About Rare Beauty

Selena Gomez’s vision for Rare Beauty breaks down unrealistic standards of perfection in the makeup industry. The brand’s mission is to help wearers celebrate the rarity that is their individuality, the main objective being “to create a safe, welcoming space in beauty — and beyond — that supports mental well-being across age, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, cultural background, physical or mental ability and perspective,” according to the Rare Beauty site.

Rare Beauty products are cruelty-free, meaning they were developed without experimentation on animals. Depending on the type, they’re also ophthalmologist- and/or dermatologist-tested. Many of the products have noncomedogenic ingredients that won’t clog or block pores, and there are options for sensitive skin. Rare Beauty has a selection of vegan products, as well. It's a skin-friendly, self-aware brand that wants to make the world a better place.
