#IAMGLOBALBEAUTY A fundraising campaign.

Beauty comes in many forms. 

We are all unique and different and that's what makes us beautiful. Our mission is to celebrate diversity and inclusivity in the world of beauty and beyond. 

In an effort to celebrate and highlight the various beauty around the world, we're starting our very first GLOBAL BEAUTY CAMPAIGN to help empower women in need. 

How To Be Involved: 

*Post a picture of yourself on Instagram. 

*In the comment section, complete the phrase: Global Beauty means ______.

*Use the hashtag #iamglobalbeauty and tag @linahanson

*Don't forget to tell your followers:

For each post, Lina Hanson will donate $1 to Change International - a non-profit NGO that hopes to end violence against women and children and support victims of violence, enslavement, human trafficking and war.

Help us empower women and children in need around the world!

A note from Lina: 

"In 2015 I went to Kurdistan, Northern Iraq and visited one of the largest refugee camps there. Since my visit there, I have not been able to stop thinking about the people we met. Seeing first-hand the horrible conditions that they were in, I felt a strong desire to do something. I'm delighted to announce that we have teamed up with Change International, led by a wonderful woman named Delal Sindy. She opened my eyes to the refugee crisis in Kurdistan and her devotion to the people there is just astounding. Teaming up with Change International feels extra special to me because I KNOW that the donations will go directly to the women and children who need it the most."

We will be continuing to team up with small charities around the world that help empower women and girls in need. We will be announcing new charities in the near future.

"Now more than ever is the time to embrace and celebrate the diverse beauty in this world. I truly believe that no matter who you are, the shade of your skin, where you come from - You are beautiful, you are loved and you matter" 

The result of Lina's journey to the Far East: An invigorating and uplifting scent that awakens the senses with grounding sandalwood, and notes of crisp and refreshing japanese yuzu and ginger.

"My goal was to create a perfume that evokes the beauty of the landscape and culture of the Far East. An elegant, sexy and unique scent that transports you to the most exotic and remote areas of South East Asia."

A few months ago our film MIKAEL was invited to the Duhok International Film Festival in Kurdistan, Northern Iraq. 

While in Kurdistan, we visited one of the largest refugee camps there. Seeing first-hand the conditions that the people were in, we felt we needed to do something. Due to the curfews in place at the camps, we decided to bring the film to them. With the help of a few friends, we put together an outdoor movie screening for a large group of them.

MIKAEL tells the story of a man, despite his current circumstances, travels back to his ancentral home of Iraq to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a professional soccer player. When most films we see about the Middle East focus on war and violence, MIKAEL is a story of hope that shows another side of the Middle East.

Watch the video of our visit to the camp. 

Thank you to all who participated: Delal Sindy, Kovan Sindi, Hasan Hagi, Ahmed Gulli, Sarwan Sakwan Halo, Salim Abi, Marcid Ebdul Mecid, Tofan Zaxoy, Jose Moreno Brooks, Juan Raymundo Ramos.

"As an antidote to fast paced blockbuster films, this subtle, powerful, very human and deeply moving film also manages through its subject matter to have a unifying effect upon the audience. MIKAEL...a lovely indie gem.”    -Tim Sika - President -San Francisco Film Critics Circle

Hi friends,

After months of hard work on the new look, I'm so thrilled to share everything with you!  We're so happy with it, and I'm excited for you all to experience the entire Global Collection. Each and every product is unique and I look forward to introducing them to you. 

I’ve poured my heart into every aspect of this entire creation, and have been loving every step of the journey. Everything from where we source the ingredients, to the formulating, to the celebration of Global Beauty, is all aligned with who I am and what I believe in.  An all-embracing, globally conscious way of living. Being Global is about caring for the world as a whole, and all people. Global Beauty is more than just skincare or makeup. It's about embracing who we are, our differences and loving the skin we are in.  

It’s been the core of our mission from the very start to share this message, and I’m so proud of my little team for helping us bring this vision to life. It has been a collaborated effort on so many levels and I’m so thankful. I couldn’t have done this on my own. 

A big thank you goes out to:

Kordo Doski:

My rock, my other half, co-founder & creative director is a filmmaker and has an amazing eye for visual art. His creative direction for our Global Beauty photo shoot and new branding has been huge and it’s so much fun working and collaborating together. He’s the best life and travel companion ever and is always up for my crazy adventures.

Bryan Jenkins:

Our friend, operating manager and the ultimate multi-purpose guy, manages production, ships out our packages, and handles administrative. He helps me run the business from our studio in LA, especially when Kordo and I are away traveling.

Thank you also to my little Global Family for all your ongoing efforts and for being big parts in this creation.
