One company that gives back to the world is the cosmetic
company, L’Oreal Paris. They teamed up with Ovarian Cancer Research fund (OCRF)
back in 1997, to raise money to help find cures for ovarian cancer. They have
helped raised more$20 million and currently have three researchers studying to
find a cure.
“Fully committed to
the fight against ovarian cancer, L’Oréal Paris has created far-reaching
programs and fundraising initiatives to further the cause of ovarian cancer
research and to help as many women as possible learn about the disease and its
symptoms so they are aware of the signs.”

L’Oreal has also come up with the makeup collection, Color
of Hope, to help raise funds for research that will last until they find the
cure. This collection is available at Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid. L’Oreal donated $2.00 for every purchase of
Color of Hope Colour Riche Nuturing & Protective Lipcolour.

this type of cancer. This necklace costs $29.95 at www.lorealcolorofhope.com and with

"Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer
as, unlike most other cancers, there is no early detection test," said
L'Oreal Paris in a statement. "One woman loses her life every 10 hours
from this terrible disease and it is our collective mission to change this
horrifying statistic… and help stop the silent killer." http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/marie-claire/beauty/news/article/-/10949901/l-oreal-paris-helps-fight-ovarian-cancer/
