In honor of Giving Tuesday, Thrive Causemetics and Bigger Than Beauty Skincare volunteered with long-time Giving Partner Beauty 2 The Streetz at the Midnight Mission in downtown Los Angeles.

Founded by 2021 CNN Hero Shirley Raines, Beauty 2 The Streetz brings essential services—hot meals, showers and hair and makeup —to hundreds of unhoused people across Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas each week.

Raines’ mission goes beyond meeting basic needs; she fosters human connection, restoring dignity and hope. Since 2017, Thrive Causemetics has contributed over $1.6 million in funds and products to support Beauty 2 The Streetz.

“At Thrive Causemetics, we believe in the power of beauty to change lives—not just through our products, but through the impact we make together,” said Karissa Bodnar, founder and CEO of Thrive Causemetics. “We are honored to support Beauty 2 The Streetz and their compassionate work in creating moments of care, connection, and humanity for those often overlooked. Giving back is at the heart of everything we do, and thanks to our customers and Giving Partners, we’ve been able to donate over $150 million in funds and products to help communities thrive around the world. Together, we all thrive.”

Bigger than Beauty Mission

Thrive Causemetics brought together a group of over 40 community activists, actors and professional hair and makeup artists. This team featured notable participants such as Pressley Hosbach, Charli Burnett, Christine Obanor and Dee Daly. The initiative exemplified Thrive Causemetics’ Bigger Than Beauty mission and its unwavering commitment to creating positive change through beauty, kindness, and community collaboration. This collaborative effort further fuels Thrive Causemetics’ Virtuous Circle, a continuous motion of generosity, impact, and transformation that touches countless lives of their consumers, community and Giving Partners.
