October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and an important time to highlight why research and fundraising remain so crucial. Throughout the month (and beyond) many fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands have launched limited-edition collections and empowering campaigns that bring awareness to the disease, which is the most commonly diagnosed in Australia.
Many brands are continuing their tradition of giving back to the cause, including Estée Lauder, which is in its 28th year of raising funds for breast cancer research, and Ralph Lauren, which is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its Pink Pony campaign. Below, the pink products to shop this month that give back to the cause.
