Did Your Spring Cleaning? Here's Where to Donate Your Beauty Products

06/03/2019 - 10:50 PM

So you've finally made it through binge-watching Netflix's Tidying Up With Marie Kondo, you've purged everything that doesn't spark joy, and now you have a mountain of rejected beauty products [1] in need of a home. Luckily, there are a handful of organisations that collect your new, unused, or gently used products and give them to someone in need. Ahead, check out five places you can donate your beauty products [2] so you can declutter with a clear conscience.

Project Beauty Share

Project Beauty Share [3] is based out of Spokane, WA, and collects products and donates them directly to local shelters for marginalized women. The organisation accepts new and gently used makeup, toiletries, and tools and prepares them for donation. You can check out which new and gently products it accepts here [4], as well as where to send them.

Dress For Success

Not only does Dress For Success accept business attire for women to use for interviews, but it also accepts unopened beauty products. This helps the interviewee feel their most confident and maybe even land the job. There are plenty of places to donate throughout the US [5].

Beauty Bus

The California-based Beauty Bus provides in-home services to people who are ill and cannot leave their homes, as well as their caregivers. The organisation also provides bags of new, sealed products to each client from donations. You can send your sealed, new products here [6].

Share Your Beauty

Share Your Beauty [7] partners with beauty brands, professionals, bloggers, and anyone else who might have unopened beauty products to give some pampering to teens and women in crisis. You can send the New York-based company your unused products or drop them off at one of its locations.

Go Local!

Give your local women's shelter a call to see if it'll take your leftover beauty products. Chances are it has some sort of program that will be conveniently located to you and make many people happy.
