October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and there’s no better way to show your clients you care than by retailing products that donate a portion of their proceeds to benefit breast cancer organizations.

 1. Fleur d’Amour by Silvie Beljanski is a toxin-free, light, subtle floral fragrance containing Mediterranean citruses, luxurious woods, and rich musk. For each bottle sold, $5 will be donated to cancer research. 

2. The Hershey’s Kiss Jewelry Collection by Hope Paige Designs features pendants, earrings, and charms in sterling silver or 14k gold. This silver-plated kiss necklace is adorned with a breast cancer awareness ribbon, and donations are made to the Young Survival Coalition.

3. Mirabella’s “Hope” lip color is perfectly pink, features a smooth and creamy long-wearing mineral formula, and has a soft vanilla scent. For each tube sold in salons and spas, $1 will be donated to the City of Hope disease research and treatment center.

4. Surgeon’s Skin Secret Beeswax Moisturizer sticks help reduce the appearance and feel of dry, chapped, or irritated skin. Made of beeswax and grapefruit extract, these compact, easy-to-carry moisture sticks massage easily into skin. A portion of the proceeds go to breastcancer.org.

5. Mélange Perfume’s Pink Solid Perfumes are a combination of fragrance notes and essential oils in a base of beeswax and jojoba oil. The perfume glides on without feeling sticky. Thirty percent of proceeds go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

6. Sunfeather’s fun Howdy Booby Time collection was created to increase awareness of the importance of regular breast self-exams. The labeling on these rosewood and lavender bath products reminds users to perform exams. A portion of products sold is donated to the American Breast Cancer Foundation.

7. This Fuchsia with Yellow Center Silk Double Flower Clip by Unique Vintage is the perfect bold hair clip. During the month of October, Unique Vintage is donating 20% from the sale of this and other select items to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
