Beauty and cosmetic companies from all over the world are getting involved and donating to relief efforts for the victims in Japan. Big cosmetic brands such as Shiseido and SK-II are located in Japan, and they took a hit with the recent catastrophes. The Red Cross is accepting donations, but you can find your own way to help and get involved.

BellaSugar gave a list of companies that have contributed. I’ve listed them here to give you a little inspiration:

  • Procter & Gamble: They’re donating $1.2 billion in cash and products.
  • Amway: They donated an initial ¥100 million and is going to match its employee’s donations up to $250,000.
  • Hello Kitty’s Japan-based parent company Sanrio has also donated.
  • Sanrio, the company behind the Japan-based Hello Kitty brand, has donated to relief efforts.
  • L'Oréal is donating $1.3 million to the Japanese Red Cross .
  • $100 from every sale of Temptu’s Airbrush Makeup System Kits is going to Red Cross until the end of March.
  • Lush is talking about donating 40,000 soaps to the affected areas.
