Help Rebuild Lives & Small Businesses Devastated by Helene

The Conscious Beauty Collective is a group of 50+ indie beauty & wellness founders. We are all small brands, independently owned, and most of us are self-funded. We launched in 2022 and do pop-ups, co-marketing, and more to help each other grow.

Now, we are helping 2 of our brands that were crushed by Hurricane Helene. We will be splitting any funds we get 50/50 between these two founders.

We are raising money for:

1) ADORAtherapy -- a chakra wellness fragrance business based in Asheville, NC. They just opened a second store in Miami where the Conscious Beauty Collective currently has a pop-up. You can see their video update -- Asheville is devastated. Their employees are struggling. Many of them still don't have water, and there's a shortage of basic necessities. And of course, they won't be able to get back to work soon. The funds will be used primarily to keep their employees on payroll as they work through the plan to get back up and running.

2) SUN DRUNK -- Sun Drunk- a suncare brand on the beaches of western Florida. Their home and cars flooded and they were forced to evacuate. They also lost almost all of their inventory. They have had to shut down the business while they sort out their life. Cat, the founder, is a mom of 3 young children, so they first need to get situated in a place to stay, keep their kids in school, and make sure everyone is safe. Then, they can focus back on rebuilding their house and the business to get it back up and running as soon as possible. The funds will be used primarily to help them live outside of their house while it gets repaired and replace their damaged inventory & supplies.

Please help keep these families and small businesses going. Years of work has been wiped out by this hurricane and as a community who believes strongly in the power of small businesses, let's join forces to help them persevere.
