It can be challenging to find makeup brands that do not support Israel, as many major brands have links to the countrys oppression of Palestine. However, there are some options available:
- Co-op brand products: This brand does not support the Israeli occupation.
- Maraai and Rawabi: These brands also do not support the Israeli occupation.
- Huda Beauty: While this brand has faced backlash for its founders refusal to accept "blood money" from Israeli customers, it is not clear if the brand explicitly supports or opposes the Israeli occupation.
- Palestinian-owned businesses: Supporting Palestinian-owned businesses, such as Mamaesh, Bait Maryam, and Meshkah, is another way to avoid supporting the Israeli occupation.
- Brands that support the Palestinian struggle: Some cosmetics brands actively support the Palestinian struggle, such as Phees Makeup and The Balm.
It is worth noting that many major cosmetics brands, such as LOreal and Estée Lauder, are explicitly opposed to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which aims to put economic pressure on Israel to end its occupation of Palestine. Therefore, it may be challenging to find makeup brands that align with BDS principles.
