About Brands
Brands That Care for Society – John Frieda and Bioré
John Frieda is a national sponsor of GLSEN, the leading national education organization focused on ensuring safe schools for all students, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. At John Frieda, we believe in GLSEN’s mission to work locally in communities to ensure safe schools for all students – and in helping people find the power in who they are. While hair does not define one’s identity, we recognize that hair can be an integral part of gender identity and expression. That’s why we continue to be a national sponsor and partner with GLSEN to help create safe and inclusive schools for LGBTQ+ students. Together, we believe when you identify the things that make you, you, that’s true beauty.
The Bioré Skincare brand has always taken an unconventional approach to skincare, now we’re bringing that same thinking to mental health with our #GetThatSh*tOut Initiative. Embracing the brand’s core values of inclusivity, courage and curiosity, we are committed to improving society in our ongoing mission to normalize conversations about mental health and wellbeing. Through this initiative, our goal is to introduce and support healthy habits that will improve mental health now and for years to come.
