Cosmetics for a Cause
By Jennifer Riley

Every three minutes, one U.S. woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. And if that’s not reason enough to support the search for a cure, consider that an estimated one in seven women—our mothers, sisters, friends, selves—will be afflicted with the disease in her lifetime. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, cosmetics companies are donating a portion of their proceeds to the cause. Here, our favorite pink-ribbon products.
