Today is International Women’s Day, and we’re excited to bring you some of our favorite products celebrating the day!

Desert Essence is a proud supporter of women’s education and partner of Because I am a Girl. Since 2012, Plan International’s USA has supported Because I am a Girl, a program aimed to reach 4 million girls to help transform their lives and communities by providing the education and skills they need to succeed. Plan International ensures that schools are safe, inclusive, and meaningful places for girls to learn and become healthy, engaged citizens of their community and nation. Just one extra year of primary education can mean up to 20% higher wages for a girl, strengthening the economy for her community and nation.

“Because I am a Girl shares many values we at Desert Essence have long believed in – making positive change and improving life around us” says, Christine Allmer, Director of Marketing at Desert Essence. To show their support, the brand will donate 1% of gross wholesale sales on the following products: Organic Coconut & Jojoba Oil, Organic Coconut, Jojoba & Pure Coffee Oil, Moringa and Jojoba & Rose Hip Oil.

International Women’s Day is a day to celebrate achievements amongst women and gender equality. This year, the theme is #beboldforchange–and we wanted to celebrate two women, both immigrants, who are changing the world via beauty.

Sarah Akkari, CEO of Senteurs d’Orient

Senteurs D’Orient was founded by Sarah’s mother years ago with a commitment to women–one that Sarah still maintains as CEO. The company, based in Lebanon, employs 90% women–from the office architect to the women who handmake the company’s beautiful soaps. What’s more–the company donates 10% of proceeds to educate women in Lebanon to help them become strong, independent and self-sufficient.

Jean is a product of Korean immigrant parents who moved her to the US for a better life and a better education. After spending years working for global haircare brands, Jean set out to create Fresh Monster–a company dedicated to bringing health hair and body care products to the masses. Jean doesn’t believe there should be a tradeoff between good-for-you ingredients and price. You can find her products at supermarkets, Walmart and Target, giving access to premium ingredients and formulas to all economic backgrounds.
