EMPOWERMENT. COMMUNITY. CONNECTION. 💪 We are honored to support dasBUUSENKOLLEKTIV , a non-profit organization dedicated to breaking the stigma around breast cancer and encouraging hope. cosnova is a proud partner of "dasBuusenkollektiv," supporting the organization with a donation of €20,000. Through the photo project "Let Your Scars Shine," "dasBuusenkollektiv" brings hope to women before and after breast cancer surgery by celebrating the beauty of their scars. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where cracks in pottery are repaired with gold, this project celebrates the beauty in what many consider flaws—showing that scars are a reflection of strength and resilience. 🌟 With our brand Catrice we supported the Photoshoot by creating a Makeup Area where all women felt empowered, seen and beautiful the way they are. The powerful images from this project will be featured in a booklet, with 10,000 copies printed and distributed to breast cancer centers across Germany. The booklet is filled with powerful images, encouraging words, and clear information on surgical options, dasBuusenkollektiv is giving women the courage to embrace their journey with breast cancer. 💬 Konstantinos Maleskos , Senior Brand Communication & Creation Manager: “With our mission to ‘Make everyone feel more beautiful,’ we aim to help people feel beautiful and strong. ‘Let Your Scars Shine’ embodies perfectly this spirit.” We believe that talking about breast cancer openly, without fear or stigma, is vital to building a future of empowerment and connection. 💗 #Empowerment #LetYourScarsShine #cosnova #BreastCancerAwareness #CatriceCosmetics Photos by Buusenkollektiv
