The company posted on Instagram an expression of outrage after the Roe reversal came down.Pattern Beauty *Pattern Beauty made a public statement on Instagram that condemned the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade as "a dangerous, calculated, and regressive curtailment of women's rights and of our status as free and equal citizens." The brand also made an undisclosed donation to Planned Parenthood. Founder Tracee Ellis Ross responded to Allure's list of questions in full, saying in part, "PATTERN supports democracy, freedom, and reproductive justice with and through organizations that empower women and people of color, including Color of Change and Planned Parenthood. As an active space to celebrate Black beauty and uplift our community, we are committed to supporting experts and organizations that champion equity and access for our most vulnerable…. As a diversity, equity, and inclusion advisor for Ulta Beauty, I am often brought in to provide counsel in the beauty industry," she continued. "I will continue to encourage all retailers to lean into equity and reproductive rights as value-based practices, not just performative ones."Plantkos *A representative said that the brand plans to donate to Planned Parenthood in August. So far, Plantkos's only public statement has been to share on its Instagram Stories Michelle Obama's June 24 post in support of reproductive rights, but the brand told Allure that, "when appropriate, we will share posts about updates to the law and where to seek supporting info." Plantkos is based in Florida, where abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy are now banned, even in cases of r4pe or incest.
