First Aid Beauty (a.k.a. FAB) was created with a mission to rescue people from their biggest skin concerns. In 2020, the brand began the

The $1.7 Trillion student debt crisis in the United States greatly impacts mental health and life decisions such as career path, housing and even family planning. For the second year in a row
We’d never begrudge a brand from raking in profits for a wonderful product, but seeing First Aid Beauty reinvest money in its customers is the best kind of payback. This past February (which feels like 18 years ago), the brand announced its commitment to paying off $1 million of student loan debts through its FAB AID initiative, with 10 percent of proceeds from a special edition FAB AID Ultra Repair Cream added on top of that million dollar contribution. Last week, the brand announced its 24 winners, and that it’d be wiping out almost $1.3 million in student loans.
The reactions alone are enough to make your skin glow. One recipient with $91,765 paid off said, “You have no idea how much this means to me. I feel like I just lost this weight that I ve been carrying for so long,” while another person with $17,680 paid off said the freedom is going to launch her further on her “calling” to become a nurse and advocate for the Hispanic community.
