Lilah b. is already making a difference in the world as a leading clean beauty brand, but they’re going the extra mile this month by donating products and 15% of all Divine Duo Lip & Cheek sales to Project Glimmer, an organization that empowers at-risk teenage girls and women through confidence building activities and gifts. They just launched a new limited-edition shade for International Women’s Day called b. incredible.

As a modern, socially conscious women’s personal care company, Cora aims to change the conversation about women’s personal care issues such as menstruation and postpartum.

For every post, Cora will give pads and health education to support the future of girls in need. In the meantime, the purchase of this stunning necklace supports the period equality movement and provides a whole year’s supply of pads, plus health education, to a girl in Kenya.

Net-a-Porter actually has an entire page of goodies for International Women’s Day, featuring t-shirts, books and shoes.
