The Charity Pot cream is a product by [Lush Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-bath-bomb) where proceeds are donated to [local grassroots charity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watier). On Giving Tuesday however, the brand will be donating 200% of the price (minus taxes) to local nonprofits that work to protect and preserve the environment. This is not the only environmentally conscious initiative by the brand. This past October, Lush Cosmetics closed all North American locations in order to participate in the Global Climate strike. This serves to further its environmental missions while gaining consumer loyalty and brand recognition. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Philanthropic Initiatives:** Opportunities to create charitable initiatives that support local grassroots charities and environmental causes. - **Environmental Consciousness:** Potential for brands to engage in environmentally conscious initiatives, such as participating in global climate strikes. - **Consumer Loyalty and Brand Recognition:** Importance of building consumer loyalty and brand recognition through philanthropic and environmentally friendly initiatives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cosmetics:** Opportunities for cosmetics brands to introduce charitable products and initiatives to support social and environmental causes. - **Nonprofit:** Nonprofit organizations focusing on grassroots charity, environmental protection, and preservation can benefit from collaborations with cosmetic brands. - **Retail:** Potential for retail companies to engage in philanthropic initiatives and socially responsible practices to enhance their brand reputation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited-Edition Bath Bomb Fundraisers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-bath-bomb.md) - [Skin-Loving Cruelty-Free Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skincare-makeup.md) - [Tech Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-tech-rebellion.md) - [Beauty Brand Community Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrive-causemetics-and-beauty-2-the-streetz.md) - [Unhoused Individuals-Supporting Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-2-the-streetz.md) - [Charitable Cosmetic Duos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blush-highlighter1.md) - [Celebratory Bath Bombs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hutan-limited-edition-bath-bomb.md) - [Charitable Lip Beauty Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watier.md) - [Brand-Supported Advocacy Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grassy-narrows.md)
