Pink October – Gentle Care & Breast Cancer Awareness

Pink October is dedicated to breast cancer awareness, early detection and support. While beauty products can’t diagnose or treat any medical condition, they can play a role in helping you feel more comfortable, confident and cared for during regular check-ups, treatment journeys or while supporting loved ones.

This month is a reminder to learn about breast health, schedule check-ups where needed and speak to healthcare professionals if you notice changes. Alongside these important steps, you can build gentle, comforting routines using products suitable for sensitive skin, dryness and tired-looking skin.

Explore gentle formulas and minimal-ingredient routines from brands like Simple, CeraVe, La Roche-Posay and Dr Organic that focus on comfort and barrier support.

Soothing Body Care & Comfort Rituals

When you’re going through a lot emotionally or physically, small body care rituals can bring moments of calm. Choose nourishing, non-stripping cleansers and moisturisers from our body care section, including formulas for rough or dry skin and stretch marks & scars.

Hydrating creams and oils from Nivea, Palmers, Creme 21 and Fair & White can help keep the skin feeling soft and cared for.

Hair & Scalp Care During Sensitive Moments

For anyone experiencing changes to their hair or scalp – whether due to stress, hormonal shifts or treatment – gentle care is key. Look for mild shampoos and soothing treatments under sensitive scalp, as well as hydrating options for dry & brittle hair.

Supportive, moisture-rich formulas from Shea Moisture, As I Am, Hawaiian Silky and Mizani can help keep hair feeling nourished and manageable.

Soft Makeup for Confidence Boosts

On days when you’d like a little extra confidence, soft, breathable makeup can help you feel more like yourself. Explore lightweight bases under foundation and concealer, and choose non-heavy options for eyes and lips from our eye makeup and lip makeup sections.

Gentle, comfortable formulas from brands like Maybelline, Zaron, Divas Cosmetics and Revlon can help you create soft, uplifting looks.

Awareness, Support & Kindness

Pink October is also about community – checking in on friends and family, sharing accurate information and encouraging one another to prioritise health. Remember to speak to healthcare professionals about any medical concerns, and use beauty as a personal tool for comfort and expression along the journey.

Discover gentle-care essentials, comforting textures and everyday beauty favourites at the online beauty store that cares for your glow and wellbeing, and let your Pink October routine be a reminder of strength, softness and support.
