How to check a skincare brand’s giving claims

A charitable connection can matter when choosing a brand. Look for a clear description of what is contributed, who receives it and which purchases are included.

Ask how the contribution works

Does the brand give a fixed amount, a percentage or a one-off donation? What period does the commitment cover? A general statement about giving back may not answer those questions.

Check the recipient and context

Look for a named organisation and, where available, its own confirmation of the relationship. A photograph, logo or old campaign announcement should not be assumed to describe a current contribution.

Keep the purchase decision separate

Choose a product that fits your routine and budget. A charitable story does not establish product performance or suitability. You can value the cause while still asking for a complete ingredient list and clear return conditions.
