Comments: Selena Gomez founded Rare Beauty in 2019 to help women embrace their uniqueness in lieu of comparing themselves to others, and in doing so, make an impact.

The company’s Rare Impact Fund (rareimpactfund.org) aims to support the mental health of its community, employees and partners. By celebrating everyone’s uniqueness and making people feel more connected, Rare Beauty works to reduce the stigma associated with mental health and give people access to the resources they need to support their mental well-being.

Last year, it was rumored that Gomez was exploring the sale of Rare Beauty. She reportedly hired Raymond James and Goldman Sachs investment banks to handle any deal, according to sources. Experts put Rare Beauty’s value anywhere between $1 and $2 billion.
