Cosmetic company 'philosophy' has launched a statement-making beauty campaign that supports mental health initiatives.

The idea is that often in Western society, we ask one another about our well-being, but in a superficial way. philosophy has released a heart-felt commercial highlighting the objectives of the campaign. It is is meant to encourage people to dig a little deeper and try to understand each other's mental state. The brand believes that by having a more honest conversation that cuts deeper into how others are feeling, we can better support those living with mental health issues. This statement-making beauty campaign works to go even further. 100% of the proceeds of it's limited-edition 'Amazing Grace Firming Body Lotion' will go to organizations that support the mental health and well-being of women.

This is just one of a few examples of companies working to support social good initiatives, while targeting consumers who share its core values.
