content: This makeup compact is an example of the products sold by the Estée Lauder cosmetic company to help raise funds for breast cancer research. In 1992, the company used the power of its global brand to launch a campaign to bring attention to breast cancer. The company’s use of the pink ribbon helped to popularize pink ribbons as a symbol of concern about breast cancer. Through their purchases of these specially branded products, consumers help to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
