Why We Do What We Do

November 21, 2022

‘Tis the season…to make a change in this bat shit world.

Things in the world have been tough to say the very least. We have watched as the rights of women, the LGBTQ+ community, and even our own planet have stripped away. With the weight of it all, it may seem like there’s nothing you can do to help these causes that are so close to us all. But with philanthropy - which can include donating money, raising awareness, and amplifying the voices of others - you can take action!

All of us at Momotaro Apotheca have always been passionate about philanthropy and helping others close to our hearts. That's why we've committed ourselves to giving back and using our platform to fight for causes that are important to us. From reproductive rights and bodily autonomy to environmental sustainability and women’s empowerment around the world, we believe that change can start with us, one vulvovaginal health product at a time.

Through the years we have partnered with and given back to organizations such as: The Cupcake Girls, Planned Parenthood, Covenant House, Glits Inc, Women's Prison Association, among many others. And that’s just the beginning.

This brings us to our upcoming philanthropic event: Reverse Black Friday.

While Black Friday is normally based around finding the best sales (and don’t get us wrong, we love a good deal), we take this day to focus on conscious consumerism and the power our money can have on the world around us. That’s why we take 100% of profits made on Black Friday weekend and donate them to a cause we care about. And this year, we will be partnering with an organization that meets at the intersection of women's rights and environmental change. Because PSA: empowered women make the world a better place.

Stay tuned for the reveal of Reverse Black Friday partnership and how we can all give back this holiday season.
