Impact Strategy
Years ago, the standard of beauty was previously defined by a select few editorial authorities and only a handful of beauty brands. We realized that the perception of what was considered beautiful was not only narrow, but unrealistic and undoubtedly misrepresentative of the fabric of humanity.
Certain communities weren’t represented equitably in the beauty industry, so we started amplifying and investing in Black, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ communities and brands, which today make up our focus communities. We want to create a world where everyone feels beautiful, no matter what they look like. We know beauty can only be democratized when it becomes accessible, and accessibility happens through education, opportunity, and availability.
We are committed to making more progress in these areas for the sake of our community, but also for the sake of the beauty industry at large. Collaboration will be essential to making meaningful change.
IPSY Impact is a company-wide movement to inspire self-expression and celebrate the unique beauty of people and the planet through the brands, products, and communities we support.
