We all have a cause. Ours is “Beauty for a Cause” as evidenced by our dedication to individual wellness with quality clean ingredients (because what you put on your skin is just as important as what you put in your body) and our commitment to collective wellness through our philanthropic efforts. A percentage of Gemini Beauty’s profits are donated to Lupus LA, a non-profit organization that provides a variety of support opportunities for patients in all stages of Lupus and professional development opportunities to the practitioners that serve them. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that results in inflammation and pain among the body; for many, it’s reflected through skin flares or organ involvement. Symptoms that have impacted my own family as my father, older sister, and I live with this diagnosis. Lupus has affected over 1.5 million people in the United States; in Los Angeles County 90% of those affected are women. And 1 in 3 are women of color. Lupus LA was chosen, specifically, because of the widespread nature of this disease, the immense positive impact this organization is making, and out of gratitude for the help and guidance we have received personally from the Lupus LA community. We are honored to be linking arms with Lupus LA. Read more about them below.
