October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we have a new product to share! But first, let me tell you about the special products we already have that benefit breast cancer research.

Several years ago we introduced Pink Lady lip balm, with $1 from each balm going to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. A year later came the lotion, hand cream, and moisturizers gift set, and the Pink Lady lip balm favors. We donate $1 from the sale of each individual product–and a whopping $3 from the sale of each gift set–to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Most businesses will tell you that “x% of their sales” (or profits) are being donated, so let me break this down for you so you can compare. Giving $1 for each product means that we donate:

• 36% from the sale of each Pink Lady lip balm,
• 28.5% from the sale of each Pink Lady lip balm favor,
• 13% from the sale of each Pink Lady lotion,
• 14% from the sale of each Pink Lady cream, and
• 17.7% from the sale of each Pink Lady moisturizers gift set. This is NOT a percentage of our profits.

All of our Pink Lady products are available year-round, but we wanted to add something special this year, just for the month of October. Our NEW Pink Ribbon Pink Cupcake lip balm is available through October 31, and $1 from each tube of balm will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. (If you’re keeping track, that’s 33 1/3% from the $3 retail cost of each Pink Cupcake tube.)

We love these new balms–sweet pink balm, bright pink labels, cute pink caps–and we love donating to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. If you’re looking for a breast cancer awareness gift (or favor), please check out our Pink Lady page and let us know if we can help you with personalized favors or special gift sets! Thank you!
