Meet Billie, The Affordable Monthly Beauty Club That Also Gives Back

Meet Billie, The Affordable Monthly Beauty Club That Also Gives Back

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

The new subscription-based service Billie is here to support women beyond making them look good. The women-first company not only creates great products but also gives back. Best of all, the products are also free of the “pink tax”.

What exactly is a “pink tax”? 

It’s the (bad) business practice of marking-up products marketed towards women, even when they’re exactly the same as their male counterparts. Razors are a prime example. Women’s razors are usually $2 – $3 more than a men’s razor.

Billie offers reasonably priced premium body products in a monthly subscription and also donates 1% of all revenue to women’s causes, including maternal support group Every Mother Counts.

Billie allows users to choose from a monthly, bi-monthly or tri-monthly delivery option. Another perk of signing up for your beauty essentials with this brand is that they offer a “Pink Tax Rebate”, meaning they reimburse members on the funds they’ve overspent from buying marked-up products targeted toward women.
