First Aid Beauty is a specialized skincare label operating under the larger Procter & Gamble umbrella and recognized for its formulations targeting reactive and dry skin. The brand has recently entered into a sponsorship agreement to become the exclusive skincare provider for the United States team competing in the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The partnership will also feature promotional support from selected American winter sports athletes, including Para cross-country skier Sydney Jo Peterson and Olympic Snowboarder Jamie Anderson, who will serve as official brand representatives.
