The chemicals in their products may increase the risk of breast cancer and might even interfere with treatment. Tell them to clean up their products and stop pinkwashing!

From an outside perspective, all of the pink probably seems impressive. What could be wrong with brands and corporations wanting to raise awareness and funds for such an important cause?
Pinkwashing, as defined by the Breast Cancer Consortium, is the act of supporting the breast cancer cause or promoting a pink ribbon product while producing, manufacturing, or selling products linked to the disease. In recent years, the definition has expanded to include a darker side of pinkwashing: companies and organizations that exploit breast cancer for profit or public relations.
I love that so many brands go out of their way to show support through turning their window displays pink, coming out with pink products, and running campaigns that support the cause. Each year, these corporations sell thousands of products by associating a pink ribbon with giving back. What if, instead of putting all of that money toward marketing and advertising materials, that money went directly to a nonprofit, a hospital, or breast cancer research?
Betty Ford recognized this and played a major role in bringing breast cancer out of the shadows by actually allowing the press into her hospital room and sharing her breast cancer diagnosis with the media. In fact, she was one of the first women to ever publicly talk about her diagnosis. Her openness about her diagnosis was revolutionary, and because of her the number of women getting breast exams increased dramatically, as did the number of women willing to talk about it.
Evelyn went on to launch a nonprofit, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation BCRF , and has raised millions of dollars for breast cancer research and drastically increased awareness for the disease, as the Estee Lauder Companies continue to do today. This catapulted the BRCA gene into the spotlight and was the catalyst for women around the world to undergo genetic testing, and for funding to go toward genetic cancer research. These are just a few examples of women in the breast cancer community making a difference, and how awareness has evolved over the years.
But it seems that in most of us are aware, and to spend millions of marketing and advertising dollars to raise funds for breast cancer awareness might be missing the mark.
What we need is to raise money for research, community support, educational resources, and hospitals. When a brand or corporation puts their money toward these things, real change happens and it directly impacts those of us who are affected by breast cancer.
