Mary Kay Ash was a visionary leader ahead of her time, all the time. Over 60 years ago, she flipped the script on “business as usual,” launching a timeless beauty brand built on purpose and designed to give women a pathway to entrepreneurship. She didn’t just challenge the workplace — she rewrote the rules, and showed what happens when you believe in the power of women. 

Her approach was simple and unshakeable: stay true to your values, work hard, and make everyone feel important. Mary Kay Ash’s legacy isn’t just iconic, her passion for recognition, mentorship, and community sparked a movement that empowered millions and continues to fuel our global brand today.

Our mission of enriching the lives of women around the globe has remained at our core for more than 60 years of our business, from providing a unique business opportunity to preserving the planet we are creating a better world for women. We recognize that true sustainability is not just about reducing our carbon footprint or recycling; it’s about creating a business that values and uplifts every individual, especially women, fosters social well-being and ensures economic growth that benefits everyone.

Since 1996, Mary Kay Inc. and its four Company-sponsored foundations have contributed over $230 million in monetary and in-kind donations to charitable organizations to improve the lives of women and their families around the world. Mary Kay Inc. is committed to empowering women and enriching their lives, providing hope and healing, caring for the planet and creating lasting impact through our multifaceted Pink Changing Lives® Program. 

Mary Kay’s Pink Changing Lives® cause-marketing campaign remains a cornerstone to giving back in local communities in meaningful ways. Since 2008, the Pink Changing Lives® Program has donated over $18 million, entirely funded by a portion of the sales of designated products in participating Mary Kay markets. Funds support causes including cancers affecting women, ending domestic violence, providing care and support for women and their families and beautifying communities where we live and work because women are at the heart of everything we do.
