LOS ANGELES, CA — (April 26, 2012) /PRNewswire/ — JAFRA USA, a leader in empowering women personally and professionally through a career in direct selling, is partnering with Beauty Bus Foundation, a national non-profit organization that brings dignity, hope and respite through beauty and grooming services to those who need pampering the most – people with chronic and terminal illness and their caregivers. JAFRA USA has selected Beauty Bus Foundation, an organization founded by women entrepreneurs, as its national charity given its shared mission to impact lives through beauty.

Beauty Bus Foundation reminds its clients that they are beautiful on the inside and out through In-Home Visits and Pop-Up Salons in which licensed professionals provide free services such as manicures, pedicures, hairstyling, facials, and make-up. The organization also provides Bags of Beauty filled with complimentary beauty and grooming products to encourage clients to pamper themselves.

“We’ve been in the business of transforming lives for more than 55 years,” said Leah Cadavona, Director of Marketing, JAFRA USA. “That mission has taken on an even deeper resonance with JAFRA’s alliance with the Beauty Bus Foundation.”

Through the power of its wide network of Independent JAFRA Consultants throughout the U.S., JAFRA USA has embraced its partnership with Beauty Bus in a variety of ways including:

  • Financial support to bring Beauty Bus services to even more people in need
  • Special offers for a variety of JAFRA products with a portion of proceeds benefiting Beauty Bus
  • Hands on volunteer opportunities for Independent JAFRA Consultants
  • Support at Beauty Bus In-Home Visits and Pop-Up Salons throughout Southern California and across the nation
  • Generous donation of JAFRA signature skin care, beauty and grooming products for the Bags of Beauty program

To kick off our partnership, for every purchase of the Mariposa Monarch Color Collection now through May 31st, JAFRA will donate $1 to Beauty Bus. Please go to www.jafrausa.com for more details.

“We are so grateful for our partnership with JAFRA,” said Beauty Bus Founder Alicia Marantz Liotta. “Beauty Bus and JAFRA’s missions are congruently aligned; and together we will continue to transform lives through beauty.”

The Beauty Bus Foundation was founded in loving memory of Melissa Marantz Nealy, who passed away at the age of 28 from a degenerative neuromuscular disease. Melissa loved a good day at the spa. When her ability to leave the home became compromised, Founder Alicia Marantz Liotta, Melissa’s cousin, was able to schedule in-home beauty services through her connections within the beauty industry. Witnessing the hope, happiness and respite these services brought to Melissa, Alicia and Founder Wendy Marantz Levine, Melissa’s sister, were inspired to launch Beauty Bus Foundation.

“The founding of Beauty Bus by two caring women is highly synergistic with JAFRA’s goal of inspiring women to take action to enhance their lives and the lives of others,” Cadavona said. “We’re thrilled at the infinite possibilities to touch lives through this partnership.”
