9 Beauty Buys That Help Fund the Causes Close to Your Heart

A portion of the sales from The Lipstick Lobby's Outrage Lipstick ($19) will go toward the American Civil Liberties Union, an organization that defends constitutional rights. The ACLU is currently aiding in the court battle against President Donald Trump's travel ban and has previously worked to protect women's access to abortions and LGBTQ+ rights.

Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico, and weeks after the storm, the majority of citizens still do not have power. From now until Oct. 20, 30 percent of Sassy Lips's sales will go directly toward relief efforts. We love When Your Crush Walks In ($20), a bullet/gloss hybrid that leaves a soft pink flush on your lips.

Over 16 million US adults suffer from depression. Hope the Uplifting Fragrance Hand and Body Cream ($40) donates 100 percent of its proceeds to research against the condition. It contains notes of lily of the valley, jasmine, gardenia, and tuberose.

Clove + Hallow will donate 15 percent of the cruelty-free and vegan Psych Lipstick ($20) to the Georgia Chapter of Mental Health of America. The proceeds will go directly toward educating the pubic about mental illness in an effort to end the stigma that surrounds the disease.

The organic, fragrance- and SLS-free Sustain Natural Unscented Body Wash ($17) was developed by the vaginal health brand for use all over the body. Ten percent of profits also go to women's organizations because, as the brand's site says, 20 million US women lack access to safe reproductive health care.

Sterling McDavid walked away from a Wall Street job to create and sell The Starling Project Candles ($55). This brand supports UNICEF's efforts to build solar-power systems in developing countries. Hand-poured scents like Hyacinth + Bamboo are standouts from the indie collection and favored by those who gravitate toward bold but clean scents.

If you love empowering women and looking fly as heck, then you should know that purchasing Beautiful Rights Gloss Ceiling Lip Gloss ($24) will help accomplish both goals. Sales of this universally flattering shade (think: the cult version of Fenty Gloss Bomb) go toward funding Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and other female and LGBTQ+ rights groups.

Brandless Organic Virgin Coconut Oil ($3) can be used as a moisturizer, hair treatment, cuticle oil . . . beauty junkies know the list goes on and on. Opting for this product means that you'll support a brand that donates one meal to Feeding America with each purchase.

Ten dollars of each Sephora Stands Fearless Rouge Cream Lipstick ($13) is donated to the product's namesake organization, which empowers women by funding female-led entrepreneurial efforts.
