Who said beauty can’t benefit others? Many beauty and fashion companies are making it their mission to help others via their products. For some brands, that means donating proceeds to various causes, and for others, it means creating products that are good for our planet. Here are five beauty products that are good for more than just looking good!

Vitamin Friends
Vitamin Friends is a brand of healthy vitamins that meets all your family’s needs. Most gummy vitamins contain gelatin, which is derived from animals and animal products. Gelatin also sticks to teeth and causes cavities. Vitamin Friends gummies are made with all-natural pectin instead of gelatin, which makes them vegan (with the exception of some vitamins that contain honey), so they are good for the environment, as well as for your family.

 

Honey Belle
Honey Belle body cream will leave your skin glowing and hydrated with its all-natural ingredients. This product is completely vegan and cruelty-free and comes in amazing scents such as rose, lavender, jasmine lily, eucalyptus peppermint and nude (unscented). Honey Belle has products with good-for-you ingredients that won’t break the bank. The company also has a #SoapforSouls project, where Honey Belle donates a soap for each bar of body soap purchased. honeybelleshop.com.

 

Jane Iredale
Jane iredale is a line of cruelty-free, natural mineral makeup that is good for your skin and aims to enhance natural beauty. Many of the brand’s products have multiple uses and come in flattering and on-trend shades. The products are free of perfume, alcohol, synthetic chemicals and artificial dyes. Some packaging is reusable and refillable, and some is recyclable and renewable. janeiredale.com.

 

Ethique
Ethique is a sustainable beauty brand with an entirely solid product range. With these ethical products, there is absolutely zero waste. More than 80 billion plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles are being disposed of every year around the world. Ethique eliminates all waste by creating solid shampoo bars, conditioner bars, soap bars and more, which don’t require plastic packaging. The products come in 100 percent dissolvable and compostable sleeves that have prevented the manufacturing and disposal of more than 350,000 plastic containers worldwide. These solid products last two to five times longer than traditional products and are made with organic ingredients that are actually good for your skin. ethiquebeauty.com.

 

Shelly Cove
Shelly Cove is a family-friendly clothing line inspired by the “vacation mindset” that gives back to help recovering sea life. Shelly Cove has laid-back and trendy clothes, like a comfortable, relaxed-fit, 100 percent cotton tee, with pastel sea life illustrations. Not only are these vacation-inspired designs cute and comfortable, they give back in many ways. Shelly Cove has been able to donate more than six figures in revenue to wildlife sanctuaries, homeless shelters and mental health initiatives and regularly funds the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Sanctuary with a percentage of profits. shellycove.com.
