Sephora shoppers can now redeem their Beauty Insider points for a great cause and make a difference. “When you redeem your points for a Charity Reward, Sephora will donate the corresponding amount below through our philanthropic partner, the Tides Foundation to benefit the featured charity,” mentioned the brand on their website. The behemoth beauty brand will select a featured charity every month and for every 500 points, you can donate $10. All the proceeds for June will go to The National Black Justice Coalition and will use the donations to fight racism, homophobia and LGBTQ/SGL bias and stigma at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. “NBJC Sephora Racial Equity Partner since August of 2019 and is dedicated to ending racism, homophobia, bias, and stigma toward Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and same-gender-loving people, including people living with HIV/AIDS,” mentioned the brand on a statement.

We stand in solidarity with our Black employees, colleagues, friends, and the community,” shared the Sephora team.
