Born from a personal mission to provide clinically-proven, clean cosmetics to those with compromised immune systems after losing her close friend, Kristy Lemond to cancer at just 24 years old, Bodnar's vision has gone above and beyond that as she strives to make tangible difference in the world through giving back. Since 2015, Thrive Causemetics®  has donated over $150 MILLION in funds and products to over 600 non-profit organizations that help communities enduring cancer, emerging from homelessness, surviving domestic abuse, fighting for racial and social justice, pursuing education, supporting LGBTQ+ causes, uplifting underserved marginalized youth, and assisting military + veterans. Most recently, the brand's commitment to creating positive change recently included a $500,000 donation to wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles. "When I created Thrive Causemetics® from my one-bedroom apartment and formulated our first products in my kitchen, I could only imagine we'd be celebrating 10 years of impact with a global community of customers who believe in beauty that gives back," said Bodnar. "This milestone is a testament to the power of purpose-driven business fueled by YOU, our customers. "I'm so proud that we've stayed true to being woman-owned, backed by a community who believes every beauty choice can make a real difference
