Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) month is going strong and millions of women are proud to celebrate the Power of Pink this month. Since women rule the world and have the highest buying power I went in search of products that are useful to women and give back to Breast Cancer Awareness causes. Here are my top picks for this year.
1. Recovery Brobe - Unlike standard hospital gowns, the Recovery Brobe is stylish, comfortable and offers women the support they need to recover after mastectomy, breast reconstruction or augmentation. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, The Brobe will host its “Heal Comfortable, Feel Beautiful” campaign to empower women undergoing breast cancer treatment.
2. Born Foaming Cleanser - A light foaming cleanser offers a gentle, yet effective cleansing. Each product is chemical-free and finds innovative ways to use the grape, with its skin and seeds containing over 90% health value. 5% of sales will be donated to the Breast Cancer Fund.
3. ProSource Acupressure Mat & Pillow Set - A simple bed of 6,210 acupressure points that helps relieve stress, stimulate endorphins, reduce pain, and increase energy. 5% of sales from all pink products this October will benefit The Breast Cancer Charities of America (BCCA). ProSource chose to partner with BCCA because the company strives to inspire active, healthy lifestyles with their products, and knows that a physically active lifestyle is a key factor in preventing breast cancer.
4. DermaFlash - DermaFlash is a non-invasive at home exfoliating device. Breast Cancer Awareness is a cause that is very near and dear to DermaFlash Founder Dara Levy.

During the month of October, a percentage of all DermaFlash device sales will be donated to Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation (LSCRF).
