Beauty brands, many of which use the Amazon's ample resources to source essential ingredients for their products, have begun to use their influence to help, launching campaigns to raise funds for charities and non-profits working to save this area and its massively important ecosystem. While plenty of these campaigns have been short-lived, with brands choosing to pick one day to donate 100% of its own profits to worthy causes, others have created more longer-term initiatives to help fight these flames.
Ahead, we've rounded five brands that are still collecting and matching funds for these charities that are still actively fighting to contain and extinguish these massive blazes.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
Pacifica
Through September 1, cruelty-free makeup and skin-care brand Pacifica is donating 5% of sales to Amazon Conservation, a non-profit that's been working to protect the western Amazon region and its indigenous communities since 1999.
Pacifica Body Butter Coconut - SPF 50 , $13.99, available at Target
To make sure the donations are coming from actual clients and customers, you must subscribe to either the brand's mailing list or the Sunday Edit mailing list, and then send confirmation of donation from the charity to hello@sundayriley.com.
With donations accepted through the week of September 9 and individual donations capped at $500, the impact of this campaign could be substantial.

Rahua
The beauty brand Rahua has long been fighting to protect the Amazon rainforests, with its environmentalist founders preserving more than 105,000 acres of rainforest since its launch in 2008. To further help this region, which supplies the ungurahua nut oil it uses in its products, the brand is donating 10% of all sales from its website to Land Is Life, which works directly with indigenous communities in the Amazon to get them the resources they need to help contain the fires.
Cardea AuSet, the plant-based skin-care and wellness brand, is donating 20% of all profits from its website through September 1 to Amazon Watch, a non-profit that partners with indigenous and environmental organizations to advocate for, protect, and preserve the Amazon’s vital ecosystems.
Cardea AuSet NOIRE Charcoal Mask, $38, available at Cardea AuSet

The skin-care brand B3 Balm has created a limited-edition "Save The Amazon" set, which includes a facial oil, lip oil, and moisturizer. Retailing for $100, 100% of all profits are going to Rainforest Trust, which has worked to preserve millions of acres since its foundation in 1988, and the World Wildlife Fund, which is monitoring the animals impacted by these fires, through the end of September.
