The new Quo Beauty pride collection helps provide peer support, education, and advocacy of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community through a partnership with Pflag Canada
Shoppers Drug Mart Inc. (“Shoppers Drug Mart”) is once again supporting Canadians as they celebrate Pride month with the launch of its Quo Beauty™ pride collection. Nearly 60 new bold and playful limited-edition beauty products and accessories are now available to inspire vibrant looks and celebrate the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
“Pride month is a time to celebrate and show support,” says Kelly Jessop, Senior Vice President, Merchandising, at Shoppers Drug Mart. “These new Quo Beauty products are fun and innovative, while meaningfully supporting the community through our donation to Pflag Canada. Inspiration for our line comes from our customers and their creativity when it comes to Pride, and we think everyone is going to love the collection.”
Shoppers Drug Mart will once again contribute 10 percent of sales of the Quo Beauty pride collection up to a maximum $25,000 contribution to Pflag Canada. Through an additional corporate donation of $20,000 to the organization, the retailer will also support 60 local chapters that dedicate resources and services to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community through outreach programs, education, and advocacy.
“Diversity and inclusion are at the core of the Quo Beauty brand as we develop products for all our customers,” continues Jessop. “Offering high-quality products at an accessible price point is more important than ever, and our Quo Beauty pride collection is no exception. We can’t wait to see how Canadians are going to celebrate this year.”
The collection features brightly colored lip glosses, eyeshadows, eyelashes, liner stamps, brow stickers, nail polish, and accessories including hair clips, headbands, sunglasses, and much more.
The Quo Beauty Pride collection is available in stores and online, while supplies last. The color cosmetics lineup is vegan, cruelty-free, and PETA-certified focusing on minimal packaging.
