Time to shop for a worthy cause this month.

Breast cancer happens way more often than you think. It’s a scary fact but here in Malaysia, one out of 19 women is at risk and almost up to 50% of women diagnosed were reported to be under the age of 50. That’s why awareness on this topic is incredibly important as early detection can help you catch it when it is most treatable.

While breast cancer awareness is important all year round, October marks the official month to increase attention and support for this disease. Read on for some of the incredible efforts brought forward by some of your favourite beauty brands to this cause this month.
